Best-In-Class Waterjet Capabilities

Denver Rubber Company’s production facility features three waterjets. DRC offers precision waterjet cutting services utilizing the new Wardjet 2543-5 dual-head five-axis cutter and the X-1530 waterjet. Our state-of-the-art waterjet cutters provide the speed and precise cutting technique that allow both cost efficiency and faster production.

The new Wardjet 2543-5 waterjet cutter is a revolutionary leap in waterjet cutting technology. It incorporates a five-axis cutter that provides the traditional X-axis (back and forth), Y-axis (left and right) and Z-axis (up and down) of older waterjet cutters and adds a second A -axis that angles the cutting head from the perpendicular and a C-axis that rotates around the Z-axis.

TheWardjet 2543-5 cutter uses the latest advances in motion and control technology to provide world-class precision cutting. It’s ideal for cutting precise metallic gaskets and other metal products.

Wardjet 2543-5 Waterjet Cutter Capabilities

2543-5:
Five-axis cutting opens up three-dimensional cutting abilities at angles from 0° to 90°

• Five-axis cutting for three-dimensional cutting abilities at angles from 0° to 90°
• Speeds up to 2,000 in./min.
• 12″ to 24″ vertical travel capacity on Z-axis
• An Infini Winder cutting head offers positioning accuracies of ± 0.0166 degrees (± 1 arc minute), the most accurate of all five-axis cutting heads
• Wide cutting angle from 0° vertical to 90° horizontal

Capabilities
Can cut 10″ thick stainless steel. It can cut even thicker material (18″ thick Titanium) if the application demands it.

Sheet Size
4’x8′, 5’x10′, 6’x12′

Waterjet Cutting Advantages

WaterJet Cutting offers many advantages including:

• Cuts virtually any material
• Cold cutting – no heat affected zones, and no hardening
• Omni-directional cutting – ability to cut in any direction
• Perforates most materials without starting holes
• Net-shape or near-net-shape parts (no secondary processing required in many applications)
• Environmentally friendly
• Reduces dust and hazardous gases
• Provides stress-free cutting
• Saves raw materials (small cutting kerf width, nesting capabilities)
• Faster than many conventional cutting tools
