Revolutionize Your Workflow: Add Waterjet Cutting

It’s not easy for a shop to turn down a job due to lack of cutting diversity and concern about profit margins. Sometimes other cutting tools like press brakes, shears and punch and plasma torches can’t cut through thick, difficult materials without errors that job shops can’t afford to make.

Abrasive waterjets are an ideal solution for providing versatility in cutting processes for a variety of different materials that in turn provide cost-efficiency and higher production in shops big or small.

Increase flexibility
A waterjet’s cutting process provides more versatility than traditional cutting methods with their ability to cut through a variety of hard to soft materials including ceramics, metals and composites that are notoriously difficult to machine. Adding waterjet technology to your shop floor opens doors to broaden your business, provide more for customers and gain a larger customer base. OMAX has waterjet cutting machines in various sizes. If your shop has limited floor space, for example, choose one that meets the square footage you have available.  

Gain profitability
Waterjet cutting is a great fit for any shop because it can reduce outside vendor costs. Many companies that added a waterjet to their capabilities no longer have to outsource waterjet cutting jobs, keeping overhead and project control in-house.  

In addition, waterjet cutting results in minimal material waste. Less waste means shops shrink expenses on hard cost of metals, plastics, rubber, natural and all types of material.

Expect better efficiency
Adding waterjet cutting to your service portfolio can help you think more efficiently. For instance, since waterjets are versatile with their cutting processes, operators can cut components or parts to near net shape which can speed up turnaround time once you move to another cutting application.  

Adding a waterjet to your job shop gives you opportunities for operational flexibility, profitability and efficiency - no matter your shop’s size.
