Waterjet and CNC Trimming

Waterjet cutting and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) trimming are advanced manufacturing processes used to precisely shape and trim materials, utilising different techniques and technologies.

The CNC trimming process enables our CNC team to trim vacuum-formed parts across all the sectors we work with. 

This is one of our Belotti SpA CNC trimmers which has a spindle speed of 22,000 rpm.

What is CNC trimming?

CNC trimming, also known as computer numerical control trimming, is a machining process used to accurately trim or cut excess material from a part or component to achieve the desired final shape. It is often employed in industries that use moulded or formed parts, such as vacuum forming, or composite manufacturing.

The process involves the use of a CNC machine, which is a computer-controlled cutting machine that precisely follows a pre-programmed set of instructions to remove the excess material from the workpiece.

What is CNC waterjet trimming?

Waterjet trimming is a machining process used to trim or cut materials using a high-pressure stream of water mixed with an abrasive material. It is a versatile and precise method for cutting various materials, including metals, composites, plastics, stone, glass, and ceramics.The process involves the use of a 5-axis robot which is computer-controlled to precisely follow a pre-programmed set of instructions to remove the excess material from the workpiece.

Water power!

Linecross's high-pressure CNC water jets can cut composite material up to 8mm thick! Here you can see the jets cutting through a recycled, super lightweight, NVH material wheel arch liner for one of our premium automotive customers. This is a great option for cleaner cutting of fabrics.
