Waterjet cutting makes use of highly pressurized and extremely thin jets of water to cut through any material, including the hardest superalloys. This high-precision cutting process is flexible and accurate, achieving tolerances of up to ±.003.” Its multiple capabilities help architects, engineers, production managers, advertising agencies, business owners and the general public to produce efficient and dependable parts and products for any number of purposes, in any number of shapes and sizes.
With more than two decades of experience, Precision Cutting Service in Savannah, GA, is one of the nation’s premier water jet cutting companies. We produce a product for customers from California to New York, Michigan to Texas, and of course here in the southeast. We work with a broad range of materials and use advanced water jet cutting systems to produce precisely cut, smooth parts that can, if applicable, be easily fabricated in-house to produce complex finished products.
For example, one of our customers from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, asked us to produce high-performance rubber cable cleats for the railroad industry. We built a custom jig and then customized our waterjet cutting system to produce the required parts to the customer’s exact specifications—and for considerably less expense than other production methods, such as molding and die cutting.
The benefits of waterjet cutting services are endless and to quickly showcase some of them, we offer the list below.
1. Environmentally Friendly
Waterjet cutting process is both pocket and planet-friendly. It uses water at pressures up to 60,000 psi, sometimes mixed with abrasives, and eliminates the need for cooling oils or lubricants, and, better, produces little to no waste. Our waterjet cutting nozzles are controlled by software that nests the product to be cut efficiently to get the maximum yield out of the material being cut, saving both material waste and time.
2. Precise and Accurate
Waterjet cutting can cut almost any kind of material, including ones that are too fragile, such as certain types of foam, for other cutting methods. Because the cutting nozzles are controlled by the computer (commonly known as CNC—computer numerically controlled), it can also be used to cut exceedingly complex and intricate parts, in some cases as small or smaller than a dime.
Additionally, water jet cut parts do not require post finishing, such as sanding, because every part that is cut is cut with a perfectly smooth edge. Precision, therefore, is not compromised by a ragged cut, or a cut that melts or burns the edges of the material.
- Cold Cutting Process
Because only water with occasional fine abrasives is involved, waterjet cutting is considered a cold cutting process. As a result, it always leaves a smooth cut and never changes the chemical composition of the material being cut, as cutting processes like lasers and saws sometimes do. Warping, melting, and material distortion are never an issue.
- Cost-Effective
Waterjet cutting is fast and consumes less energy than other cutting technologies. Because of the CNC speed and accuracy of the cutting process, material waste, and the costs associated with it, is kept to a minimum. In addition, at Precision Cutting Service, once the cutting is complete, the cut parts are then either packaged or assembled, if necessary, by in-house experts, which eliminates duplicate handling.
- Versatility
Water jet cutting works well for specialized or custom parts, OEM parts, signs, particularly dimensional aluminium signs, other metal parts that need to be assembled into a finished product, industrial gaskets, and floor medallions, to name a few. It reliably and cost-effectively cuts stone, including marble and granite, vinyl composite tile (VCT), porcelain, stainless steel, aluminium, foam, plastic and all sorts of rubber. Indeed, water jet cutting is perfect for just about any material you might need to cut for your application.
Do you need a critical part produced and delivered quick? What about a new attention-grabbing sign for your business? Or a beautiful floor medallion featuring your company’s logo for your office? Do you need proven gaskets for your industry? What about a new metal assembly for your factory?
