Inventions typically change or replace old manufacturing processes. For example, cotton gins and steam powered looms totally transformed the textile manufacturing industry during the industrial revolution. Likewise, computers and mobile phones have transformed the way almost everything in our information age get done.
Waterjet cutting systems fall into the same game-changing category. In short, they make things better, particularly in manufacturing. They are used for rapidly, accurately and inexpensively cutting parts, like gears, cutting products, like gaskets, cutting patterns and letters for signs, cutting medallions for floors and cutting just about anything else one might imagine.
These systems use a precise, computer-controlled stream of high-pressure water, sometimes mixed with fine abrasives, to cut virtually any material. Aluminum, steel, pipe, granite and the numerous varieties of rubber, plastic and composites are among the most common.
Precision Cutting Service is one of the nation’s leading waterjet cutting firms. Founded in 1994, it serves a wide range of industries, including aerospace, transportation, marine, construction, textiles, medical, chemical, agricultural and others.
We work with architects, designers and business owners for high end dimensional and metal signs. For the same group, we produce unique and decorative floor medallions for offices, homes, pools, conference rooms and lobbies, to name a few. We also work with the auto industry to produce after market and OEM components. We work with engineers to create prototypes and contractors to replace or repair broken parts and tools. And we work with chemical and food processing firms to cut the gaskets they need to keep their operations safe and productive. In addition, we work with artists, homeowners, students, executives and others to create all sorts one-off products that enhance their living spaces and/or improve their organizations.
With tolerances of ±.003,” waterjet cutting is incredibly precise, and along with its computer controlled cutting nozzles, components can be nested tightly together for extraordinary savings in material.
Moreover, waterjet Cutting does not damage the material it cuts, nor is sanding, polishing or filing ever required because every cut is perfectly smooth. Other cutting techniques, such as laser and plasma cutting, generate high temperatures that often melt, burn or distort the material being cut. Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of cold water that never generates heat or causes damage.
The sophisticated waterjet cutting systems at Precision Cutting Service can drill holes, split pipe, and can make a wide range of cuts, from the simple to the wildly complex, from somethings as small or smaller than a dimes and as large or larger than a full-size SUV—all in thicknesses up to 6 – 8.”
All of this and more are the reasons why more manufacturing firms turn to Precision Cutting Service for their component and fabrication needs. Our experienced and friendly staff are ready to serve you, too.
