Abrasive Waterjet Cutting technology is a unique computer controlled process
that enables the cutting of virtually any sheet material in any shape
consistently, precisely and economically.
Abrasive Waterjet Cutting technology is one of the fastest growing major machine
tool processes in the world due to its versatility and ease of operation.
The cutting power of our Abrasive Waterjet comes from combining a garnet
abrasive and water, pressurizing it to pressures of up to 45,000 psi, and
releasing it through a sapphire jewel. The mixture of water and abrasive
comes out of the focusing nozzle at 2.5 times the speed of sound. The high
pressure stream pierces materials up to 8 inches thick, leaving a 0.032 to
0.062-inch kerf.
Waterjet offers a multitude of advantages to other cutting technologies
like laser, plasma, and flame cutting; as the Waterjet cuts with a stream
of water it produces a product with a cleaner edge, burr-free edge with no
heat affected zone. We are architectural abrasive Waterjet cutting experts
with metal, stone, glass, composites and other materials. And our CAD/CAM
system interfaces with your software.
