Remcon's Waterjet cutting produces a better edge cut without interruption. And it not only handles slots and through-cuts, but the cut can be initiated at any point on the workpiece.

Why Use Waterjet Cutting?

  1. There is no heat affected zone:

    1. No microcracking.
    2. Often eliminates deburring, grinding.
    3. Parts do not distort.
    4. We can cut heat treated material.


  2. Material utilization improves:

    1. The jet profiles vs making chips.
    2. Drops can be salvaged.
    3. Nesting and line-to-line cutting work-- no heat affected zone.


  3. Secondary machining costs are lower:

    1. Cutter life is longer & feeds higher.
    2. Net shapes generated.
    3. Piercing cuts needed for start holes. No heat affected zone.

Quality of Cut

  • Sharp inside corners are easily achieved
  • Clean holes are pierced and contoured
  • Deburring is often not required
  • Pinpoint contouring saves material

Remcon's Waterjet cutting creates no high temperatures, therefore there is little or no change in the physical properties of the material being cut.

No Heat Means...

  • No slag or burr
  • Heat treat is not changed
  • Easier machining of blanks
  • Longer fatigue life
