High precision waterjet cutting garnet for German military university

The Helmut-Schmidt University in Hamburg, Germany has been educating and preparing specialists and executives for country’s future generation of armed forces for over 40 years.

On top of academic studies, the university is focussed on scientific work and forward looking research in the areas of mechanical and electrical engineering, particularly in automotive and telecommunication engineering.

The ongoing research work involves the use of a waterjet cutting machine by FLOW due to its versatility in cutting almost any material and in various thickness. In fact, cutting through a material thickness of 200mm can be easily achieved.

The quality of the cut is important to the research team. That’s why, the team has been relying on GMA ClassicCut™ 80 – the finest quality garnet to not only produce high precision cutting, but for faster cutting with minimal downtime.
