What is suitable for cutting slate?
Waterjet cutting technology is the ideal choice for cutting slate. This process uses a high-pressure water jet, often together with an abrasive material, to create precise cuts without thermally stressing the material. This is particularly important when cutting slate, as it is a brittle and layered material that can be easily damaged by high temperatures. The water jet cuts at a microscopic level, prevents cracks and ensures a smooth cut surface.
In addition, the waterjet in slate cutting allows complex shapes and patterns to be processed, which is an advantage when designing slate tiles or other slate products. At Eckert Cutting, we offer high-quality waterjet cutting machines that reliably deliver precise results. We also support our customers with comprehensive training programs to ensure the optimal use and maintenance of cutting technology.
