Water Jet Cutting

Complex profiles that are difficult to cut using conventional cutting processes are cut easily and economically through our water jet cutting services. Virtually, any kind of material like granite, plastics, glass, sheet rubber, graphite composites, friction materials, laminates, ferrous and non ferrous metals are cut effectively by us. Our experience in water jet cutting has enabled us to handle continuous processes in short turnaround times with ease.

  • The cutting process is initiated by forcing high pressure water through a tiny orifice which results in the concentration of high energies into a tiny area, finally causing the cut
  • Complex shapes and designs, reflective and non reflective materials are cut perfectly without any burrs, roughness or compressed edges
  • As no heat is generated in water jet cutting process, metal properties do not get altered during cutting
  • Softer materials are subjected to direct water jet cutting using high pressure water whereas harder materials like titanium, glass, steel, ceramics, etc use a variety of abrasives along with high pressure water
  • Greater accuracy, high edge quality, minimal fixture requirements, elimination of thermal distortion, and exclusion of mechanically induced stresses are some of the advantages of our water jet cutting process
  • Our computer controlled water jet cutting process is environment friendly as no hazardous wastes are generated
