Waterjet Cutting Services in Phoenix, AZ
At Magnum Companies, we provide professional waterjet cutting services in Phoenix, AZ for projects requiring accurate cuts, complex shapes, and clean edges across a wide range of materials. Our Omax 80X waterjet uses a high-pressure stream of water and abrasive to cut material without introducing heat, making the process ideal for components where maintaining material integrity and minimizing distortion are important.
This is commonly used for custom fabrication, architectural metalwork, structural components, decorative panels, precision parts, and specialized components that require intricate profiles and consistent results. Our team works with project drawings and specifications to produce components ready for fabrication, assembly, and installation.
Advanced Waterjet Cutting Technology
Magnum Companies operates an Omax 80X waterjet equipped with an A-Jet cutting head, providing advanced cutting capabilities for both standard and complex applications.
The A-Jet system allows our team to perform angled and beveled cuts while compensating for the natural kerf created during the cutting process. This technology helps produce accurate components with clean edges and improved fit-up during fabrication and assembly.
Our waterjet cutting capabilities include:
- Precision straight and profile cutting
- Beveled and angled cuts
- Kerf compensation
- Complex shapes and detailed profiles
- Consistent 90-degree edges when required
- Large-format component cutting
By combining advanced waterjet technology with experienced fabrication professionals, we can select the appropriate cutting approach based on the material, thickness, geometry, and requirements of each project.
Large Capacity & Versatile Cutting
Our waterjet cutting equipment provides the capacity to produce both intricate components and large-format parts.
We can process material sheets up to:
- 156″ long
- 68″ wide
Waterjet cutting is particularly useful for applications involving thick materials, complex geometries, tight tolerances, or materials that may be affected by heat during conventional cutting processes.
Because the process uses a cold cutting method, waterjet cutting does not create the same heat-affected zone associated with thermal cutting processes. This helps minimize heat-related warping, distortion, and changes to the material.
Materials for Waterjet Cutting
One of the major advantages of waterjet cutting is its ability to process a wide variety of materials.
Depending on project requirements, waterjet cutting can be used for materials including:
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Bronze
- Copper
- Other specialty metals and materials
The appropriate cutting process depends on the material type, thickness, geometry, and finished component requirements. Our team can help determine whether waterjet cutting is the right solution for a particular project.
Applications of Waterjet Cutting
Waterjet cutting provides flexibility for both functional and decorative components. The ability to produce intricate profiles and large-format parts makes it useful across a wide range of fabrication applications.
Common applications include:
Custom Fabrication Components
Waterjet cutting can produce brackets, plates, mounting components, structural parts, templates, and other custom components designed around specific project requirements.
Architectural Metalwork
Architects and designers can use waterjet cutting to create custom panels, screens, patterns, decorative elements, and architectural features with complex profiles or detailed designs.
Structural Components
Waterjet cutting can produce accurately profiled plates, connection components, gussets, brackets, and other structural parts used in commercial and industrial fabrication.
Decorative Panels & Designs
Intricate patterns, logos, artistic elements, and custom designs can be cut directly from metal to create distinctive architectural and decorative features.
Large-Format Parts
Our large cutting area allows us to process oversized components without requiring multiple smaller pieces to be joined together, depending on the project design and material requirements.
Waterjet Cutting for Custom Fabrication
Waterjet cutting is often used as one part of a larger fabrication process. After cutting, components may be formed, machined, welded, assembled, or finished depending on the requirements of the project.
At Magnum Companies, our in-house fabrication capabilities allow waterjet-cut components to move directly into additional manufacturing processes when required.
This makes waterjet cutting an effective solution for projects involving:
- Custom metal fabrication
- Architectural metalwork
- Structural assemblies
- Industrial components
- Decorative metalwork
- Public art fabrication
- Custom production parts
Keeping multiple capabilities in-house helps streamline communication and maintain quality throughout the fabrication process.
