Precision 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting Services

A waterjet is a machine used for cutting a variety of materials by using two types of cutting methods; abrasive or pure cutting. Pure cutting uses clean water and a strong jet of that water (at high velocity) directed onto the material to obtain a precise cut; this method is better for softer materials such as rubber and wood. Abrasive cutting is used for harder, more dense materials such as metal, stone and glass, and uses a combination of water and an abrasive substance.

RDL Machine Waterjet Capabilities & Features

Here at RDL Machine, we operate a 5^th axis waterjet; the additional two axes (A and C axes) combined with the traditional X, Y, and Z axes permit for perpendicular and rotational movement. The revolutionary technology of a 5^th axis waterjet can cut with any level of complexity required and to a variety of depths. In other words, our machine allows for increased versatility and therefore the capability to produce an extreme level of precision, custom parts.

Advantages of 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting

Versatile
- can cut through nearly any material, as well as multi-layered materials which allows for the production of more in less time.
Cold cutting process
- no heat is applied to the material being cut; the material is protected against exposure to high temperatures which have the possibility of altering the physical structure of the material
- allows for perfectly smooth edges and therefore no additional time for deburring
Cost-effective and less maintenance
- The parts created by this method are cut from sheet or plate material
- No special devices (clamps, fixtures, tool exchangers, etc) are needed
- Shorter set up and production times
Environmentally friendly and safe
- This cutting method does not create chemical waste or hazardous material
