INTEGRAL Gantry Type-L Series CNC Water-Jet Cutting Machine – High-Precision Aerospace & Automotive Cutting

The INTEGRAL Gantry Type-L Series CNC Water-Jet Cutting Machine is engineered for industries demanding extreme precision and material integrity, particularly aerospace and automotive manufacturing. Its integral gantry design ensures superior structural rigidity, reducing vibration and maintaining cutting accuracy over extended production runs.

This machine utilizes ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water-jet streams, optionally combined with abrasive particles, to cut metals, composites, and advanced alloys without generating heat-affected zones (HAZ). This cold-cutting process preserves the metallurgical properties of aerospace-grade titanium, aluminum alloys, and automotive stainless steel, making it ideal for precision-critical parts.

Structural Advantages of the Integral Gantry Design

The machine’s integral gantry frame is machined from a single high-strength steel casting, providing excellent resistance to thermal deformation and mechanical stress. This ensures cutting tolerances within ±0.05 mm even when processing large-format sheets up to 3,000 mm in width. The linear guideways and precision ball screws are directly mounted on the gantry beam, guaranteeing synchronized motion and reducing cumulative error across the cutting area.

Advanced CNC Motion Control

Equipped with a high-speed CNC controller featuring adaptive feed rate adjustment, the Type-L Series automatically optimizes cutting speed based on material thickness and hardness. Dynamic path compensation algorithms prevent deviation on complex geometries, ensuring consistent edge quality across all profiles. The system supports multi-head cutting configurations, significantly improving throughput for repetitive automotive panel production.

Precision Cutting for Aerospace and Automotive Components

In aerospace applications, the machine is used for cutting titanium bulkheads, wing ribs, and engine nacelle panels where heat distortion cannot be tolerated. In the automotive sector, it excels at shaping stainless steel exhaust components, aluminum chassis panels, and high-strength steel reinforcements, all while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface integrity.

Multi-Material Capability without Thermal Damage

The water-jet process eliminates the microcracking and hardness variations typically seen with thermal cutting methods such as plasma or laser. This is critical for aerospace components, where any structural compromise can lead to catastrophic failure. The machine can also cut carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) without delamination, which is particularly valuable for lightweight automotive body parts.

Energy Efficiency and Maintenance Optimization

The integral design reduces the number of mechanical joints, minimizing wear and maintenance requirements. The high-pressure pump is equipped with energy recovery technology, lowering operating costs by up to 15%. An intelligent lubrication system ensures optimal performance of guide rails and screws, extending service life.
