Customer problems:

Jiangyin Copper Industry is a manufacturing enterprise for copper alloy and other metal processing. They used to use mainly copper plate stamping process.Copper plate stamping will lead to deformation of the material; The die used in the stamping process of copper plate is very special. Sometimes a complex part needs several sets of die. Die manufacturing has veryhigh technical and precision requirements. For the case of small batch and more varieties, the advantages of stamping processing disappear. Laser cutting of copper plate tends to damage the internal lens of the laser. while CNC machining and wire EDM cutting are too slow.

Solutions:

The five axis precision waterjet machine designed and manufactured byLionstek has completely independent intellectual property rights. It adopts self-proprietary five-axis control system, and is equipped with USMART® CNC software developed specially for waterjet cutting.  Waterjet cutting equipment which can only be used for rough machining has finally entered the field of precision machine parts processing. The X, Y and Z axes of Lionstek’s five-axis smart waterjet machine are driven by imported servo motors and precisionly ground ball screws. The cutting precision is within 0.1mm. The cutting speed is more than 10 times faster than wire EDM cutting. There is no thermal damage. The cutsurface is smooth, clean, neat and without molten slag. In addition, it is equipped with underwater cutting function, leading to noise and dust reduction for a more comfortable working environment.

Winning factors:

Waterjet cutting offers advantages such as no thermal damage, no shearing deformation, high efficiency as well aslow cost for cutting copper plate, and no need for special fixture.  Lionstek waterjet machines feature intelligent compensation function for taper and other geometrical errors, high precision, easy programming, easy for multiple reproduction, lower cost of parts processing, suitable for small batch, multi-variety parts precision cutting,

Values for the customer:
