Waterjet cuts large aluminum plate
With its waterjet work envelopes measuring up to 15 feet by 15 feet, LAI is capable of handling material in sizes much larger than standard sheet and plate sizes. The large tables of LAI's
waterjet workstations help save time and money by eliminating the need to cut materials into smaller pieces prior to waterjet machining. Using large sheet sizes also increases the nesting of parts per square inch.
The waterjet nozzle rounds a corner as it cuts the 1-inch thick aluminum plate.
Abrasive waterjets operating at pressures of more than 55,000 p.s.i. are practically unlimited in cutting thick materials. LAI International, Inc. operates abrasive waterjets that can cut thick material, including titanium up to 15 inches thick.
