Based in Ripponden, West Yorkshire, Wightman Stewart Waterjet Ltd has a long standing expertise in the UK waterjet market and with this new distributorship is offering a range of proven, high specification waterjet cutting tables to suit new and experienced users of waterjet technology in the engineering sub-contract sector as well as niche markets.
Formed in 1991, Waterjet Corporation has enjoyed continuous sales growth and worldwide success by concentrating its product range solely on technology that exploits the potential of high-pressure water-jetting. At its global headquarters in Monza, the company undertakes all of its manufacturing, research and development activities to ISO 9001-2008 standards.
Waterjet Corporation supplies both abrasive and pure waterjet machines as well as specialised waterjet machines for hammering and texturing stone materials, the cutting of quarried materials and for underground tunnelling applications. Machines can be custom built to meet the needs of specific production environments and cutting requirements. The standard range uses the highest quality components and covers sophisticated 3D/ five axis (within infinite rotation) cutting machines, combined waterjet/plasma machines, compact high performance 2D machines and simpler flying bridge tables.
Wightman Stewart has 25 years’ experience in the application of waterjet throughout a diverse range of market sectors from sub-contract engineering to aerospace components, building products, glass production and food manufacturing amongst others. Based on scores of installations, the company can provide informed advice on the application and potential advantages of waterjet.
Wightman Stewart’s Managing Director Simon Fitton says: “Waterjet Corporation’s success throughout the world is a testimony to their product quality. We’ll be providing the UK market with complete systems including the table and KMT intensifier, technical support, full installation service and customer support including spares back up, repair and maintenance programmes. With the Wightman Stewart Waterjet – Waterjet Corporation partnership, UK users will realise the full potential of waterjet cutting technology.”
To support Simon’s comments Waterjet Corporation has for the forth year running won KMT’s prestigious BIGGEST GLOBAL OEM award for the sale of KMT’s products throughout the world in 2012.
Waterjet Corporation has taken on the new ultra high pressure systems (6200 bar and above) developed by KMT and incorporated the technology into their machines. This new technology enables Waterjet Corporation to supply machines that cut faster, better and more cost effective than the conventional waterjet systems.
Demonstration of this new technology and the benefits it provides can be arranged by contacting Wightman Stewart Waterjet at any time.
