Is it possible to get a fast turnaround on a part, without compromising on the accuracy and a flawless finish? It is when you understand the benefits of industrial water jet cutting services from CMP!
There are multiple reasons why Custom Moulded Polyurethane has invested in the latest industrial water jet cutting equipment.
Of course, because it runs alongside our ethos to be the best in the business; creating polyurethane parts with total adherence to even the most detailed of briefs. Also, we wanted to offer this precision engineering option to a wider range of customers.
In fact, we want to offer this to any company, anywhere, that wants to create a 100% clean and precise cut, through just about anything!
Yes, our water jet cutting capabilities are that wide. From solid metal to foam sections which could warp or burn using alternative cutting methods. That sounds like a ‘tall order’. So, if you are one of the growing numbers of specifiers considering using our industrial water jet cutting services, what do you need to know?
How water jet cutting differs from traditional mechanical cutting processes
You probably already know the basics of water jet cutting technology.
However, it’s crucial to appreciate that using a focused stream of under-pressure water (mixed with a carefully measured amount of abrasive material) is not just a quick way to slice through materials. Using the latest technology and our technical expertise, it is also incredibly versatile.
One of the most important advantages compared to traditional ways to precision cut parts is that there is no heat or friction in this process. That means that even materials that are delicate or unpredictable will retain their original tensile properties.
No shedding, flaking, bending, warping or burning.
Just incredibly precise and clean-cut, through a wide spectrum of sizes, densities and types of core materials. There are many things you can cut using industrial water jet cutting services. It’s unlikely that the material you have in mind is missing from the list of possibilities, even if you need particularly thick or thin bespoke parts!
Keeping in mind too, that this is a highly sustainable way to create an accurate part in a wide range of materials.
Also, do you need your part precision engineered to a ready-to-use finish, or cut ready to go through secondary processes? The adaptability of water jet cutting – when compared to traditional methods – means you can specify any shape or finish, with the confidence of complete satisfaction with the end result.
