Before I start. I want to set the scenery of what things are like around Fedtech today (we're just outside the twin cities, in Minnesota)...
It is 39*F outside, a little chilly wind coming through... and I've even taken the liberty of capturing a photo of outside to really bring the ambiance home...
Good old Minnesota fall weather never lets us down. Thankfully we've got a break from all the rain we've been having this past week so we're not complaining today!
Alright! On to the questions!
Q: What is the difference between water jet cutting cost vs. laser cutting costs?
A: Depending on what you are attempting to cut, your needs will require different cutting methods. However laser cutting is the cheaper process for manufacturing. But the requirements for your project may not allow for laser cutting, as with plastics, composites, rubber, or more. Generally laser cutting is used for thin stainless steel, carbon steel, or thin aluminum. (See the thickness and material table here to compare the two methods)
Q: Do you do armor coating?
A: We do armor plating and ballistic material cutting here in-house, and we have a close vendor who does our armor coating for all of our projects. By doing this we make it a one-stop shop for our customers, and one less thing for customers to worry about.
Q: Where can I find a glossary of manufacturing terms?
A: Great question! There is a whole page of industry key terms or glossary, if you will, on Fedtech's website at this link here. The terms range from everything manufacturing (focusing on waterjet and laser cutting) and if you can't find what you're looking for there, visit the FAQ's page and see if that helps. If nothing else, you can always ask me!
Q: How large is your equipment, net size, for waterjet cutting in the aerospace industry?
A: We have numerous large waterjet cutting envelopes. Our largest is 156" x 360", but you can see our whole facility list on our website. Our laser cutting beds are also large, so our capabilities for aerospace manufacturing are great.
Q: Where can I see some amazing laser cut projects?
A: We write stories about a ton of awesome laser and waterjet cut projects on our case studies page (complete with photos). It's my favorite part of the website and it gets updated the most as well.
Q: Are you a armored vehicle manufacturer?
A: We don't manufacture the vehicles themselves, we simply waterjet and laser cut the parts that are used for armor vehicles. We also have the capability in our facility to form large armor plate parts, and our vendor that I talked about before does all of our coating/painting so it all comes from our facility as a finished product part - straight to the final manufacturer.
Q: Can you cut glass on a water jet?
A: Yes we can.
Q: Can you laser cut glass?
A: We do not laser cut glass, this (as mentioned right above) is typically cut on our waterjet.
Q: How thick A36 material can be cut with waterjet?
A: We're able to waterjet cut carbon steel (and most other materials) up to 12" in thickness.
Hopefully that helps for this week! Come back soon for updated content, and of course check out www.fedtech.com for more info on our production and capabilities! Thanks for stopping by :)
