Abrasive Cutting (Water-Jet) Service Available

Waterjet cutting also referred to as water jet or abrasive waterjet cutting, stands as one of the fabrication techniques provided by Glider Systems Inc. It involves the utilization of a high-pressure stream of water combined with an abrasive substance to slice through various materials, particularly for industrial purposes such as the production of machine components. Contemporary waterjet cutting machines are controlled by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems that use G-code to precisely position the water jet nozzle, ensuring enhanced accuracy. Some noteworthy advantages of waterjet cutting with an abrasive substance encompass the capability to cut diverse materials like metals, plastics, foam, and composites without causing an increase in the material’s surface temperature or compromising its internal structure, often referred to as Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). It also enables the cutting of sharp corners, holes, and intricate shapes with small inner radii, facilitates quick turnaround times, and minimizes material wastage due to the precision of the cutting process and the narrowness of the nozzle.
