Abrasive Waterjet Of Indiana Provides complex cutting of virtually any material.

Abrasive Waterjet of Indiana

Abrasivejets have been used in industry since 1982. The precursor to abrasivejets, waterjets, have been in use since 1970.

Abrasivejets are used by industries such as the automobile, aerospace, and glass industries, to create precision parts from hard-to-cut materials.

Advantages of abrasivejets
Abrasivejets have many advantages over other machining methods:

Wide range of materials
Abrasive waterjets can machine a wide range of thicknesses and materials, including metals, plastics, glass, and ceramics.
Quality finish
Materials cut by the abrasivejet have a smooth, satin-like finish, similar to a fine sandblasted finish.
No heat in machining process
Abrasivejets abrade material at room temperatures. As a result, there are no heat-affected areas or structural changes in materials. Abrasivejets can also machine hardened metals and materials with low melting points.
Environmentally friendly
abrasivejets use garnet as an abrasive. Garnet is a reddish natural crystal, with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7.5. No noxious gases or liquids are used in abrasivejet machining, nor are there any oils used in the machining process.
No tool changing
A wide range of conventional processes can be performed with this single tool:
• Drilling
• Sawing
• Broaching
• Gear cutting
• Profile milling
• Punching
• Slitting
• Spline cutting
• Blanking
Minimal burr
No heavy burrs are produced by the abrasivejet process. Parts can often be used directly without deburring.
