Wide Range of Materials – We can machine a wide range of thickness and materials such as hardened stainless steel, Inconel, hastalloy, ceramics, glass, stone, and marble to soft materials such as rubber, foam, composites, laminates and plastics. Minimal Deburring - Edge finishing of waterjet machined parts have a smooth sandblasted finish with no rough edges, slag, burrs or jagged edges. The as-cut edge finish for abrasive water-jet is ideal for metals that require secondary welding operations. No Thermal Distortion - Unlike other cutting techniques, heat is not generated during water jet machining. As a result, abrasive waterjet is ideal for metals that are deformed by heat such as titanium and low melting point materials such as plastic and rubber. Complex Shapes - Ideal for cutting complex 2-dimensional shapes and some 3D shapes using our 3-axis head. Small diameter holes are also possible. No tool changing - A wide range of conventional processes can be performed with this single tool allowing us to provide rapid delivery to our clients: |

Why use Waterjet |
|
Abrasive Water Jet vs. Milling Rapid clean-up, faster and easier programming; ability to machine a wider range of materials ranging from brittle hard materials to soft, 'gummy' materials; no tool change-out. Abrasive Water Jet vs. EDM Much faster and therefore less expensive machining; process non-electrically conductive materials such as plastics, glass, ceramics, and stone; does not require pre-drilling pilot holes; no heat-effected zone; capable of processing larger parts. Abrasive Water Jet vs. Lasers Abrasive jets do not cause thermal distortion or require post cutting heat treating; lower capital equipment cost reducing machining price; ability to process reflective materials; no scale on edges reducing clean-up cost; no potentially dangerous fumes are generated using abrasive waterjets; ability to cut thicker materials. Abrasive Water Jet vs. Plasma or Flame - No thermal distortion or heat effected zone; no scale on edges reducing clean-up cost; cut wider range of materials including plastics, foams, and rubber. |
