A chuck is used to rotate a pipe on the traditional CNC waterjet cutting table. This type of waterjet cutting is
usually for small diameter pipes.
|
With the CNC control, the combination of chuck rotation
and the linear axis on the CNC table enables the cutting of
various geometry on the wall of pipe.
|
A chuck is used to rotate a pipe on the side of a traditional CNC waterjet cutting gantry table. This type of pipe cutting
enables cutting of larger size of pipes. Pipe is often placed on rollers.
|
With the help of CNC programming, waterjet can cut
and prepare pipes for various types of intersecting branches.

A stand alone chuck rotates a pipe with waterjet cutting.
The picture above shows waterjet cutting on
mild steel
cement lined pipe (MSCL)
|
Waterjet cuts MSCL pipe in fish mouth shape and with
taper for strong welding.

A stand alone chuck rotates a round pipe with waterjet cutting.
|
A stand alone chuck rotates a rectangular pipe with waterjet cutting.
|
For large sized pipes, rollers are used to rotate the pipe and
special cantilever is constructed for waterjet cutting.
|
Waterjet with cantilever arm cuts large pipe for miter pipe elbow connections.
|
Waterjet with cantilever arm cuts large pipe from outside.
|
Waterjet with cantilever arm cuts large pipe from inside to avoid damage to the inner wall.
|
Portable waterjet are often used to cut pipes that are already connected in the fields. This portable CNC waterjet
can cut off pipes and open holes in the pipe wall for branch connections.
|
In some cases, pipes must be cut from inside. This portable
waterjet cuts pipe from inside.
