Waterjet cutting uses an environmentally friendly cutting process. Being recyclable and non toxic, our profile cutting service is defined as “green technology“.
We confidently guarantee that our profile cutting service will be completed by the time we state, in the agreed quality or we will donate £100 to the charity of your choice.
Northwest Waterjet Ltd is one of the most affordable and capable waterjet cutting service providers in the UK. We provide a wide range of abrasive and non-abrasive jet cutting services. We utilise high quality machines and computer software to create designs from raw materials. We manufacture custom machined products and parts at competitive rates. Our headquarters is based in Chorley, Lancashire and our immediate catchment area for waterjet cutting is Chorley, Preston, Bolton and Wigan. We however proudly provide our profiling service to the whole of the UK.
We use ultra high pressure waterjet cutting techniques to ensure a fast turnaround on parts. Water is compressed up to 50,000 PSI and then forced through a diamond orifice at 2,500 feet per second. Our waterjet cutting service is capable of cutting sheet metal up to 300mm thick. It can be used to cut reflective materials that laser can’t cut. Materials that we can work on include copper, titanium, acrylic, plastic, wood, and brass.
Waterjet cutting is one of the most accurate cutting methods available for manufacturers. It has cutting tolerances of +/- 0.1mm that allows for intricate designs to be made. Even complicated contours can be cut through this method. The product doesn’t have any burrs that results in a smoother quality cutting surface with no burred edges. It requires little amount of kerf width that maximises the material usage our kerf is typically 0.8mm.
Waterjet cutting doesn’t use any heat, chemicals, or mechanical influences on the material. There is no warping or distortion of the materials due to external factors. That’s why it is the preferred way to make precision parts in aerospace and automobile industries. There’s no need to drill holes before the process.
Our waterjet cutting service saves time and money in creating parts that would normally take multiple operations when made with a CNC Milling machine. The combination of speed and lower costs makes our services better than conventional cutting methods.
Our waterjet cutting service is also the most environmentally friendly cutting method. The process is clean and doesn’t create any dust and by products. The process doesn’t produce fumes and other type of air pollution that accompanies other cutting methods.
Northwest Waterjet Ltd works with clients from various industries. We have made precision parts for transportation, architecture, electronics, aerospace and a lot more.
