What is waterjet cutting?

The waterjet work cell is designed to handle large production runs supporting customers requiring JIT uninterrupted service. The header system of ultra high pressure pumps provide more than enough capacity even with a scheduled or unscheduled maintenance occurrence. We take pride in our waterjet cutting services and giving our customers the highest quality and the most competitive price. Maximum Industries specializes in a variety of waterjet cutting services and offers quick set up for proto-type runs.

Maximum Industries has 5-axis waterjet cutting services that range from simple 2-D cutting projects requiring nesting for best material yield to complex 3-D cutting projects using unique fixturing to hold and protect valuable parts during the cutting process are everyday occurrences. We pride ourselves in providing the extra services which reduce our customers cost and insure quality parts in the end.

Benefits of Waterjet Cutting

With waterjet cutting machines, you can cut a wide range of materials faster and more precisely than similar cutting options.

Waterjet cutting is best for:

• Reflective Materials: For highly reflective materials like aluminum or copper, laser cutting beams can bounce back and cause damage. Waterjet cutting avoids this entirely by using a high-pressure stream of water and abrasive material.
• Soft Materials: Traditional cutting methods can tear, melt, or cause other damage to soft materials like rubber or foam. Waterjet cutting can provide precise cuts with no heat-affected zone (HAZ), minimal mechanical force, and no need for secondary finishing.
• Thick Materials: Waterjet cutting can handle materials several inches thick and cut with a narrow stream, resulting in minimal material loss.
• Complex Cuts: Controlled by CNC systems, waterjet cutting can follow highly detailed paths with tight tolerances. 5-axis waterjet cutting, like that offered by Maximum Industries, allows for the cutting of extremely complex geometries.

Maximum Industries Waterjet Cutting Capabilities

• Dual cutting heads on 2 of the 6 systems
• Multiple machines that aid in handling large production runs or reducing delivery schedules
• Quick set up for prototype runs
• Larger work envelopes than most facilities
• Only the latest technology is being used
• Experience with fixturing, jigging, etc. to handle non-traditional projects
• Experience with very small parts along with very large parts requiring multiple programs

Maximum Industries is one of the only companies with a 125 HP/90,000 PSI 5-axis waterjet system providing these types of services in the United States.

We have experience serving the following Industries:

• Aerospace & Defense
• Oil & Gas
• Medical
• Automotive
• Industrial Markets

Why use a 90,000 PSI waterjet cutting systems?

Cutting speeds are drastically improved allowing more customers to take advantage of the no-heat cutting process and coatings removal. Faster cutting speeds mean more throughput. Two-thirds of operating costs are directly associated with the abrasive. Using a 90,000 PSI waterjet cutting system means less abrasive per linear inch of cutting, which reduces cost on both the front end and the back end. The jet quality is also better and provides tighter tolerances when compared to other waterjet cutting systems. Maximum Industries is happy to review your application to help save you money.
