How waterjet cutting supports the aerospace industry

At Precision Waterjet, we understand the critical importance of precision when it comes to manufacturing components for the aerospace industry.

At Precision Waterjet, we understand the critical importance of precision when it comes to manufacturing components for the aerospace industry. The aerospace sector demands the highest standards in materials, design, and production processes. Waterjet cutting technology has proven to be an invaluable tool in meeting these rigorous requirements. By offering exceptional precision, waterjet cutting ensures that aerospace components are manufactured to exacting standards.

Precision Waterjet cutting for aerospace components

Waterjet cutting is a non-thermal process that uses high-pressure water to cut through various materials with high precision. This makes it an ideal solution for the aerospace industry, where the need for accuracy is paramount. Waterjet cutting provides a clean, smooth edge without the heat-affected zones (HAZ) commonly associated with other cutting methods such as laser or plasma cutting.

For example, in the aerospace industry, precision is needed for manufacturing parts like turbine blades, structural components, and cockpit panels. These parts are often subjected to extreme conditions. Waterjet cutting allows for intricate and complex cuts with extremely tight tolerances, which is essential for many components.

Case Study: Aerospace component manufacturing

To illustrate the benefits of waterjet cutting, consider the case of the carbon fibre composites we worked with. The company required a cutting solution that could maintain tight tolerances. By employing waterjet cutting, we were able to deliver the precision they needed without the risk of warping or thermal distortion that could compromise performance.

This is just one example of how Precision Waterjet's technology is utilised in the aerospace sector. Our waterjet cutting machines can handle a variety of materials that are commonly used in aerospace manufacturing, including aluminium, titanium, composites, and other high- performance materials.
