Flow CNC Abrasive Water Jet Summary

Question:

What do you get when you have a machine that can, every minute, force a gallon of water and over a pound of abrasive sand through a hole the size of a pin point at Mach 3?

Answer:

A machine that will cut or etch the most intricate designs in virtually any material you like (steel, titanium, marble, glass, plastic, rubber, carbon fibre, brass, even wood) up to 6 inches thick!

Brooks Industrial Metals is proud to supply Abrasive Water Jet cutting to the Brooks area.

Our Flow dynamic head abrasive water jet machine is our top of the line in both cutting and precision. The water jet is capable of cutting to tolerances of within .010” for materials up to 1” thick, and within .015” for materials up to 6” thick. The functional cutting bed for the water jet is 6 feet wide by 12 feet long.

The water jet is capable of cutting through, or etching into, almost any flat material. Design possibilities are limited only by your imagination and the requirement that the starting material be flat. Please be advised that while the water jet will create wonderful projects in glass, the water jet will not work on tempered glass (which is designed to break into pellets upon impact).

If you have an idea you would like to see cut or etched, come talk to our water jet experts, Byron and Joel. Start with your own detailed design, or let us help you design the project of your dreams…
