Dicing microelectronic wafers and machining piezoelectric materials without risk of electrical shorts between layers.
Unlike lasers, AWJ is a non-thermal process. It eliminates heat-affected zones (HAZ), preventing thermal distortion or changes in the material's properties. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
The small jet size allows for omnidirectional cutting and intricate patterns with radii as small as 0.1 mm. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
Milling can be done with the workpiece submerged in water to reduce noise and contain debris. Submerged machining often results in narrower channels due to the surrounding fluid affecting the jet's expansion. MICRO-CHANNEL MILLING USING ABRASIVE WATERJETS ...
