B.G. Peck Water Jet Cutting:
B.G. Peck has been using waterjets to cut materials from stainless steel
to carbon fiber parts for decades. It's proven to be a great option for
many customers looking for precise cutting of metal and non-metal
materials quickly, often shipping products the same day, with no tooling
charges. We can handle materials up to 8 inches thick, 8 feet long and
4 feet wide and cut them accurately to within +/- .005 inches if
necessary. Our water jets' have been used to cut prototypes for jet
engines, radar systems, automotive parts, by artists to create unique
pieces of artwork, to cut marble to to create beautiful and artistic
stone inlays, and much more. Our waterjets will cut any metal, plastic,
rubber, fiber (including carbon fiber), stone, wood, glass, or mirrors
in small prototype runs, or large production runs. All of this with no
tooling charge. Just send us your electronic files and leave the rest
to us.
We also have the advantage of many other means of cutting materials
including: stamping, laser cutting, steel rule die cutting, EDM and CNC
machining. This variety of processes gives us the ability to accomodate
our customer's every need, on time- all the time.
We're proud of the work that we do for our customers and we're glad to
have them coming back year after year. Let us earn your business too.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting
With Water Jet Cutting you
can cut almost any type of material. Water Jet is especially ideal for
cutting materials that cannot be cut by a laser or thermal cut.
Materials like Titanium, Granite, Aluminum, Marble, Stainless Steel,
Carbon Steel, Inconel, Concrete, Stone, Glass, Plastic, Rubber, Foam,
Tile, Ceramics.
With Waterjet Cutting you can reduce costs and speed up processing by
eliminating or reducing expensive secondary processes. Since no heat is
applied to the material, cut edges are clean with minimal burr.
Problems such as Thermal Cracked Edge Defects, Crystallization,
Hardening, and Reduced Machine- or Weld-abilities are eliminated. Parts
remain flat and there is no tooling to design, build, test, maintain, or
modify.
With
Waterjet Nesting Capabilities it is ideal for Prototypes with Maximized
Material Yield. Water Jet maintains accuracy over other methods of
machining.
A
waterjet can cut materials with a variety of speeds achieving either a
great deail of accuracy with very smooth edges or a lower level of
accuracy with rougher edges. If the tolerences required for your
application are low, cutting speeds may be greatly increased to save
money. The image above, from a very informational article on "water jet
cutter" on wikipedia.org, clearly illustrates the variation in cut
quality.
