Waterjet technology is a computerized cutting technology that we use to cut materials into two dimensional shapes. The materials most commonly used in this method are marble, granite, porcelain, ceramic, linoleum, sports flooring, vinyl, and all metals. Waterjet cutting does not heat, harden, or distort metals, and cleanly and efficiently cuts stone, ceramics, and porcelains.
Anything that can be drawn on a computer can be cut by waterjet. Many materials like stone, porcelain, and stainless steel cannot economically be cut into complex shapes in any other way. A unique fabrication process for architectural and industrial applications, this technology is an affordable cutting technique for stone which allows for cutting intricate designs that otherwise would be not achievable economically.
Waterjet enables us to cut through many materials that would otherwise be considered unmachinable by other fabrication methods such as plasma torches, routers, electrical discharge machines, and laser cutting. Depending on the material, thickness and intricacy of the cut, the savings compared to traditional cutting methods can be substantial. Waterjet can be an alternative to casting forged blanks.
The waterjet has shown that it can do things that other technologies simply cannot. From cutting whisper thin details in stone, glass and metals; to rapid hole drilling of titanium; to cutting of food, to the killing of pathogens in beverages and dips, the waterjet has proven itself unique.
HezRock designs and fabricates a variety of architectural and industrial products using its high technology computer-controlled waterjet cutting process. This technology emerged in the mid 1980's as an affordable alternative cutting technique for stone with significant competitive advantages over traditional cutting methods.
