Capabilities

Our waterjets help us stay ahead of the competition.
We use a tilting head to eliminate the taper that other waterjets produce during the cutting process; this feature allows for faster cutting and more accurate parts.

Our knowledge and experience form the basis of our core capabilities, which include:
  • Project Management
  • Custom Designs
  • Process and Quality Expertise
  • Equipment Experts
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Innovative Solutions
  • Ability to accommodate jobs from one part to thousands of parts
  • Fast and efficient cutting

Multi-Axis Cutting

Our 5-axis cutting waterjet gives us the flexibility to cut angles up to 60 from vertical. This is especially helpful when the material is extremely hard or the bulk of material is removed for another process, such as building turbine components. Other common multi-axis cutting includes countersinks, bevels and weld preparation. WCSI’s other Waterjets have tapper compensation heads and drill capabilities.

Cutting Capabilities

  • Cutting Area: 80" x 160"
  • Cutting thickness from 0.005" to 13" thick
  • Cutting accuracy up to ± 0.005"
