Jet Edge to install waterjet system at Jacquet West

Jet Edge Inc., St. Michael, Minn., has announced that it will install a waterjet cutting system at the Jacquet West metal processing facility in Carson, Calif. The midrail gantry system is Jacquet’s 12th Jet Edge waterjet nationwide and second at this facility.

The system features a 12- by 21-ft. table that enables the metal service center to process 8- by 20-ft. or 10- by 20-ft. plates. Powered by a 60,000-PSI, 100-HP Jet Edge iP60-100 intensifier pump, the ball screw-driven waterjet system has +/- 0.001-in. repeatability and features dual independent cutting heads to double production. The system also has submerged or above-water cutting capabilities, as well as height-sensing capabilities to react to inconsistent plate height.

Jacquet supplies and processes stainless steel and nickel alloys for OEMs, fabricators, and machine shops.
