WJ-155 Waterjet System

The Huffman WJ-155 Multi-Axis Abrasive Waterjet System provides increased precision, reliability and operating convenience for a wide variety of applications. This system economically produces high-quality, burr- and dust-free cuts in any direction for complex, near-net shapes in metals, composites, glass and man-made fibers.

The Huffman Waterjet System offers a high return on investment through a shorter setup time, reduced cycle time, elimination of secondary inspections needed with laser and EDM machines, no material deformation or heat-affected zones and no delamination between the thermal barrier coating and substrate.

The Huffman abrasive cutting head and metering systems are the best in the industry. Our nozzle assembly maintains a precise, repeatable position. Huffman's advanced metering system supplies an even, consistent flow through our CNC controller. And using Huffman's vision software, locating and reopening turbine component holes are made easier and more precise.
