Sterling Precision Machining, Inc. utilizes a Flow IFB abrasive waterjet cutting system which allows us to cut into various materials. Abrasive waterjets use ultra-high-pressure water, 60,000 psi, with an entrained garnet mixture to provide a very effective cutting media.
The cold process does not create a heat-affected zone. This zone will be found in parts cut with either laser or plasma systems and can have a dramatic effect on any processes performed after cutting on final application.
Our 2 waterjet cutting systems have the capability of maintaining tolerances of 0.010” throughout the cut, with no taper along the cut edge. Our waterjet cutting process can be performed on almost any material up to 6’ by 12‘ and 10” thick including paper, aluminum, steel, solid carbide and more.
