Colorado WaterJet Adds Five-Axis WaterJet Capabilities

Business Provides State-of-the-Art Material Shaping Services to Customers

Berthoud, Colo. – Colorado WaterJet Company (CWJ), the leader in abrasive waterjet shape cutting in Colorado, announces the addition of new, state-of-the-art 5-axis waterjet technology to its precision machining and fabrication services. The company’s latest machine, the Mach 4C WaterJet from Flow, features the most advanced technology in the industry, and provides the most accurate bevel and 3D cutting capabilities available.

“This machine, combined with our highly-trained and experienced staff, gives us the most advanced material-shaping capabilities in Colorado,” says CWJ President Dan Nibbelink.

The Flow Mach 4c’s 5-axis capabilities provide up to 60 degrees of motion, which means faster, more intricate precision cutting of any shape, including interior cuts. The machine is capable of shaping virtually any composite material, regardless of thickness, including stone, steel, aluminum, tile, rubber foam and glass.

Overall, waterjet technology is more advanced and cost effective than comparative cutting technologies like band saws and lasers. The cold cutting process requires no heat and eliminates hardened edges, slag and warping. It allows for close nesting of parts for efficient use of material that reduces waste. The computerized, numerically controlled system significantly improves turnaround time and eliminates cutting and processing errors associated with non-waterjet systems.

“This technology is versatile, and opens up many possibilities to our clients in various industries because we can offer highly precise machining of almost any material in any shape or size,” says Nibbelink.
