WATERJET

Harvey Vogel recently expanded its manufacturing arsenal to include 5 axis waterjet cutting. This new state of the art, 60,000 psi Flow Mach 3 waterjet offers an extremely wide range of processing capabilities:

Will cut up to 6” thick of nearly any material and hardness,
(except diamond or tempered glass).
Eliminates thermal expansion and HAZ (Heat Affected Zone)
No issues with processing reflective materials as for our laser systems.
Cutting speeds up to 300 ipm., sheet sizes 6’ x 12’ and under.
Accuracy of .002 over 3 linear feet.

5 axes of motion will open new doors for HV and its customers. The waterjet, when combined with our expansive equipment list, allows HV engineering staff to take a surgical approach in selecting ideal methods of manufacturing.

5 axis waterjet cutting:

Will eliminate edge taper, which accompanies all laser, punching and conventional waterjet practice.
Improves edge quality, providing a cleaner surface and faster cutting speeds, without sacrificing quality.
