Today, a passion for engineering, high performance and innovation is still the motivating force behind the Company and all its staff. It is in this context that LDSA has developed and has become a manufacturer of complete digitally controlled systems with up to 9 simultaneous axes. It is widely recognised in its field and is present in all business sectors. Partnership with companies recognized as leaders in the manufacturing of machine tools makes it possible for LDSA to develop common agendas with them, thus facilitating a better quality/price ratio for its present and future customers. How water jet technology works A concentrated, fine, extremely powerful jet. Water is compressed by means of a specialised pump which can create a pressure of more than 4,100 bars, and then, as the water passes through a tube provided with an extremely small and accurately calibred hole, the water is accelerated until it reaches 2 or 3 times the speed of sound. The energy stored by the water molecules can be used to cut almost any material. Using additives such as polymers or abrasives makes it possible to cut up to 300 mm for soft materials, 200 mm for hard materials, and 100 mm for extremely hard materials. Benefits of water jet technology Low water use Cheap materials Optimal savings and profitability Optimisation of wastage and raw materials Precision cutting and outstanding cleanliness Multi-head cutting increases productivity Any materials can be cut, including mixed materials Cold cutting does not effect the molecular structure of the material being cut
