State of the art waterjet cutting services

Waterjet cutting is the major machine tool process technology of the future. It offers a unique combination of flexibility, simplicity and precision that is unparalleled in other available technology. It can be utilised to cut virtually any material, and is especially suited to composites. It uses an abrasive to cut, meaning that there is no delamination of the composite. With the UltraPierce™ attachment to the cutting head, any layered or laminated composite materials can be cut without any delamination whatsoever, ensuring the structural integrity of the material being cut. This is due to the fact that, from the first contact with composite materials, there is a water and abrasive mixture.

With the 3D Dynamic Cutting Head, Waterjet Cape Town is able to cut chamfers, tapers and intricate geometry, which was not possible in the past. The dynamic cutting ability of the machine also automatically compensates for taper and jet-lag in cut parts, and virtually eliminates corner wash.
