Why use Waterjet Cutting?

• Rapid Setup – great for prototype, short run or production
• Minimal or no fixturing cost in most cases
• High Accuracy +-.005” possible where you need it and +-.015" where you don’t
• No heat affected zone or stress induced into material
  • Holes can be reamed to final size and tapped if needed
     
• Minimal secondary operations as in deburring or cleanup
• Better material yield due to thin .030" - .040" kerf width
• Reduction or elimination of other manufacturing steps or processes
• Parts can be marked during cutting adding value or improving quality downstream
  • Examples: bend lines, weld locations, part alignment, Part #/company ID, etc.
     
• Your scrap has more value vs. cut chips
• Ability to use pre-hardened material reducing steps
• Ability to cut dissimilar laminated material reducing steps
• Parts can be stack cut in some cases
• Un-matched versatility
• Parts cut with a Waterjet fit together with no hassle!
• All the above are potential methods to reduce cost!

Why use Heartland Waterjet Cutting for your waterjet cutting needs?

Service:
Service is #1, we are a supplier you can depend on!

Diversity:
We are not just a waterjet job shop with one type of machine. We can handle your wide range of needs using the most cost effective technology. See the Our Services page.

Our large capacity two cutting head machine can get your project done quickly and on time!

• Two cutting heads turn out 2 parts in the time it takes to cut one!
• Large capacity table – In many cases we can run one job and setup another saving time. In other cases we can interrupt a job and run a higher priority job then resume the interrupted job with no setup disruption.

Material Handling:
We can handle large heavy plate minimizing material handling and setup time on your projects. This will maximize material yield and machine uptime meeting customer needs.

Solutions Based:
We can help turn your ideas into reality. Send us a sketch or drawing and have us produce a prototype made from a inexpensive piece of plastic, wood, or even scrap material we may have on hand. With a prototype in hand your co-workers or customers can better understand your ideas and solutions.

Ingenuity & Creativity: We like Challenge
Many potential waterjet applications do not present themselves in traditional flat sheet 2D waterjet cutting. We can fixture these applications on our machine minimizing cutting time and cost.
