Point of the Proposed Technology
・Using water jet, instead of conventional machine processing and laser processing, can ensure contactless and high density and can help minimizing deformation and strain of the workpiece.
Effect(s)
・Prolongs tool life
・Improves precision of processed surface
・Improves precision of processed surface
Conventional Technology
Example of application to CFRP
Laser cutting:
・There are resin parts and fiber parts in CFRP. Using laser in cutting CFRP caused dissolution only in the resin parts, which made cutting difficult.
Cutting with metal tool:
・ In processing composite materials such as CFRP, it is difficult to process fibers, leading to shorter tool life. In addition, when worn-out tool is used for processing, cutting face of the work piece becomes deteriorated.

New Technology
Example of application to CFRP
Water jet:
・ Water jet does not cause resin dissolution by the heat and it can make stable surface.
・ As per contactless and high density processing, minimum deformation and strain on the workpiece is enabled. Owing to cutting with an aqueous medium, dust scattering can be prevented.
