High-pressure waterjet abrasive cutting

marine

An innovative cutting process for metals, refractories, glass and many other materials. It provides a very clean cut without heat distortion, and an excellent finish.

The US Jet Edge high-pressure equipment can operate at up to well over 4000 bar on a fixed production line, or to almost 2,500 bar with a hose-dependent portable unit, producing a well-finished cut in 50-70mm plate, or at the limit cutting steel to more than 200mm.
