Precision Cutting for
Extraordinary Results
At Pearl River Glass Studio, our advanced water jet cutting technology allows us to achieve unparalleled precision in every project. Whether you’re working with glass, stone, metal, or other materials, our water jet services offer cutting-edge solutions that bring your designs to life with exacting detail. From intricate shapes to large-scale projects, we handle it all with the same commitment to craftsmanship that defines our work. Our water jet services are trusted by artists, architects, and designers looking to turn complex visions into stunning realities.
Waterjet machining has been around for decades and is one of the fastest growing machining processes today. Its ease of use and its ability to cut almost any material while maintaining high precision make it suitable for a wide variety of applications. The water is pressurized to 50,000 p.s.i. and passes through a small-diameter diamond orifice to form a coherent jet of water. The jet then passes through a venturi section where a metered amount of granular abrasive is drawn into the water stream. The mixture of water and abrasive particles passes through a special ceramic mixing tube and the resulting abrasive/water slurry exits the nozzle as a focused stream of abrasive particles travelling at supersonic speed.
Why Choose Our
Water Jet Services?
The awesome power of the waterjet cutting apparatus is only half the story. The cutting head is mounted onto a computer controlled, servo driven boom that travels in three directions that conform to the Cartesian coordinate system (an x, y, and z axis). To put this in simple terms, an outline (vector) drawing of the object is created in a CAD program. This drawing is then translated into a code the machine understands. The machine uses this code to create a tool path for the cutting head to follow. The stock material is secured to the work surface and machining begins. This “table” is a series of slats suspended over the water-filled catcher tank which dissipates the energy of the abrasive jet as it cuts through the material being machined.
The most important benefit of the waterjet cutter is its ability to cut material without interfering with the material’s inherent structure as there is no “heat affected zone” or HAZ. This allows metals, stone, plastics and glass to be cut without harming or changing their intrinsic properties.
