ABLE’s Precision Water Jet Cutting Services for Advanced Industrial Needs
In industries where precision is critical, even small material changes can lead to costly issues. That’s why manufacturers turn to ABLE’s water jet cutting services, offering damage-free cuts with no heat or pressure stress. It’s especially effective for handling layered, sensitive, or thick materials that demand tight tolerances. With over 50 years in custom converting solutions, ABLE pairs deep material expertise with advanced machinery to deliver results clients can trust.
What is Water Jet Cutting?
Water jet cutting is a manufacturing process used to cut materials through a high-pressure stream of water, which may also be mixed with abrasive materials, usually garnet. The technique does not produce heat-affected zones, unlike laser or die cutting, alleviating the possibility of warping, melting, or affecting material properties.
It’s especially valuable for cutting thick, soft, or heat-sensitive materials—making it ideal for composites, rubber, foam, plastics, glass, and even metals like aluminum and stainless steel.
Sustainability and Waste Reduction
The water jet cutting process at ABLE is not only accurate, but it is also eco-friendly. Its accuracy reduces the wastage of raw materials in the form of scraps and facilitates the efficient utilization of materials used. It minimizes environmental impact and provides the highest-quality outcomes since it does not need toxic chemicals or high-energy heat sources, because it uses water, as well as optional abrasives. It is a great option that can be used by manufacturers seeking to achieve defined performance and sustainability objectives.
Industry Applications
Automotive
The water jet cutting provided by ABLE can be perfect for manufacturing precision parts that are utilized in cars. The typical use scenarios include insulation pads, soundproofing layers, and engine gaskets. The procedure also guarantees quality control even in the production of complicated designs and products made of multiple layers.
Medical Devices
In the medical field, material cleanliness and accuracy are critical. ABLE produces medical-grade foams, pads, and sterile packaging inserts with water jet cutting to avoid contamination and material stress. This non-thermal process supports strict hygiene and regulatory requirements.
Aerospace
In aerospace, light high-performance materials are common, and in such cases, special attention is needed during the cutting process. Precise composite parts and gaskets can also be cut using the water jet cutting technology offered by ABLE, with no damage done to the material structure. It is a perfect solution for parts that require strict tolerances.
Electronics
For electronic devices, shielding and insulation materials must be precisely cut and dimensionally stable. Through clean and precise cutting, ABLE manufactures EMI/RFI shielding components and non-conductive insulators. This guarantees predictable performance in a multilayered or compact assembly.
ABLE’s Approach to Water Jet Cutting
Designed for Non-Thermal Integrity
Retention of the original characteristics of a material is crucial across numerous sectors and applications, including in aerospace and healthcare. Water jet cutting at ABLE does not require heat or mechanical stress, and materials are left with their performance properties unchanged. Be it a medical cushion foam or a critical metal part, all the cuts are done as carefully as possible to avoid distortion or damage. This emphasis on integrity has enabled it to provide reliable results for sensitive applications.
Scalable Accuracy
Whether it is first-time prototypes of high-volume products, ABLE provides consistent and dependable results. Our CNC-driven water jet machineries quickly adjust to any changes in specifications without compromising tolerances in any of the batches. This accuracy reduces the rework, lead-time, and enhances manufacturing efficiency. Regardless of quantity, the quality will be the same.
Versatility Across Industries
The abilities of ABLE go much beyond cutting. We have intertwined their water jet solutions with other related services like laminating and slitting and clean room processing. This end-to-end strategy simplifies the production process and allows working with a smaller number of suppliers and less risk to quality. This results in clients having an easier workflow, quicker turnaround, and better end products.
Experience That Cuts Through the Noise
Many years in the industry have enabled ABLE to gain insights into the needs of sensitive, high-performance materials. The combination of technical expertise, speed, and problem-solving makes their team capable of addressing projects of any scope, whether it is a one-off prototype or high-level production. Clients not only get the benefit of accurate cutting, but also effective advice during the process of converting. It is this combination of ability and customer orientation that ensures that ABLE remains in top form within the industry.
