Mid-Plains Industries uses the unmatched versatility of waterjet cutting to expand our capabilities beyond
what is possible with lasers, EDM, or milling machines. Abrasive waterjet’s are ideal for tough and
lucrative applications such as titanium, inconel, brass, composites, aluminum, glass, stone or any other steel,
including stainless. The hair-thin waterjet can quickly cut almost any material including gaskets, foams,
plastics and thin rubber. Mid-Plains Industries’ waterjet system offers a cutting area capacity of
60” x 120” and material thicknesses exceeding 4 inches. In addition, waterjets cut with a narrow
kerf, allowing parts to be tightly nested to maximize material usage. As there is absolutely no mechanical
stress, heat distortion, or heat-affected zone, the waterjet cutting system results in a higher quality product.
For machining in high volumes, short runs or prototypes, waterjet cutting is the most flexible cutting tool in
the world.
Mid-Plains Industries’ laser cutting capabilities add another dimension to the service we provide.
Laser cutting is the leader in shape profiling because of its speed and accuracy. Our Bystonic 3000 watt laser
center accepts sheet sizes up to 72” x 144” and is capable of cutting any thickness up to
1/2” stainless steel and carbon steel up to 3/4”. Lasers are undeniably the most versatile of
all metal fabrication processes as they allow intricate geometry cuts with clean edges and precision accuracy
of plus or minus four thousandths. Small holes and etching do not require secondary operations, nor is edge
cleanup needed. Our laser center also features a BYTRANS automated loading/unloading system, which allows
quick removal of finished parts. If you require parts that fit together with precision that result in easier
and quicker assembly, our laser is for you..
