Waterjet Cutting
Our continued investment in the latest technology ensures that we remain at the cutting edge of the industry. Our fabrication department utilises one of the most up-to-date waterjet cutting systems in the UK and allows our customers to benefit from the many advantages that waterjet cutting provides. We offer waterjet cutting as a specialised sub-contract service, or as part of our turnkey fabrication service.
It is a flexible process of cutting virtually any materials with consistent high quality.
The capability to cut intricate shapes utilising cold cutting techniques that are without thermal influences, heat distortion, edge hardening or heat effected zones of virtually any materials.
Cutting Capacity : 4000mm x 2000mm x 200mm thickness
We can allow for tight nesting and reduced scrap - saving you money through greater material utilization.
The benefits of waterjet profile cutting:
- No heat-affected zone, distortion or mechanical stresses
- Quick set up times - express service available
- Automatic engraving option
- No restriction on cutting polished or reflective materials
- Reduces or eliminates secondary cleaning operations
- No tool costs
- Intricate designs are easily created with very high accuracy
- All machining undertaken within a single set up
- Material-saving production due to reduced cutting width and tight nesting
Providing cutting services for many different industrial sectors including precision engineering, shipbuilding, automobile and automobile supplies industries, aircraft and spacecraft industries, M.O.D. & defence, construction and interior decoration industries amongst others.
