FAQ
What materials can the 6-axis robotic waterjet cut?
It cuts alloy steel, stone, glass, ceramics, composite materials, carbon fiber, food, and copper, among others. Typical industries include metalworking, aerospace, automotive, and architectural decoration.
How does the cold cutting process avoid thermal deformation?
The waterjet stream is at ambient temperature, so there is no heat-affected zone. This preserves material properties and is critical for aerospace and composite applications.
Can the system be integrated into an automated production line?
Yes, it can be linked with automatic feeding platforms, robot grabbing systems, abrasive recovery systems, and dust removal systems. It supports single/double shift production and optional 24/7 continuous operation.
What configurations are available for the YCWJ-Robot?
Available configurations include auto abrasive delivery, auto-cycle water cooling, auto sewage removal, cutting head with drilling function, multiple cutting heads, air cooled chiller, and auto water softening system.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
MOQ is 1 set. Payment is 30% T/T deposit after contract signing, and 70% T/T before delivery. Delivery can be negotiated under EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, CIP, DDP, and other incoterms. Acceptance includes ex-factory test.
Is the machine certified?
Yes, YC Waterjet holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (certificate no. 17324Q21401R0S) for R&D and manufacture of ultra high pressure waterjet cutting machines.
