· Tolerances:+/-0.005" on most parts. By running slower feed rates, certain parts the tolerance can be +/-0.002".
· Minimum hole size of 0.090" diameter on waterjet, 0.020 with laser depending on material thickness and type.
· Square inside corner geometry will cut to a 0.020" radius on waterjet and .005 on laser.
· Larger inside or outside radius corner will cut slightly faster (less cost) on waterjet
· Maximum material thickness is 8" with waterjet and .625 steel, .500 SS, and .250 AL with laser machine.
· Maximum sheet size that can be cut is 6' x 12' on waterjet, 5 x 10 on laser machine.
A small tab will be left on part to hold the part in the sheet and keep the part from tipping. Make a note on where a tab will not interfere with part function.
Best Method: |
E-mail a 2D DXF file or IGES file. Include in the email; part quantity and material. |
DXF file tips:
|
· Only include the part geometry that will be waterjet cut (perimeter and through holes/cut-outs), no dimensions, notes etc. needed. No splines – use arcs and lines to make the drawing, splines don’t work.
· Add a 1" x 1" square with an "X" in it near the part geometry, this is used to check scaling.
· Double check for broken or overlapping geometry.
For best pricing make your own nest and send. Leave a minimum of .200 in between parts and .500 border around sheet edges. 5 x 10 maximum nest size for laser, 6 x 12 with waterjet. |
Note: |
If your part will require additional machining or forming other than just waterjet cutting, include a PDF file of the dimensioned part drawing. |
PDF file tips:
|
· Generate a PDF file of your part drawing from your CAD software.
· Standard 3 view shop drawing, which can be printed out on our end.
· The drawing would have all the needed dimensions (in inches), tolerances, and notes to make the part from.
|
Acceptable: |
E-mail, Fax, or send Drawings/Sketches. An actual part could be shipped to us. |
Note: |
Clean DXF files will normally incur no additional programming costs. However programming from part, drawing, or description may incur additional programming costs. |
