Extensive Water Jet Cutting Capabilities
Our new CNC abrasive water jet cutting machine with 55,000 PSI offers the following:- No restrictions as to the materials we can cut
- Capability to work with a thickness up to 1 ¼"
- Minimum hole size of .062"
- +/- .005" tolerance achievable
- Table size of 4' x 8' provides large work area
- Take note that there are no heat related areas
Benefits of Water Jet Services
The benefits of choosing abrasive water jet cutting technology are vast, which is why so many customers have sub-contracted SKL for this cost-saving technique. As not only is it more economical and efficient than making a major capital investment in an AWJ machine, but you can also guarantee confirmation of desired results with regard to tolerances and finishes.Key benefits of water jet cutting technology include:
- Minimal fixturing costs due to lower forces on part production
- Cost-savings due to better nesting capability on work pieces
- Elimination of heat affected zones which results in a reduction and/or elimination of secondary finishing operations
- Reduced kerf and burring resulting in closer positioning, cost saving in material selection, particularly with Titanium, Hastelloy® and Inconel® alloys
- Ability to process frail parts or work pieces with long length and width ratios
- Easy recycling of clean slugs, as opposed to messy coolant-soaked chips.
