Precision Engineering and Water Jet Cutting Applications


Lone Star LWD Precision Engineering is a world leader in ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjet cutting technology. Lone Star LWD has opted for 100hp Streamline SL-V 100 manufactured by KMT. This powerful, reliable pump will allow us to cut thicker, tougher metals much more effectively, thus making the process extremely competitive when competing against more traditional profiling methods.

Waterjet Cutting Applications
Waterjets cut everything from bread, fudge brownies and cherries to rubber gaskets, diapers, carpets and so on. Waterjets also are an excellent alternative for cutting soft materials that are flat to smashing when cut with traditional cutting devices.

Abrasivejet Cutting Applications
Abrasivejets or abrasive water jets (also commonly referred to as waterjets) uses a combination of water and garnet to cut through materials considered “unmachinable” by conventional cutting methods. The ability to pierce through material also eliminates the need and cost of drilling starter holes. Abrasivejets provide extremely accurate cuts with a high degree of repeatability over a wide range of materials and shapes that gives a strong hold to the precision engineering company. Abrasive waterjets are ideal for cutting metals, stone, ceramic tile, glass, plastic and other hard materials.

Water Jet Surface Preparation, Cleaning and Coating Removal
Waterjet surface preparation, ultra-high pressure (UHP) cleaning and coating removal equipment is used in a wide variety of applications, from cleaning ship hulls, decks and fish holds down to bare metal, to blasting away old highway lines and removing corrosion from parts.

  1. Thanks for this lucrative post.With so many advantages on hand, the method seems to be best for weak Steel Profiles
    that can otherwise be destroyed or deformed by other methods due to heat associated with almost all others forms of metal work
