WATERJET

..............................................................................................................

We us a MAXIEM 1530 waterjet cutting machine.

This abrasivejet system cuts complex flat parts out of most materials. Waterjet applications include metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, stone and composites. They are cut directly from a CAD or DXF file. Extremely hard, reflective and non-conductive materials can also be cut, making our water cutting technology a valuable addition to existing shop capabilities. Parts are cut directly from plate with a single tool dramatically reducing setup time and material usage.

Water Cutting Machine Dimensions

Footprint 164" x 98" (4,166 mm x 2,489 mm)
Table Size 151" x 69" (3,835 mm x 1,752 mm)
X-Y Cutting Travel 122" x 62" (3,100 mm x 1,575 mm)

ADVANTAGES OF USING WATERJET

Waterjet cutting can eliminate many standard machining processes resulting in reduced cycle times, increased throughput and lower parts costs.
Saves money by eliminating secondary operations.
Small kerf(.030") will improve material utilization.
No heat-affected zones or structural changes. Finishing if necessary will remove the base material instead of hard heat-affected material.
Ease of setup can accommodate small or large quantities.
OMAX directional shapecutting will allow tight angles and sharp corners.
Waterjet Cutting often eliminates the need for deburring depending on the type of material.
