Waterjet Advantages

time2012/02/05

Water cutting offers you several advantages over alternate forms of cutting. It gives Increased flexibility, with no limit of cutting thickness along with not having a heat affected zone. Set up times are fast, maintenance is easy and all of this at low costs.
Quality– Making the right Cut
One of the biggest advantages is waterjet's inherent cold cutting quality. This allows materials to be cut that would be burned, melted, or cracked by other cutting methods. Some thermal processes cause surface hardening, warping and emission of hazardous gasses. In contrast, materials cut with waterjet undergo no thermal stress, eliminating such undesirable results.
Flexibility – Keeping the costs down
As an equipment supplier we can quickly put together production rigs, often utilising multiple cutting heads, that will reduce the overall time and cost to deliver your product.
Setting a job up for cutting requires minimal fixing and there are no tools to set up or change in between jobs. This means set-up costs can be reduced by as much as 50% compared to alternative cutting processes.
The complete unit is controlled by CAD/CAM computer systems, which accepts many different kinds of input including DXF,DWG. Alternatively these can be quickly generated from engineering drawings, sketches and tracings.
Capability – What you need when you need it
We can cut almost any materials into simple or complex designs and shapes with rapid turnaround for companies with strict deadlines. · We can cut through hardened, reflective and non-conducting materials and there is no limit to the thickness of material that we can cut.
Producing product to extremely tight tolerances for engineers, fabricators, designers, architects and sign makers alike. In addition, because waterjet cutting produces a smooth “finished” edge, there is no warping, cracking, delamination or heat related metallurgical changes that are associated with other cutting technologies, the need for secondary finishing is minimised and often removed, allowing further savings to be made by our clients.
Experience- Knowing how to get it right
With over 10 years experience of waterjet cutting, we offer a versatile and economical cutting service that is second to none.
We have worked for a wide variety of different clients and with an array of different metals from titanium products for aerospace, military, medical and petrochemical industries to metal products for engineering, stone and construction and glass industries.
