Waterjet cutting is one such method, and Precision Cutting Service is one of the nation’s leading waterjet cutting firms. For more than 29 years, they have consistently produced thousands of extraordinarily precise and dependable parts for the aerospace industry. And they do so for other industries, too, including automotive, marine, transportation and food processing, among others.

With tolerances of ± .003,” Precision Cutting Service’s waterjet cutting systems use a fine, highly-pressurized and incredibly sharp stream of water to cut a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, composites, plastics, rubber, marble and more. They routinely cut intricate designs, complex parts and routine shapes with a high degree of precision. Indeed, they are exactly the type of proven resource the aerospace industry needs.

Here’s why:

1.   Precision

As mentioned earlier, their cutting tolerances are ±.003,” which means there is never a variation in size or thickness, and all the parts they make fit and function as designed. Each component part is cut to exact specifications and there are never any irregular edges. Every part is smooth and free of defects, ensuring optimal fit, performance and safety.

2.   Versatility

The aerospace industry requires components made from a variety of materials, including, as mentioned above, stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, composites, plastics, rubber and more. Precision Cutting Service’s waterjet cutting systems effortlessly cut these materials in thicknesses up to 6” and lengths up to 12’ to produce the parts their aerospace customers require.

3.   Reduced Material Waste

Traditional cutting methods often produce significant amounts of wasted material that increase manufacturing lead-times and costs. This is because the blades they use or the heat they generate sometimes destroy edges or alter the chemical composition of the material they are cutting. Also, because conventional cutting systems cannot nest products as tightly as Precision Cutting Service’s waterjet cutting systems can, they typically use more material than necessary.

4.   Time-Saving

The aerospace industry is fast-paced and tends to require quick or on-demand turnaround times. Waterjet cutting systems, partly because they are driven by powerful software and computers, cut faster than conventional cutting methods. Additionally, they do not require tool changes, which further reduces production times. Best, the staff at Precision Cutting Service understands the need for speed and, with their experience and capable technology, makes certain their aerospace customers receive their parts when or before they need them.

5.   Cost-Effective

In sum, waterjet cutting systems are simultaneously efficient and effective, saving time and money in both the near term and long run. Plus, waterjet cutting is precise, virtually eliminating the possibility of a catastrophic error.

1.     Reduced Material Waste

One of the biggest advantages of waterjet cutting technology is that it significantly reduces material waste. Other cutting methods, such as plasma cutting and laser cutting, generate a tremendous amount heat when cutting material, which often causes the composition of the material to change—in particular, melting and warping—which can render the parts they produce unusable.

Waterjet cutting, on the other hand, uses an incredibly fine, high-pressure stream of cold water to cut through virtually any material without causing damage. It also is guided by sophisticated software that determines the best way to nest the parts that need to be cut from a sheet of material, thereby increasing yield and reducing material waste. Additionally, the edges of the parts it cuts are always perfectly smooth, which eliminates the need for labor intensive post finishing, such as filing, sanding or polishing.

2.     Faster Cutting Speeds

Another advantage of waterjet cutting technology is that it cuts through materials much faster than traditional cutting methods. This is because the high-pressure stream of water it generates for cutting is more powerful and efficient that other cutting methods. And, as mentioned above, turnaround times are improved because post finishing labor is eliminated.

3.     Lower Maintenance Costs

Waterjet cutting machines require less maintenance than traditional cutting machines. In short, they basically only require water, specially engineered cutting nozzles and a sophisticated software to produce the parts to be cut. Other cutting methods require far more costly maintenance to keep them in good working condition. The lower the maintenance, the lower the overhead and the lower the costs of production.

4.     Versatility

Waterjet cutting technology is incredibly versatile and can cut through a wide range of materials, including plastic, rubber, composites, steel, aluminum, marble and more. Because every item it cuts can either be a standard or highly customized part, it is an ideal cutting method for many different industries, including aerospace, railroads, automotive, and medical device manufacturing. It is particularly well suited for dimensional sign manufacturers, petrochemical and food processing gasket users, flooring contractors, architects and interior designers in need of decorative floor medallions, and all manner of firms seeking unique and/or machine specific parts production.

5.     Increased Precision

Waterjet cutting technology offers unparalleled precision compared to traditional cutting methods. It is this precision that also helps keep manufacturing costs down. Material waste is kept to minimums that other cutting methods are not capable of achieving.

Also, its precision is what makes waterjet cutting an excellent choice for producing complex and intricate designs. Its incredibly fine and sharp pressurized stream of cutting water is capable of cutting tolerances as tight as ± .003.” But this precision is not just excellent for intricate projects. It is also perfect for quickly and accurately producing routine jobs as well, such as large volumes of industry specific gaskets.

Founded in 1994, Precision Cutting Service is one of the nation’s most trusted waterjet cutting firms. Their modern waterjet cutting systems and skilled staff help hundreds of companies each year reduce their manufacturing costs by delivering reliably efficient and effective cutting solutions.

If you’re looking for a company to handle a custom cutting job, such as crafting a metal sign or creating custom gaskets, there are a lot of options from which to choose.  Generally, cutting services based around lasers or physical saws get a lot of attention.  However, there’s a third option—water jet cutting services—that may be perfect for your needs!

Water jet cutting produces great results at lower prices than the alternatives.

How Water Jet Cutting Works

As the name suggests, water jet cutting literally uses a high-pressure stream of water.  And we do mean high pressure.  Our water jets shoot out at pressures of 60,000 PSI or even higher, focused through an aperture smaller than .01 inches.

The result is like a knife made of water, and it can cut through virtually anything.  Water jet cutting is most commonly associated with cutting hard stone, such as granite.  (In fact, it’s one of the only things that can cut granite smoothly.)  However, water jet cutting services can actually cut just about anything—and that’s how we distinguish ourselves.

Lasers have a tendency to burn the material being cut and sometimes because of the heat they generate can alter the chemical makeup of the material it cuts.  Saws and other physical cutting implements leave ragged edges that require post finishing.  Water jet cutting, on the other hand, is nearly instantaneous, while leaving a perfectly smooth cut that does no damage to the surrounding material. It can also cut just about any two dimensional shape in sizes smaller than a dime and larger than an SUV.

Water jet cutting services can even cut materials like foam, cork, rubber, steel and aluminum.

Plus, water jet cutting is remarkably eco-friendly.  After all, we’re often just using water.

The end result for you is this: water jet cutting services are faster and more efficient than other forms of cutting, and there’s no need for rework afterward because the cut is smooth.  That means, in most cases, water jet cutting is also the most affordable option.
