Why Water Jet Cutting?

The  Water jet system is an ideal machine for the cutting of various materials and is extremely versatile compared to alternative machinery such as lasers .  Water jet cutting is performed with “pure water” for the cutting of – foam, package products, gaskets, Gibson board, carpet, food, rubber, and many other soft materials.  The power of this pure water jet is so strong it has the ability to cut  – steel, copper, aluminium, granite, marble, and even  laminated glassBear Glass uses Latest Water Jet Cutting Machine .

Glass Cutting Using Water Jet

At  Bear Glass we pride ourselves on staying up to date and keeping up with latest cutting edge technology. Waterjet cutting uses only a pressurized stream of water to cut through material. This type of cutting is limited to material with naturally occurring small cracks or softer material. That being said,   Bear Glass is excited to introduce our new  water jet technology! From i ntricate glass shapes to  mirrors,   glass ornaments, and more, there’s almost no  glass cutting application that a  water jet glass cutting system can’t tackle. Both thin and  thick glass materials can be cut and detailed with a precise cutting stream. And because water jet cutting does not vibrate the  glass, produce heat-affected zones, or leave behind rough edges, almost no secondary finishing is required. In addition, water jet cutting’s ability to generate exact, clean cuts with speed make it an efficient cutting process for the majority of  glass cutting applications.
