Waterjet Cutting available in the South of England.

Water jet cutting, also know as waterjet cutting or water sawing, is a flexible process of cutting virtually any material using a jet of water at high pressure, or a mixture of water and an abrasive agent.
In many sitations during fabrication and manufacture, waterjet is the preferred method of cutting in applications from mining, through to telecoms and aerospace, where it is used for cutting, shaping carving and reaming.
The key benefit of the water jet cutter over other cutting types is the ability to cut material without interfering with the materials structure as there is not heat-affected zone.

ICEE's fabrication department utilises one of the most up-to-date waterjet cutting systems in the UK and offers a fast, efficient sub-contract cutting service.

The capability to cut intricate shapes utilising cold cutting techniques that are without thermal influences, heat distortion, edge hardening or heat effected zones of virtually any materials.

Cutting Capacity:

4000mm  x 2000mm x 200mm thickness

We can allow for tight nesting and reduced scrap - saving you money through greater material utilization.

The benefits of waterjet profile cutting:

• No heat-affected zone (HAZ), distortion or mechanical stresses
• Quick set up times - express service available
• Automatic engraving option
• No restriction on cutting polished or reflective materials
• Reduces or eliminates secondary cleaning operations
• No tool costs
• Intricate designs are easily created with very high accuracy
• All machining undertaken within a single set up
• Material-saving production due to reduced cutting width and tight nesting

Providing cutting services for many different industrial sectors including:

• Precision engineering
• Shipbuilding
• Automobile and automobile supplies industries
• Aircraft and spacecraft industries
• M.O.D. & defence
• Construction and interior decoration industries amongst others.

The range of materials that can be cut efficiently by water jet is almost limitless, however the following provides a brief guide to just some of those included:
