Equipment

We can cut through almost any material of any thickness, including 4-inch stainless steel. And, unlike laser, EDM or plasma – based processes, our high pressure (50,000 psi) water stream cuts without the thermal distortion which can result in material fatigue or failure. Plus, waterjet cutting leaves a burr-free edge so little or no additional finishing is required. We use a robotically-controlled machine which gives us the freedom to cut configurations in most 3-dimensional composite parts. We can work from your prints, drawings, DXF or IGES files, or we can design a cutting pattern from scratch from your specifications.

The LT3000 is a highly flexible twin-spindle turning center in the 8-inch chuck class. This turning center has the ability to combine the upper and lower turrets with either spindle. The machine enables process flexibility, very high feature utilization, and the ability to complete the greatest amount of primary and secondary machining possible in one compact unit. The turning center can be setup in a variety of different configurations to maximize our customers’ specific circumstance. Three turrets provide best production throughput and integrated operations. This multi-function horizontal twin-spindle machine integrates lathe and mill/drill functions on all turrets. Many tool stations are available for either mill or lathe function.

The VF-3YT/50 provides the heavy cutting capacity of a 50-taper machine in a mid-size footprint. It has 6″ more Y-axis travel than the standard VF-3. A larger base casting provides the extended Y-axis travel, yet the machine’s footprint is only slightly larger than the standard VF-3. Heavy cast-iron construction yields the rigidity and stability necessary for heavy cutting, and the wide T-slot table provides plenty of room for fixturing and large parts.

Our VBH 4-roll plate bending rolls represent the pinnacle of expertise. The VBH excels in both cylindrical and conical bending, making it the ideal machine for diverse applications.

Key features of the VBH rolls include a greater bottom roller pinching force for short flat ends and optimal pre-bending, along with a higher drive torque for a single pass process, enhancing productivity. This winning combination delivers top-tier performance for those seeking the highest level of efficiency and precision.

The E-TURN52 Bending Machine from BLM GROUP delivers highly efficient and precise bending for tubes up to 3.0″ in diameter. It eliminates the limitations of fixed radii, bend orientation, and bend direction. Capable of forming pre-processed tubing with slots and holes, the E-TURN series offers the flexibility to shape each part to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent quality.

This is Rivercity Industries’ 12′ long 235 ton press. Capable of bending up to 8′ of 3/8″ thick steel plate. This machine is 5 axis CNC controlled with fully independent back gauges, a sheet metal follower for larger panels, and hydraulic clamping by Wila Tooling for quick setup and tool changes.

Mazak’s SPACE GEAR-U 44 offers high-speed 2D processing of sheet metal and plate, 3D cutting of pre-formed parts, and 3D-rotary cutting of tubes, pipes, and structural materials. It is ideal for fabrication job shops seeking to diversify, parts suppliers of hydro-formed or stamped parts, and machine shops machining thick plates or tubing.

In rotary mode, the SG-U 44 cuts 2D and 3D shapes in tubes, including rectangular, round, and triangular pipes, as well as C, H, I, and L-beams within a 6.0-inch diameter. The 5-axis torch and controlled chuck enable precise angle cuts, weld-prep bevels, and advanced contours in one operation. The 64-bit control features illustrated fill-in-the-blank screens to quickly program complex cuts.

The 3-D CO2 laser tube cutting machine cuts tube diameters up to 8.625 in. and a bar weight up to 1,000 lbs. The unit, equipped with a tilting, +/-45-degree head, provides for 5-axis cutting and ultrahigh-speed piercing, allowing for complex cutting on most tube profiles.

The machine incorporates Active Focus, a technology that adjusts beam focal position. This technology can reduce pierce times up to 30 percent and improve tilt cutting speeds, the company states. The system has up to 40-ft. loading capabilities and clean tube technology for processing of stainless steel.
