AT&F shows commitment to aerospace market with waterjet investment

22/06/2018

Press releaseIssued by AT&F.

With a core focus on investment in game-changing technology and innovation, AT&F is pleased to announce the addition of its newest 5-axis waterjet cutting system. This specialized equipment was developed for AT&F to achieve the fastest cutting speeds possible while maintaining exceptional edge quality. This high quality cutting method allows for less machining, decreasing costs and increasing overall efficiency.

The decision to bring this new technology to AT&F was based on the company's cornerstone philosophy, "We invest in Customer Success®." With a new system design and integrated drive technology, the high-speed waterjet maximizes both cutting area and performance. It has a cutting envelope of 13 feet by 46 feet and it can cut up to a 60-degree angle while holding impressive tolerances.

According to Ken Ripich, Executive Vice President of AT&F, "Waterjet cutting has the precision and reliability needed to meet the increasing demands of the Aerospace and Defense markets. These high-tech industries are responsible for manufacturing mission-critical components for commercial, space, and military war fighting machines. The parts and fabrications we provide must be within specification every time, no exception."

AT&F has 78 years of experience managing and processing all types of carbon, high strength, alloy, and composite materials. AT&F's investment in another state-of-the-art waterjet system, coupled with some of the largest fabricating equipment in the world, makes them the obvious choice for providing complete solutions to the Aerospace and Defense markets.
