CUSTOM APPLICATIONS: SCREEN CLOTH

Much of what we do for the military/defense market is proprietary in nature. We are unable to divulge facts or photographs of these parts.

waterjet cutting used in military projects

This simple flange assembly is just one of many things that we typically cut. What sets it apart is the wire screen, which needed to be precisely fabricated. The aluminum wire screen had to be cut to shape and bolt holes had to be drilled; plus, the finished part had to be burr and distortion free. To try and produce this screen by any other method would have resulted in a rejected part or would have required special set-up jigs to hold the material. Waterjet cutting was the preferred method for these parts because it eliminated all of the potential problems and possible danger to an operator in the fabrication process.
