We are pleased to announce our new profiling service; waterjet cutting. Material is cut using pressurised water; with pressures ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 pounds per square inch (PSI). With this intense amount of pressure, it has the capability to cut through greater material thicknesses (up to 200mm). In the steel-cutting process, water is mixed with abrasive garnet which allows material to be cut to a close tolerance.
Our Waterjet cutting service is beneficial for applications which require:
- Tight tolerances
- Square cut edges
- High thicknesses
- No HAZ (Heat Affected Zone- the process requires very little heat)
The waterjet technology offers minimal taper on thick profiles due to its precise cut, allowing for high quality, clean-cut edges. Finally, the process is environmentally friendly; it doesn’t produce any toxic gases or fumes. As a result, this makes waterjet cutting a more sustainable and eco-friendly option.
