Processing Capabilities
Waterjet Processing
Waterjet Cutting is a great alternative to traditional Plate Processing. Use waterjet for cutting jigs, mechanical parts or customized tooling. Waterjet cutting eliminates the need for drilling and punching and is perfect for cutting Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Alloys, Copper, Brass, Bronze and even Plastics.
Advantages:
No heat affected zones
No mechanical stress
Allows for more accurate cutting
Produces a near finished part
No problems with reflective materials
Thicker cutting without distortion
Reduces or eliminates secondary machining operations
Cost savings through greater material utilization and better control of your job
Alro Steel has a fully integrated CAD department and accepts files in .dxf, .dwg, .iges and PDF format. Hand Sketches are also welcome.
