The abrasive waterjet a unique process which can cut virtually any flat material. The waterjet pressurizes water to 50,000 psi. An abrasive garnet is then added to the .030" water stream through a mixing tube. The cutting head is mounted to a computer controlled gantry. This allows precision cutting of complex designs from materials up to 6" thick. With this process there is no warping or stressing of the material being cut. This process also eliminates heat affected zones (HAZ) from the material being cut.
We are equipped with a Omax 5100 abrasive waterjet. The cutting head is equipped with Omax's tilt-a-jet which virtually eliminates taper. This setup allows us to achieve a tolerance of plus/minus 0.005 for most parts. The machine is also equipped with a precision optical locater camera. This camera allows us to locate an exact spot on the material ensuring quality and dimensionally correct parts.
