Abrasive waterjet cutting of stacked material.

Our waterjet cutting services also include the cutting of stacked material and laminated material. When using the abrasive waterjet cutting process on stacked material we can optimize output by cutting several inches of material in one pass. When waterjet cutting laminated material we are able to cut through multiple layers of different material in one pass.

Edge Quality

Our waterjet cutting services provide the best possible edge quality because the process does not introduce any heat or mechanical stress. There is no heat affected zone (HAZ) and in many cases the edge finish can be used as is without the need for removal or finishing of the edge.

Narrow Kerf

We exclusively use Flow waterjet machines and they are known not only for their accuracy but also for their minimal kerfs. The waterjet stream is so narrow that the resulting kerf is only about .040” This allows for us to maximize your material usage, reduce scrap and save you money.

  • Main advantages of using abrasive waterjet on aerospace alloys.
  • Here is no heat affected zone
  • There is no thermal distortion
  • There are no burrs
  • It is a very fast cutting process
  • Material up to 11” thick can be cut
  • Tolerances of .003” to .005” can be held
  • Fast programming and easy machine setup

If you own a rotary screw compressor and have been faced with the high cost of a factory Airend, you now have a better choice. CMS Airends is one of the largest aftermarket airend rebuilders in the world and has been servicing and rebuilding rotary screw compressor airends since 1977. Our 20,000 square foot facility houses the latest equipment for compressor screw rebuilds. We maintain a complete airend machine shop, fabrication shop, welding shop, and metalizing shop.

Energy costs are rising, and air is a big consumer of energy. If an airend losses efficiency it directly translates into higher energy consumption and thousands of dollars. Your airend is a critical component of your compressed air system.
