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. Usable drops, not chips.
    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

Remcon's CAD/CAM software system provides prompt and precise coordination of your product's design with its automated manufacture.

CAD/CAM

  • Shapes cut directly from customer computer files
  • Freehand artistic contours are scanned accurately
  • Cutting programs are not separated from user engineering specs
  • Redrawing is minimal, errors are reduced, traceability is held
  • Nesting software improves material utilization
  • Engineering changes are made promptly
  • Files are transfered via modem, DNC link, or networks
