How Does the G3020 3-Axis Water Jet Cutting Machine Work?
The G3020 3-axis water jet cutting machine operates by using a high-pressure pump to produce an ultra-high-pressure stream of water. This water stream is directed through a cutting head, where it is mixed with abrasive particles (such as garnet) to create a high-speed abrasive water jet. The cutting head moves precisely along the X, Y, and Z axes, guided by a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system.
The CNC system processes cutting path data, allowing it to control the movement and speed of the cutting head with great accuracy. This precision enables the machine to cut complex shapes and curves on various materials, achieving high-quality results. Whether cutting metal, stone, glass, or composites, the G3020 offers versatile and precise cutting capabilities for a wide range of applications.
Main Components of a 3-Axis Water Jet Cutting Machine
The 3-axis water jet cutting machine consists of several key components that work together to deliver precise and efficient cutting. Here’s a breakdown of its main components:
1. High-Pressure Water Pump (Ultra-High-Pressure Water Jet Generator) : This serves as the power source for the water jet. The high-pressure pump uses a hydraulic motor to drive an intensifier, which pressurizes water up to 420 MPa (around 60,000 psi). This ultra-high-pressure water flow is essential for cutting through various materials.
2. Cutting Table : The cutting table is where the actual cutting operations take place. It provides a stable platform for positioning the workpieces. Equipped with rolling linear guides and ball screws, the table ensures high precision during cutting by serving as the machine’s transmission mechanism.
3. Cutting Head : The cutting head is the critical component responsible for performing the cutting task. It combines the high-pressure water flow with abrasive particles (such as garnet) to create a high-speed abrasive water jet, which is then sprayed onto the material for cutting.
4. CNC Control System : The CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system is responsible for managing the cutting process. It controls the movement path and cutting parameters of the water jet. By precisely coordinating the X, Y, and Z axes, the CNC system ensures accurate cutting along straight lines and complex curves, driven by control motors for precise three-axis linkage.
5. Abrasive Supply System : This system feeds abrasives to the cutting head. Abrasives like garnet are mixed with the high-pressure water to enhance its cutting power. The abrasive supply system handles processes like sand removal, delivery, metering, and mixing to provide a continuous and uniform flow of abrasive particles, ensuring efficient cutting performance.
These components work in unison to deliver high-precision cutting on a wide range of materials, making the 3-axis water jet cutting machine a versatile tool in various industries.

Waterjet Cutting Speed Comparison for Various Materials
Waterjet cutting speed depends on material properties (hardness, toughness), thickness, machine settings (pressure, flow rate, nozzle type), and cutting conditions (water quality, nozzle wear). Metals generally cut slower than with other tools but offer higher accuracy. Thin metals like aluminum, copper, or brass cut faster, while thick steel or aluminum reduces speed. For non-metals like stone or ceramics, speed depends on hardness and texture; harder or more brittle materials cut slower. Optimizing parameters based on material and task ensures the best results. Below is a reference chart based on our experience; actual speeds may vary.
