Cost analysis of water jet cutting

The first thing to understand is that the use cost of water knives mainly includes two aspects, one is the equipment input cost, and the other is the daily operation cost. The equipment input cost mainly refers to the purchase and maintenance cost of water jet equipment itself, and the daily operation cost mainly includes the consumption of energy such as water, electricity and gas and the purchase of consumables.

From the perspective of equipment investment, the price of water jet equipment is higher than that of traditional processing equipment, but in contrast, the return on investment of water jet equipment is also higher. Traditional processing equipment needs to buy a large number of tools in advance, while water knives only need to start cutting directly from CAD design documents without additional tool costs. Moreover, although the investment cost of water jet equipment is high, it has long service life and high reliability, so the use cost of water jet equipment will be lower in the long-term investment.

From the daily operation, water jet is more energy-saving than traditional processing equipment. Traditional machining consumes a lot of energy, with obvious noise and pollution, but only water is used as cutting medium in the process of water jet cutting, which consumes less energy and will not pollute the environment. In addition, compared with traditional mechanical processing equipment, water jet is more accurate in processing materials, which can effectively reduce the waste of materials and reduce the material loss and cost of subsequent processing.

In short, on the whole, the use cost of water knives is not high, or even relatively low. Although the initial investment of water jet equipment is relatively large, the running cost in daily operation is far lower than that of traditional processing equipment. Moreover, water jet is widely used in the field of cutting processing, which has not only been vigorously promoted in traditional industries, but also has a very broad application prospect in the field of cutting emerging materials and has a very good market potential.

Hao Ru reminds everyone to pay attention to two points:

1, water knives must be purchased from regular manufacturers.

2, water knife equipment, water knife maintenance, replacement of accessories, water knife transformation must find a professional water knife technology company, you can always ask us for help.
