Waterjet Tooling

"Waterjet" is a term used to describe a particular genre of industrial manufacturing equipment. A waterjet uses a high pressure stream of water for precision cutting, tooling, or cleaning of machines or parts. Galaxy Technologies utilizes waterjets which provide cutting power through a single supersonic stream of water which is able to cut many types of industrial materials in a single pass without succumbing to heat warping. This is an excellent method of developing custom metal tools and aerospace parts in a short amount of time.

Waterjets are the preferred method for many manufactures when they are cutting materials which are sensitive to the high temperatures normally involved in more traditional tooling methods. High-powered waterjets have the ability to cut these materials without allowing the excess heat to interfere with the structure of the material. Galaxy Technologies uses waterjets for cutting, shaping, tooling, and customizing parts for its clients. These clients' needs include materials for work in the aerospace, mining, and drilling fields. The cuts made by a waterjet are clean, and the precision of the water stream prevents shredding or crushing. The water is pressurized to upwards of 90,000 pounds per square inch using an additional component called the intensifier pump.

Contact Galaxy Technologies today to learn more about designing, engineering and creating your next custom tooling project using our waterjet process.
