Waterjet Overview
Although waterjet cutters can be slower and noisier than their laser counterparts, they do have some notable advantages.
Firstly, waterjets can cut through almost any material, including metal, marble and granite, and can be used on much thicker composites than lasers. Secondly, there are no heat-affected zones with waterjets, making them the preferred choice in industries such as automotive, robotics, mining, construction, electronics and aerospace.
For those manufacturers looking for an advanced yet flexible cutting solution, abrasive waterjet technology is definitely one of the most innovative cutting technologies on offer.
MBA is proud to partner with Kimla, one of the industry leaders in cutting technology. Their waterjets have a higher than average operating speed, are compact in design and can be customised to your exact needs. They also use high-quality, competitively priced parts, keeping maintenance costs lower.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a waterjet cutter right for you?
Waterjet cutters are lower in price than fibre laser machinery, although running costs can be higher. But, if you work with sensitive materials or many different composites, a waterjet may be a more suitable solution than laser technology.
Waterjet cutters can cut through any material from foam to leather to metal to granite, making them extremely flexible. They are often found in the aerospace industry, but have many other applications too – manufacturing, construction, machining shops, textile, food and beverage and even jewellers.
Precision cutting technology makes them extremely accurate, improving the consistency and quality of products. Kimla waterjets can be customised to your requirements, are compact in design and are easy to operate.
MBA is everything you would expect of a company run by a person such as Bradley and I have no hesitation in recommending him, MBA and the Kimla product to similar users.
