Advanced Technology Supply, Inc. has partnered with Stockwell Elastomerics to provide water jet cutting services to our customers. Our two-axis water jet cutting machinery can accurately slice through thick, low durometer solid or sponge materials without the edge concavity usually associated with steel rule die cutting. Moreover, the edges of thick materials are never scorched, unlike what can occur with some laser burning processes. Water jet cutting can even cut adhesive backings with clean shapes.
Our water jet cutting operations eliminate the need for tooling.
Therefore, water jet cutting can quicken lead times and save initial costs, particularly if your design is unproven. We can even provide rapid initial prototypes, especially when supplied with electronic drawing files. With our water jet cutting technology, we can cut washers as small as .25 of an inch and other parts as small as .5 of an inch square.
Meeting the needs of multiple industries, from semiconductor to automotive, our ISO compliant water jet cutting operations meet military specifications and can manage all low volume production jobs within a quick turnaround period. We are better suited for low to medium-volume production with this service.
