Cross-section of actual ring

The 5-axis waterjet cutting process is ideal for aero and industrial gas turbine compressor rings and steam turbine diaphragm bands. The edge produced by waterjet cutting is clean and burr free, making it ideal for subsequent brazing or welding operations.

Our 5 and 6 axis machines can eliminate taper when cutting thick material giving you precise straight cuts even through varying cross sections. We can even provide precise, consistent weld prep bevels in any geometry making assembly operations quicker and easier.
