High-Precision Microwaterjet Cutting For Advanced Research Environments
The part pictured below is one of many parts Micro Waterjet has cut for use in a proprietary positioning system. As the customer stated, the Micro Waterjet process was chosen over other technologies because it provided:
- Excellent squareness of kerf on thick parts which is much better than photo etching–this is key for well-aligned laminations;
- Wire-EDM-like tolerances without EDM cost and slowness, particularly with lots of internal penetration cuts;
- No material damage like with laser cutting.
The part is made out of Stainless Steel and is 1.125” x 3.375” x 0.039”
(28.575mm x 85.275mm x 1 mm) with the thinnest portion being 0.0118” (0.3mm). Critical tolerance is + 0.02mm – 0.00mm.
The microwaterjet® process give you the flexibility to help your customer by suggesting alternative materials which may increase performance and reduce overall cost.
