Advantages of ABL’s CNC Waterjet Cutting:

• Cuts virtually any material: metals, alloys, composites, plastics, glass, stone, etc.

• Large table size to handle materials up to 10’ x 20’, 12” thick

• 5-axis, 3-D shape cutting capability

• Waterjet cutting is a cold-cut with no heat affected zones; unlike laser, plasma, and Oxy/Fuel

• No case hardened edges on cut materials

• 5-axis cutting head eliminates edge taper

• Precision tolerances much better than traditional cutting methods - similar to laser

• Quick set-up time for short runs, rapid response

• Precision nest cutting for high quantity production runs
