CASE STUDIES
Real Customers. Real Impact.
Case Study
Oldcastle Building Envelope Case Study
Summary: Oldcastle Building Envelope engaged Jet Edge to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs in abrasive waterjet glass cutting, while maintaining the stringent precision and finish quality their customers demand. Jet Edge validated performance with test cuts across common glass types and thicknesses, optimizing pierce routines, abrasive usage, and feed rates before configuring the production system.
Key Result: Jet Edge delivered faster cut times with controlled piercing and optimized abrasive flow, which improved throughput and reduced consumable usage. The configured Edge X3 Mid Rail system was implemented with proven parameters to meet Oldcastle’s production requirements and quality standards.
Case Study
Contract Waterjet Cutting Case Study
Summary: A Midwest contract cutting operation upgraded to a Jet Edge High Rail motion system with multiple abrasive heads and a large cutting envelope to maximize precision and productivity across diverse materials and part sizes.
Key Result: The operation achieved high accuracy with an isolated catch tank design and increased throughput by utilizing multiple cutting heads on a large-format motion system. This configuration allowed the team to process a wide range of jobs efficiently while maintaining consistent cut quality.
