Tank Components 5-Axis Cutting
At Tank Components Industries, we employ advanced 5‑axis waterjet cutting technology to help you save time, reduce cost, and boost precision across your tank fabrication workflows. Our expansive 8′ × 12′ cutting bed combined with 3′ of vertical (Z‑axis) travel enables us to accommodate oversized tank heads, shells, and components with ease. Simply provide your CAD file, and we’ll handle the rest.
Why 5‑Axis Waterjet Cutting Matters
- Perfectly Angled & Shaped Cuts - Unlike traditional 3‑axis methods, our 5‑axis system allows the cutting head to tilt and rotate, delivering complex angled cuts, bevels, trims, and contours in a single operation. This level of precision ensures parts fit effortlessly for welding and assembly—saving you layout time and eliminating costly manual adjustments.
- Consistent Quality with No Heat Damage - Waterjet cutting operates without heat, which means there’s no heat-affected zone that might compromise the integrity of the material. Materials retain their original properties, reducing warping or distortion. This is especially important when cutting alloys for weld-ready joints.
- Enhanced Efficiency & Production Speed - Equipped to cut thick materials—from 0.065″ up to 7″—our 5‑axis waterjet delivers fast, accurate results even on large or complex parts. By combining contouring and drilling in one step, we minimize secondary machining operations and reduce lead times.
- Reduced Setup & Scrap - No clamps or fixtures required—our system uses CAD-driven programming for setup, lowering material waste and ensuring cost-effective operations.
