The specialized equipment was developed for AT&F to achieve the fastest cutting speeds possible while maintaining exceptional edge quality. This [high quality cutting](https://www.atfco.com/capabilities/precision-cutting/) method allows for less machining, decreasing costs and increasing overall efficiency. The decision to bring a second waterjet system to AT&F was based on the company’s cornerstone philosophy, “[We](https://www.atfco.com/about/)![aerospace-waterjet](https://blog.atfco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Aerospace/aerospace-waterjet.jpg?width=399&name=aerospace-waterjet.jpg)[Invest in Customer Success®](https://www.atfco.com/about/).” With a new 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](https://blog.atfco.com/2011/06/17/large-press-brake-forming) in the world, makes them the obvious choice for providing complete solutions to the Aerospace and Defense markets.
