Why Waterjet Cutting Is Ideal for Copper
Copper presents challenges for traditional cutting methods. Laser and plasma cutting introduce heat, which can lead to oxidation, distortion, and changes in material performance.
Waterjet cutting eliminates these issues by using a cold cutting process.
- No heat-affected zone (HAZ)
- No oxidation or edge burning
- No warping or distortion
- Maintains electrical conductivity and material integrity
If your application is sensitive to heat, learn more about heat affected zones and how they impact materials.
Copper Busbars & Electrical Applications
One of the most common applications we support is copper busbars for power distribution and energy systems.
We supply precision-cut busbars for:
- Battery storage systems
- Switchboards and power distribution
- Industrial machinery and furnaces
- Motorsport and high-performance electrical systems
We’ve also supplied copper components for projects such as the Monash FSAE race cars, where accuracy and reliability are critical.
Precision Cutting for Complex Copper Parts
Waterjet cutting allows us to produce intricate copper parts that are difficult to achieve with other methods.
- Small holes and tight internal radii
- Slots and detailed profiles
- Consistent repeatability for batch production
- No tooling required for custom designs
This makes waterjet cutting ideal for both prototyping and production work.
Copper Thickness & Capability
We can cut a wide range of copper thicknesses depending on your application.
On our Omax waterjet machine, we can accommodate copper up to 200mm thick, covering everything from thin precision parts to heavy-duty industrial components.
If you have a specific requirement, we can advise on the best approach and run test cuts if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will copper deform during waterjet cutting?
No. Because waterjet cutting introduces no heat, there is no warping or distortion. A small burr may be present on the bottom edge, which can be easily removed.
Can you cut detailed copper components?
Yes. Waterjet cutting is ideal for intricate shapes, tight tolerances, and small features in copper parts.
What thickness of copper can you cut?
We can cut a wide range of thicknesses, including very thick copper up to 200mm depending on the application.
