Cutting of plates and components – waterjet cutting for industry
We cut plates and components according to drawings, measurements or digital files in metal, engineering plastics, composites, rubber and a variety of other materials. With waterjet cutting, we can produce everything from individual components and prototypes to series – with high precision and without the influence of heat.
Precise cutting without heat effects
Waterjet cutting provides precise cuts without a heat-affected zone, preserving the material's properties around the cutting edge.
Many material types
We cut steel, stainless steel, aluminum, technical plastics, composites, rubber, ceramics and a variety of other materials.
Up to 100 mm thickness
We have the capacity to waterjet cut materials with a thickness of up to 100 mm, depending on the material and desired result.
Cutting table 3 × 3 meters
With a 3 × 3 meter cutting table and two cutting heads, we can produce both smaller components and larger parts.
What is waterjet cutting, and why choose it?
Waterjet cutting is a flexible cutting method where water under very high pressure is used to cut sheets and components with high precision. With abrasive we can cut through steel, stainless steel, aluminum, engineering plastics, composites and a variety of other materials.
The method adds minimal heat to the material and is therefore well suited when parts are to be produced from a drawing or digital file without heat or deformation. Waterjet cutting can be used for everything from a single spare part or prototype to larger series of finished workpieces and components.
Cutting metal, plastic, composite and other materials
We can water cut almost all types of materials – from metals and plastics to advanced composites.
The method makes it possible to cut both soft and hard materials with high precision without heat effects or deformation.
This makes waterjet cutting ideal for both prototypes and series production.
Materials we can water cut
- Metals: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, brass and bronze
- Engineering plastics: POM-C, PA6, PE-HD, PVC, polycarbonate, PEEK, PTFE and more technical polymers
- Composite and special materials: carbon fiber, fiberglass, Scancot, rubber and ceramics
- Other materials: foam, wood and stone-like materials
Note: Tempered glass cannot be water cut, as the material will crack during the cutting process.
Long experience with waterjet cutting
Scanco has been performing waterjet cutting since 2001 and supplies waterjet components for a variety of industrial applications. With a 3 x 3 meter cutting table, two cutting heads and capacity for material thicknesses up to 100 mm, we can handle both smaller components and larger workpieces.
We can cut directly from the customer's drawing or DXF file, and also assist with preparing cutting bases when needed.
Precise cutting of sheets and complex components
- High precision
- Minimal heat impact
- Environmentally friendly
- Versatility
From drawing to finished carved part
If you have a drawing, DXF file or an existing part that needs to be replaced, Scanco can assist with the production of new blanks and components. We cut both individual components and series, and can deliver the parts as cut blanks or combine waterjet cutting with further machining when finished tolerances, holes, threads or other machined details are needed.
Why choose Scanco AS for waterjet cutting?
Scanco has been performing waterjet cutting since 2001 and combines extensive experience with our own production capacity. We cut components directly from drawings or DXF files and can, if necessary, combine waterjet cutting with further machining in our own workshop. This gives us the flexibility to deliver both individual components, prototypes and series to industrial customers.
Precision and quality
We water cut components directly from drawings or DXF files with high precision and without heat affecting the material.
Flexible production
We cut both individual components and series in a wide range of materials and thicknesses, with the possibility of further processing in our own workshop.
