Case Study
Partners in Aerospace Case Study
Summary: A premier aerospace supplier needed a reliable cutting solution for super-alloy materials like Inconel, capable of extreme precision and complex geometries for producing tremendously high-value flight hardware. Jet Edge delivered a custom high rail gantry system with 5-axis cutting, redundant intensifiers, and closed-loop filtration.
Key Result: The system handled a test part with more than 7,000 hexagonal features cut on a contoured surface, beating the required feature-to-feature tolerance of .003” and demonstrating capabilities to dependably run in excess of a 40-hour cycle-time without failure. After the first machine was commissioned, real production success led the customer to acquire 2 additional similarly configured machines that are a cornerstone of their operational capabilities today.
Case Study
Progressive Surface Case Study
Summary: Progressive Surface, a leader in advanced cleaning technologies, partnered with Jet Edge to provide durable, ultra-high-pressure pumps, and a wide variety of accessory parts needed to power its waterjet stripping, cleaning, and blasting systems. These systems remove coatings, and contaminants from aerospace and industrial components using ultra-high-pressure water, eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals and abrasive blasting.
Key Result: Delivered safe, efficient cleaning for hard and soft coatings, reduced environmental impact, and improved throughput for MRO operations.
