Sharp Corners | Holes | Complex Shapes | Fast Turnaround
Why Consider Abrasive Waterjet Technologies?
- Simple and rapid programming and set-up time with minimal fixturing.
- One cutting tool performs all machining functions in all materials.
- Material yield is optimized by utilizing nesting features and a kerf of 0.030.
- There are no mechanical stresses induced during cutting.
- Wide ranges of conventional processes are performed with this single tool:
- Drilling
- Sawing
- Gear cutting
- Profile milling
- Slitting
- Blanking
- Punching
- No special tooling required for unusual shapes or profiles; omni-directional cutting permits complex shapes.
- Able to machine a wide range of thickness and materials, including reflective, conductive and thicker materials such as stainless steel and aluminum, copper and brass.
- Works well in non-conductive materials such as glass, stone and plastic.
- Can machine, hardened metals and materials with low melting points.
- Can produce parts up to 2" thick in virtually any material while holding tolerances on the order of ±0.003" to ±0.005.
- The process uses garnet as an abrasive. Garnet is a reddish natural crystal, with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7.5. No noxious gases or liquids are used in Abrasive Waterjet machining, nor are there any oils used in the machining process.
- Materials cut by the Abrasive Waterjet have a smooth, satin-like finish, like a fine sandblasted finish.
- Abrasive Waterjets abrades material at room temperatures, providing a smooth uniform surface.
- The Abrasive Waterjet process produces minimal to no burrs and parts can often be used directly without deburring.
