CNC Waterjet with at Twist

Bad economy? Give your business an attitude adjustment, literally. Two dimensional plate cutting will always be an important market for CNC Waterjets. But we live in a three-dimensional world. With the explosion of low cost solid modeling software, the demand for high quality three-dimensional shape cutting is quickly rising. Future markets will certainly require both 2D and 3D cutting, so the rush is for fabricators to get their first. Unlike laser, plasma and routers which cut relatively thin sections, ultra high-pressure waterjets have the ability to cut very thick sections in virtually any material. That is important when cutting at an angle. The variable attitude can make beautiful curves in all sorts of parts. Typical examples are large gate valves, holes in oilfield pipe, foam shipping containers, etc.

For nearly a quarter century, Fort Worth based Romeo Engineering Inc. has manufactured waterjets and industrial automation. Romeo Engineering Inc. been responsible for many of the innovations that make waterjets easy to use and cost effective today. Three-dimension jetting is definitely more complex than conventional jetting, but with Romeo Engineering's 5-axis model (patent pending), it is easy to cut very complex 3-D profiles in virtually any material. It has full range of motion from vertical to horizontal attitudes, and can make a full rotation in one fluid motion without stopping. It is the most rigid design available and requires little calibration because of the nozzle design.

Superior accuracy, reliability and simplicity are key. Romeo Engineering Inc. uses the world's largest grinders to manufacture their machinery. The refined elegant design means it will not develop backlash, never have loose areas and tight spots and rarely require laser calibration to compensate for wear. Plus, the control architecture is designed around future growth. Using USA standard G-code means that new software innovations developed by CAD/CAM developers can be available to you. Proprietary software, as offered by competitors, limits you to their internal development efforts when the next operating system is released.

Romeo Engineering Inc. is dedicated to offer the most extensive product line of high-pressure waterjet technology available. More than XY tables, we also offer a vast selection of definite purpose waterjet to meet your specific needs including extrusion cut-off waterjets, explosion proof waterjets, high-pressure petrochemical test chambers, ordnance demilitarization waterjets, as well as waterjet/lathe combinations.
