Waterjet

NC Turret Punch Presses for Sheet Metal Fabrication

Discover our waterjet cutting machines, designed to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and provide unmatched precision for your fabrication operations.

Precision waterjet fabrication is an ideal solution for manufacturers who demand exceptional accuracy, material integrity, and versatility. Using a high-pressure jet of water mixed with abrasive media (like garnet), precision waterjets can machine everything from stainless steel and aluminum to composites, glass, and stone — all without generating a heat-affected zone that could distort or weaken the material.

When & Why to Use Precision Waterjet Fabrication

  • Heat-Sensitive Applications: When material preservation is critical — for example, cutting composites, heat-treated metals, or glass — precision waterjets are ideal because they produce no heat-affected zones.
  • Intricate and Complex Geometries: Waterjets excel in jobs requiring fine detail, tight tolerances, or internal cut-outs. Since there’s no need to change tools, they handle complex shapes efficiently.
  • Wide Material Range: From metals to plastics, ceramics to composites, precision waterjets can machine virtually any material.
  • Just-In-Time and High-Mix Production: With intuitive programming (DXF/CAD support) and fast setup, these systems are perfect for prototyping, short-run manufacturing, and flexible production workflows.
  • Quality and Surface Finish: Because cutting happens without thermal distortion, parts emerge with satin-smooth edges, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary finishing.
  • Operational Efficiency: Leading systems use direct‑drive pumps that consume less electricity and water compared to intensifier pumps. These designs also reduce maintenance and increase uptime.

Key Benefits of Precision Waterjet Fabrication

  • Micron-Level Accuracy: Linear drive systems and precise nozzle control deliver highly repeatable cuts.
  • Taper Compensation: Optional heads like Tilt‑A‑Jet correct cutting taper for better part fidelity.
  • Low Environmental Impact: Quiet submerged cutting (below 80 dBA), efficient pump systems, and minimal waste.
  • Scalability: Range of machines (from compact to large-format) makes it scalable for different production volumes.
