About Us

In 2004 Poseidon Engineering brought precision waterjet cutting to the North East of Scotland.

Investing in the best and most reliable equipment and with unrivalled experience we have grown to become a company with an enviable reputation for excellent quality and first class customer service.

Our market leading technology allows us to use multi-head cutting for large production runs or single head for one off parts or R + D work.

Our extensive experience and attention to detail reassures our customers that their project will be carried out in a timely and professional manner.

How does waterjet work?

Waterjet uses a mixture of high-quality garnet and water at pressures in excess of 60,000 psi.

This cuts the material by supersonic erosion with nozzle velocities up to Mach 3. This system in conjunction with the latest Taper Control cutting heads and highly accurate machine beds allows tight tolerances to be achieved in virtually any material from 0.15mm stainless steel to 240mm granite.

What are the benefits?

No noxious gases or liquids are used in waterjet cutting, and waterjets do not create hazardous materials or vapour making it an environmentally friendly and safe process.

No heat affected zones or mechanical stresses are left on a waterjet cut surface.

The waterjet has shown that it can do things that other technologies simply cannot. From cutting wafer-thin details in glass to rapid hole drilling of titanium the waterjet has proven itself unique.
