Plan Tech offers waterjet cutting services utilizing a “state of the art” Flow Dynamic 4′ x 8′ Integrated Flying Bridge waterjet cutting machine.
The dynamic head virtually eliminates the taper normally associated with waterje
t cutting while improving cutting speeds, part accuracy and tolerances in cutting flat stock materials.
Our capabilities include:
- Taper elimination by Active Tolerance Control
- Versatility – cut with water only or abrasive
- Secondary finishing elimination
- Part tolerance and geometry improvement
- True part stacking ability with consistent tolerance layer to layer
- Vacuum assist technology for carbon fiber and other laminates
Some of the materials we can cut include:
- Polyurethane, all durometers
- Polyurethane laminates of metallic and non-metallics
- Reinforced polyurethanes
- ArmorglideTM polyurethanes
- Steel, Stainless, Aluminum, Brass, Titanium, Copper
- Rubber, Silicone
- Silicone Foam, Foam Rubber, Polyurethane Foam
- UHMW-PE, HDPE, LDPE
- PEEK, Acrylic, Nylon, Delrin, PTFE/Teflon, ABS, Acetal
- Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, Fiberglass
Call for information if the material you seek is not included on the list. Think about the possibilities. Cast urethanes with fabric reinforcement, bonded metallic layers or UHMW. Waterjet cutting can make quick work of the dissimilar materials that make conventional machining difficult if not impossible. For example, rigid soft durometers with reduced elongation and greater tensile strengths or metallic parts with integrated vibration damping or high rebound properties.
Waterjet is not the only way to cut urethanes, but it is the best way that we have found!
