Waterjet Cutting
Omax 80160 Waterjet
The abrasive waterjet is an excellent alternative to laser, flame, plasma cutting and in some cases wire EDM. If the tolerance is ± .003" or greater waterjet machining can work for you. Lower overall costs of waterjet cutting are achieved by faster production rates and optimal part positioning and nesting to reduce material waste and part handling.
No distortion and no stresses are imparted to the material while producing a superior edge quality with virtually no burr. Abrasive water jet cutting uses no heat, the molecular structure of the material remains unaltered. This makes waterjet cutting the optimal process.
