Abrasive Waterjet

Our Waterjet Department

We only run OMAX abrasive waterjets. We have researched many manufacturers, and had test parts cut on various machines. OMAX was the only brand that could cut accurate parts the first time on a wide variety of material. It also has the most accurate cut model, which allows it to cut faster and more accurately than any other machine no matter what contours are required.

We currently have a 2′ x 4′ machine and a 4′ x 8′ machine with taper compensation and a terrain follower. The terrain follower allows us to maintain a constant distance between the tip of the mixing tube and the material, even if the material is not perfectly flat. It helps protect the machine, and the material, while increasing the accuracy of the taper compensation. We generally use a .030”(.76mm) mixing tube, which offers a good balance between speed and detail. We also have .040”(1.02mm) mixing tubes to cut thicker materials faster, as well as .020”(.51mm) mixing tubes for fine detail on small parts.
