The TextureJet Process
What is Electrochemical
Jet Machining technology?
Electrochemical Jet Machining (ECJM) is a precise adaptation of the more traditional Electrochemical Machining which can be used on any conductive material. The electrolyte is delivered via a nozzle to the workpiece. An electrical charge is passed between them, causing a controlled amount of material to be removed from the workpiece surface. The removed material is dissolved in the electrolyte, washed away, filtered, and the electrolyte is recycled through the process.
Key Benefits of ECJM
High precision without masking
Ability to machine complex shapes with high precision without the need for masking saving processing time, costs, and waste.
Suitable for hard-to-machine materials
Suitability for hard-to-machine materials regardless of their hardness or toughness.
High Quality finish
Excellent surface finish with no microcracks, deformation or residual stress.
Unique environmental, health & safety features
The TextureJet solution uses no dangerous chemicals, only recycled, pH neutral salt-based electrolytes. Power requirements are very low with less than 1Kwh usage during processing. With very low noise levels (less than 69db), no vibration or forces being applied, and no dust or swarf being created, it is very operator friendly and has no special PPE, dust or fume extraction requirements.
