Custom Abrasive Water-Jet Cutting at AMS

Water jet cutting technology is one of the fastest-growing major machine tool processes in the world due to its versatility and ease of operation. Manufacturers are realizing that there are virtually no limits to what water jets are capable of cutting.

AMS offers greater efficiency and productivity by implementing water-jet cutting in our operations. Ultrahigh-pressure water jets at 60,000 psi utilize power, speed, and versatility to efficiently cut even the most intricate parts from a wide variety of materials.

AMS can rapidly cut soft materials such as rubber, cork, carpet, paperboards, and foams. We can switch from a delicate material to an abrasive water jet capable of cutting hard materials such as metals, plastics, composites, stone, glass, and ceramics with no heat-affected zone and obtain superior edge quality, in an instant.

Water jets require minimal fixturing and no tooling so you save money over labor-intensive setup or expensive tool costs. Water jets also cut an accurate, clean edge that allows for tight nesting so less scrap material is produced which increases yield and reduces your cost.
