Years of research and development have led Meyer Tool into the new and rapidly expanding area of waterjet. This has led to advancements in waterjet hole drilling, hole shaping, surface preparation, coating removal, and many more specialized capabilities. Meyer Tool can assist you with any turbine-related waterjet needs.
The Luft- und Raumfahrt und Gasturbine Industries sind seit langem ein Verfahren benötigt, die Maschine heißen Abschnitt Komponenten können, die eine nicht-leitende Beschichtung haben,. Waterjet is a great solution for precision drilling, Schneiden, and coating removal on these component types.
Meyer Tool has 6-Axis movement on all waterjet machines. Combine these machines with the powerful inspection capabilities already in use at Meyer Tool, and any application is possible.
Precision Waterjet Processes:
Schneiden / Mikroschneiden
We have cut as thick as 22″ thick carbon steel and as thin as 0.005″ thick Hastalloy X. We can cut simple, flat plate, but also the complex, awkward 3-D shapes of the aerospace industry. We can cut a variety of materials and parts: composites, high-temp alloys, ceramics, coated parts, lab samples, and many more.
- Full 6-Axis CNC movement
- Small to large work envelopes (up to 10′ L x 6′ W x 3′ H)
- Renishaw probing abilities for dynamic programming on complex geometries
- Tolerances as small as ±0.001″

Stripping/Milling
We have stripped diffusion coatings (including the diffusion layer) from gas turbine components. We are able to surface mill to a specified depth, even on complicated geometries. Cracks on worn components can be virtually erased with the waterjet process.
