Waterjet cutting
HORN, a leading company in manufacturing technology, has made it its mission to master CNC waterjet cutting technology in both 2D and 3D applications. This technology opens up a world of precise possibilities, whether through significant reductions in mechanical post-processing or even the complete elimination of such processes. At the same time, the invaluable advantage of the absence of any thermal influences is preserved, effectively ruling out deformation or surface hardening.
HORN’s innovative strength is expressed in two main cutting variants: cutting using a pure waterjet or by adding an additive, known as an abrasive. This abrasive material, usually in the form of hard powder such as sand, opens up new possibilities. The pure waterjet is preferred for softer materials, while the abrasive proves its strength with robust materials.
A notable advantage of HORN’s waterjet cutting is the narrow kerf of just 0.8–1 mm, even with substantial material thicknesses. This process generates a waterjet at a pressure of 4,000 to 6,000 bar, with an exit velocity reaching a staggering 1,000 m/s. Remarkably, this groundbreaking technology can be used for material thicknesses ranging from 0.05 mm to an impressive 150 mm. A true masterpiece of precision
The dimensions achieved by HORN are truly impressive. With a maximum working area of 3050 x 3050 x 730 mm, workpieces are produced that redefine the limits of what is possible. The range of materials that can be processed is virtually limitless:
HORN's expertise extends not only to standard materials but also to specialized materials such as composites, including the demanding glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) and the lightweight carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). Even components with applied or coated hardness present no challenge. The precise halving or trimming of turned parts, tubes, and profiles is just as much a part of our exceptional capabilities as the expert finishing of assemblies. Cutouts based on technical drawings are manufactured with impressive precision, whether for tubes, Klöpper heads, or complex welded structures.
HORN’s manufacturing versatility is also on full display when it comes to material selection: the repertoire ranges from plastics, seals, rubber, and Teflon to a wide variety of wood types and wood composite materials. Even natural and artificial stone, tiles, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, stainless steel, titanium, and steel are effortlessly mastered by this masterful technology. HORN not only shapes the materials but also gives them character—a true expert in the world of waterjet cutting.
