Precision Cutting Services for Steel and Stainless Steel Plates
At Northwest Waterjet, we specialise in delivering high-quality cutting solutions for steel and stainless steel plates, utilising both waterjet and laser cutting technologies. Our advanced equipment and skilled team ensure precise, efficient, and cost-effective results tailored to your specific requirements.
Waterjet Cutting for Steel and Stainless Steel
Waterjet cutting is a versatile method ideal for processing steel and stainless steel plates, regardless of thickness. By employing ultra-high-pressure water mixed with abrasive particles, this technique effectively slices through metal without generating heat, preserving the material’s structural integrity and eliminating heat-affected zones.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting:
- Versatility: Capable of cutting a wide range of thicknesses and complex shapes.
- Material Integrity: No heat-affected zones, preventing material distortion or hardening.
- Precision: Achieves tight tolerances for intricate designs.
For thicker materials, our waterjet cutting service offers the ultimate flexibility, ensuring clean and precise results.
Laser Cutting for Steel and Stainless Steel
Laser cutting is renowned for its speed and precision, making it suitable for thinner steel and stainless steel plates. Our state-of-the-art Amada Laser, with a 3000mm x 1500mm bed size and shuttle tables, efficiently handles both small and large production runs.
Laser Cutting Capabilities:
- Mild Steel: Up to 25mm thickness.
- Stainless Steel (304 & 316): Up to 20mm thickness.
- Aluminium: Up to 15mm thickness.
- Brass: Up to 10mm thickness.
- Copper: Up to 8mm thickness.
Advantages of Laser Cutting:
