Several facts and benefits to know about using SawJet technology in the fabrication process

 

 

Remember getting that first smartphone and how it changed everything about your workday? Phone calls, text messages, web access, email and so much more in the palm of your hand, increasing your daily productivity and allowing you to quickly react to the needs of your customer. For the modern fabrication facility, implementing SawJet technology and digital processes can have similar impact on the shop productivity.

 

SawJet technology, the combination of a saw and abrasive waterjet integrated with a cutting machine, can reduce the time associated with nearly every step in the fabrication process when compared to manual processing. With this technology, a saw produces fast cuts wherever there is a straight cut, and the waterjet takes over to handle curves, faucet openings, sink openings and other complex shapes. In addition, for cuts in areas where an overcut will damage the adjacent piece, the saw can stop the cut short and the waterjet can finish the cut tight to the edge. This allows for much greater material yield and eliminates the need to move pieces on the cutting table in order to perform an interfering cut.

 

SawJet technology is a digital technology, requiring a CAD file in order to define where the machine will perform cuts on the slab. This typically means measuring the job with a device such as a laser templator instead of manually measuring and creating physical templates. While this might be initially intimidating to those who are new to digital processes, fabricators quickly find that this technology allows them to cut templating time in half, and the process results in less errors when compared to manual measurements. In addition, the temp
