Some companies may hesitate to be the first adopter of a new product or technology, but Krando Metal Products Inc., Broomall, Pa., relishes it. The company has the first dual-head waterjet able to run at 90,000 psi with 125 horsepower, and it’s providing Tony DiAngelus, founder and CEO, with a number of benefits.
“It’s given us an extremely competitive edge because no one else has one of these,” he says. “We can say to someone, ‘Our waterjet is cutting as quick as some lasers.’” In addition, Krando is experiencing faster production speeds and lower costs per part because of the waterjet, which the company installed in November.
KMTWaterjet Systems, Baxter Springs, Kan., supplied the 90,000 psi Streamline Pro 125 horsepower pump with dual intensifiers, and MC Machinery Systems Inc., Wood Dale, Ill., manufactured the Suprema DX 6x12 table with dual heads.
Both companies have been committed equally to making sure the pump and table work together “because it’s the one and only,” says DiAngelus. “We started a new phase.”
