Waterjet Cutting
|
|
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 include:
- No heat affected zones
- More accurate cutting in all materials
- Produces a near net finished part
- Thicker cutting with minimal distortion
- Reduces or eliminates secondary machining operations
- Tighter nesting for optimal material utilization
|
Alro can waterjet cut up to 8" thick pieces in a single pass, depending on material.
With a very narrow kerf line, waterjet cutting allows for tighter nesting than other methods.
With a 120" x 240" maximum plate capacity, Alro can handle almost any waterjet cut job.
