Waterjet Cutting

Water jet cutting is a term which in general covers two topics: "WaterJet cutting" and "Abrasive cutting". Technically speaking WaterJet cutting uses only pure water, pressurised to 60,000psi and forced through a jewel with an aperture of around 0.1mm.

Abrasive cutting is a similar concept but at the moment before the water hits the material it is mixed with an abrasive. The combination of pressure and abrasive quickly blast through the material with a cut width of between 0.8-1mm depending on the thickness of the material.

We have provided a wide range of waterjet cutting services to many industries including Nuclear Industries, Shipyards, Aerospace, Military, Automotive, Artistic & Architectural and Food Idustries.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting is a more obvious process. A highly concentrated beam of light melts a path through the material and an assist gas blows away any molten debris away from the cut edge leaving a narrow and clean cut.

Since April 2010, Yorkshire Profiles Ltd have officially been providing a detailed laser cutting process to new and existing customers and around 2/3 of our machine's regular work was transferred over to our new laser cutting machine.

Providing an alternative cutting method to our existing clients means we now ensure an even faster turnaround time on all our cutting services.

The combination of our waterjet and laser cutting equipment means we are able to cut virtually all materials up to a thickness of 200mm.

Machines

Our new Amada F1 CNC Laser Profiling machine with linear drive can reach phenomenal cutting speeds whilst maintaining a high quality cut and accuracy to 0.1mm.

Our Water Jet Sweden compact waterjet cutting machine has been running for several years reliably and maintaining accuracies up to 0.1mm.

With these machines in place this have enabled us to cut a vast range of materials.

Materials we have cut to date include:

Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Zintec, Galvanised, Brass, Copper, Bronze, Glass, Woods, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Acrylics, Hardox, Iron, Titanium, Rubbers, Plastics, Foam, Fibreglass,
Non-Metallic, Stone, Marble, Ceramics, and Turf
