What industries use waterjet cutting machines?

OMAX Waterjets are changing the way businesses approach precision cutting. With unmatched versatility and efficiency, OMAX waterjets cut through any material with ease! With minimal waste and good for the environment, our water jet machines get used in a range of industries. See the benefits of OMAX waterjet technology for your sector:

Manufacturing and Fabrication

OMAX waterjet cutting machine are a cornerstone of manufacturing. Manufacturers leverage waterjets for heavy machinery to intricate projects. Waterjets have the capability to cut steel, metals, composites, and so much more! The main benefit is waterjets do not leave heat-affected zones, preserving material properties. This reduces the need for secondary processing. From thin to dense, thick materials, waterjets offer flexibility for different manufacturing needs. Along with all these benefits, there will also be clean cuts with no debris!

Aerospace

The aerospace industry demands precision, and with a waterjet you achieve even more! Cutting lightweight materials like aluminium, titanium, and advanced composites, are essential for aerospace. OMAX waterjet machines achieve tight tolerances up to ±0.005 inches for high accuracy. Waterjet eliminates material distortion which is critical for maintaining structural integrity in aerospace.

Automotive

Automotive relies on waterjet for tasks ranging from prototyping to large-scale production. Waterjets cut gaskets, interior panels, and custom parts. Manufacturers can adapt quick to design changes without extensive re-tooling. There will also be less machine downtime and tool wear, which means there is more time to produce more parts! With customisation of brackets or limited-edition vehicle components, you can create anything!

Architecture

Do you create bespoke floor inlays, decorative glass pieces, or sculptures? With a waterjet, complex designs are no issue and preferred by most creators. With the VersaJET, you can create curved features from 0-60 degrees. Our waterjets are environmental conscious with no hazardous waste or toxic fumes. You can bring your creative visions to life while helping the environment.

Electronics

A major past issue for electronics has been generating heat and debris. These issues are immediately eliminated with waterjet cutting. Not only does this keep the integrity of sensitive electronic parts, it improves the product reliability. You can cut circuit boards, silicon wafers, display panels and more!

Medical Devices

In the medical industry, it is imperative for surgical instruments to be precise. Waterjets construct implants, diagnostic equipment, and prosthetics . This meets the demand by cutting biocompatible materials, like advanced polymers, with accuracy.

Defence and Military

Processing hard materials, like armour plating, is not difficult for waterjet cutters. Waterjets play a critical role in prototyping military vehicles, aircrafts, and naval vessels.

Taking the Next Step

The adaptability of OMAX waterjets extends to a wide range of industries. They are an invaluable tool for businesses focused on precision, efficiency, and versatility. From crafting artwork to shaping medical devices, OMAX waterjets achieve goals! With their ability to cut any material, they are the forefront of machining solutions.
