ADM's Expertise, Your Assurance
Waterjet Cutting
We provide full-service ultrahigh-pressure Waterjet Cutting using our Mach 500 Waterjet by Flow with Dynamic XD® cutting head technology paired with Compass™ to deliver accurate 5-axis motion capable of cutting compound angles with high accuracy. Ideal for complex and difficult shapes such as inside corners, notches, and architectural and artistic shapes from a variety of sheet sizes ranging from 1/16–10 inch thickness. We make high-precision cuts of virtually any material, shape, and size on a supersized 13-foot x 26-foot cutting table without resultant heat-affected zones, mechanical damage, or delamination by using cold water and up to 94,000 psi of ultrahigh waterjet pressure. Technical specifications include linear straightness of +/- 0.0015 in./3 ft., rapid traverse maximum of 700 in./min, and repeatability of 0.001 in. We ensure the maximum use of your material using SigmaNEST® software.
