Waterjet cutting, also known as abrasive hydro cutting, is a manufacturing process that uses extremely high-pressure water, often up to 50,000 psi or more, combined with an abrasive material at the nozzle. This accelerates the abrasive particles, enabling the waterjet cutting machine to precisely cut through a variety of materials (similar to laser cutting but without heat, therefore eliminating the risk of heat distortion).

When cutting softer materials like rubber, foam, or plastics, a pure waterjet is sufficient. For harder materials such as metals, stone, or composites, an abrasive should be added to enhance the cutting capabilities. Waterjet cutting systems are highly versatile and capable of handling a wide range of materials and thicknesses without generating heat, preventing warping or altering material properties. Unlike laser or plasma cutters, a waterjet cutter can cut virtually any material placed under the nozzle by eroding the material in a precise line rather than burning through it.

This makes waterjet cutting services ideal for intricate shapes, tight tolerances, and materials that are challenging to cut using traditional methods. Popular applications for waterjet machining include industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, where high-precision components with smooth edges and no heat-affected zones are essential.

As a reliable provider of industrial waterjet cutting, coupled with precision CNC milling machines we offer an all-in-one solution for precision machined parts. Our advanced waterjet machine technology ensures that every project is completed with precision and quality, no matter the material or complexity.

Our state-of-the-art water-cutting facilities are capable of producing highly accurate profiles across a wide range of materials, including aluminium, steel, stainless steel, and more. By keeping these materials in stock, we eliminate delays caused by waiting for profiles to arrive, enabling us to turn around orders quickly and efficiently. Water cutting also leaves a far superior finish on thicker materials that would be typically flame cut, enabling us to finish cut profiles that would typically need CNC machining after profiling.

The Maxiem 1530 is equipped with an innovative linear drive system that provides smooth, accurate, and responsive motion control. This ensures precise cutting movements, achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.1mm, even for intricate designs or sharp corners.

A cutting area of 10 feet x 5 feet (3m x 1.5m) allows for the precise machining of large components or multiple parts from a single sheet, reducing setup time and material waste.

Using Intelli-MAX control software, designed specifically for water jet cutting, optimises cutting paths, minimises waste, and ensures precise execution of intricate CAD designs, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency.
