In line with our reputation as a hybrid manufacturer, Agwey Metals is pleased to offer precision Waterjet cutting services in addition to our other manufacturing and fabrication capabilities. This green technology will not thermally distort materials, it reduces or in many cases eliminates the need for secondary operations, and the end product boasts smooth finished edges. We provide intricate etching and scribing of an array of materials including steel, aluminum, beryllium copper, brass, titanium, and a host of other standard and exotic metals. This service is available to customers needing a full production run, or a one-off project.
Our state-of-the-art Waterjet cutting equipment offers 3-axis cutting, with nozzle pressure of 60,000 psi, with a maximum cutting width and length is 48″. We hold cutting tolerances as close as ±.005″, handling materials up to 6″ thick. Employing a range of pressure we can produce edge quality of 1 through 5, with a kerf of .024″. Material raw forms we work from include coil, sheet, bar stock, or plate.
