Experience waterjet technology for Defense Industry at Elmia Production Fairs 2026

The method, based on a high-pressure stream of water—often enhanced with abrasive media—offers a flexible and cold cutting process. This means that the material’s properties remain unchanged, which is particularly important in advanced applications. 

In the production of armored vehicles, the technology enables precise cutting of thick steel plates without compromising protection against projectiles and shrapnel. At the same time, it plays a key role in manufacturing components for applications such as drones, fighter aircraft, and satellite systems, where sensitive materials like composites and alloys must be processed without the risk of delamination or microcracks.

Waterjet cutting also provides clear advantages in the development of advanced weapon systems. From control systems to sensors and other precision components, the absence of heat and sparks minimizes the risk of damage to both materials and surrounding parts.

Another strength is the versatility of the technology. The same machine system can cut everything from metals to composites and plastics without extensive tool changes. This makes it particularly attractive for production environments with short runs and rapid changeovers.

During the exhibition days in Jönköping, visitors will have the opportunity to meet our waterjet cutting specialists and discuss how the technology can be applied in both new and existing production flows—whether the focus is on evaluating new materials or optimizing current processes.
