About Water Jet Machining and Abrasive Machining Services

Water jet machining services and abrasive machining services direct a jet of water and abrasive at the material to be machined. The jet drags the abrasive through the material in a curved path and the resulting centrifugal forces on the particles pressing them against the workpiece. When selecting water jet machining services and abrasive machining services, machining capabilities and material capabilities are important specifications to consider. Most companies are capable of 2-axis machining, 5-axis machining and/or micro machining. Material capabilities include aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, composites, copper, glass, glass ceramics, hardened metals, nickel, nickel alloys, plastics, precious metals, rubber, steel, stainless steel, steel alloys, stone, marble, granite, titanium, and ultra-hard materials such as quartz, ruby, and sapphire.


Products & Services Related to Water Jet Machining and Abrasive Machining Services

Centerless Grinding Services
Centerless grinding services perform a machining operation in which an abrasive wheel grinds metal from a bar surface while a regulating wheel forces the bar against the grinding wheel.
CNC Machining Services
CNC machining services use fast, repeatable, and programmable machines which can function while unattended in order to manufacture parts quickly and efficiently.
EDM Machining Services
EDM machining services remove metal by burning instead of cutting or grinding. There are three basic types of electro discharge machining (EDM) operations: electrode EDM, wire EDM, and small-hole EDM.
Lapping Services
Lapping services uses a free abrasive machining process, which produces finished components without introducing stresses and heat damage associated with other processes.
Laser Machining Services
Laser machining services use computer-controlled lasers to perform a variety of material removal processes. These lasers can be positioned and controlled with a high degree of accuracy, allowing for a variety of effects to be achieved.
Micro Machining Services
Micro machining services perform precision machining on small parts to integrate detail.
Plastic Machining Services
Plastic machining services fashion or fabricate parts and components out of various plastic and thermoplastic materials.
