Water Jet Cutting
Using the latest Water Jet Cutting technology, the Frocester Engineering service is fast and cost-effective. We offer a complete design service or can profile directly from an existing design, or redraw from a design on paper.
Water jet Cutting can offer many advantages over traditional profiling techniques including:
- Minimal heat during the process, therefore, no structural change to the materials
- Tolerances of up to 0.1mm
- Virtually any material can be cut up to a thickness of 150mm
- Cut edges are burr-free
- No material discolouration
- No toxic fumes or chemical are generated
- Advance control software allows close nesting of parts, optimising material usage.
Suitable Materials for Water Jet Cutting
From 1 to several thousand, we can rapidly produce accurate parts of any two-dimensional shape at a thickness up to 150mm, from a wide range of materials including:
- Mild Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminium
- Metal Alloys
- Hardox
- Granite
- Marble
- Carbon Fibre
- Glass
- Plastics
- Ceramic Tiles
- Rubber
- Textiles
- Foam
- Carpet
Fast and competitive service
Lead times are typically 3 to 4 days, but we can provide a 24 hour or ‘while you wait’ service by prior arrangement.
We have always been impressed with Frocester Engineering`s professional, flexible and helpful attitude. They have produced ‘urgent’ orders at very short notice whilst still maintaining their high-quality standards. We have also benefited from their technical expertise and advice on various new projects.
