Overview
The Waterjet Sweden P5 is a high-precision waterjet cutting system from Swedish manufacturer Waterjet Sweden AB, engineered for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, and precision component manufacturing. The P5 is built around a granite base for exceptional thermal stability and vibration damping, with linear motors on the primary axes providing dynamic, frictionless motion. Waterjet Sweden equips the P5 with their FlexJet 3D cutting head for 5-axis cutting capability, enabling bevel and taper-free contour cutting. The machine is available in table sizes from 2x1.5m to 4x2m. The Siemens 840D sl CNC with Waterjet Sweden's proprietary WaterJet cutting software manages kerf compensation, 5-axis kinematics, and abrasive flow control. The P5 is often specified in aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities and precision contract shops cutting titanium and Inconel components.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Granite has 10x lower thermal expansion than cast iron and naturally damps vibration due to its crystalline structure. For precision waterjet cutting where ±0.02mm accuracy is required on expensive aerospace materials, the granite base ensures the machine maintains its geometric accuracy regardless of ambient temperature fluctuations or cutting-induced vibrations.
