Italian Watajet Enhances Micro Waterjet Cutting Quality Control with Mitutoyo Measuring Instruments
Favorite

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Watajet, located near Milan, Italy, has established a significant presence in the European manufacturing sector with its advanced micro waterjet cutting technology. This cold-cutting process utilizes an ultra-fine waterjet with a diameter of just 0.2 mm, enabling the machining of titanium alloys, ceramics, and multi-layer composite materials without generating a heat-affected zone. Consequently, it is widely used in demanding fields such as aerospace and biomedical applications. To match this extreme machining precision, Watajet recently fully integrated Mitutoyo's Quick Vision Apex 3D CNC vision measuring system, revolutionizing its quality assurance process.

The core advantage of the Quick Vision Apex lies in its integration of three measurement technologies into a single system: a high-resolution optical system for capturing 2D micro-profiles, a contact probe for handling 3D and cylindrical elements, and a high-precision laser dedicated to rapid contour and height measurement. For Watajet, this integrated solution eliminated the cost of purchasing three separate machines. By pre-setting fully programmable measurement cycles similar to CNC machining, the measuring system can operate continuously for hours unattended, automatically generating well-structured quality reports. This not only ensures 100% dimensional inspection coverage but also provides complete traceability for all quality data.

Leveraging this automated platform, Watajet has successfully overcome previously difficult-to-implement testing bottlenecks, such as the precise measurement of deep micro-holes in hard materials and complex three-dimensional contours. This highly efficient automated inspection mode allows Watajet to handle large-volume orders with extremely short lead times, while enabling the technical team to focus more energy on high-value-added cutting process innovation. Through the deep integration of micro waterjet cutting technology with Mitutoyo's precision metrology, Watajet has not only improved production efficiency but has also set a reliable quality benchmark in highly regulated industries where errors are not an option.
