Let’s Build Something Together
We offer cutting Titanium for military and Aerospace. Titanium sheets with zero margin for error require waterjet cutting which results in no heat affected zones. Structural integrity of the metal is retained through our specialized process, which improves customer safetly as reliability when it comes to premium production.
About Us
Copeland-Gibson Products Corp. is a prototype and production Waterjet cutting facility. We house a highly qualified staff with nearly 100 combined years of abrasive jet cutting experience, four state of the art Abrasive Waterjet systems, full CAD/CAM capabilities, extensive lift equipment including a 15-ton crane, all of which makes us the perfect choice for your Waterjet cutting source. We have been honored by The City Of Troy on January 28th, 2015 and we are also one of the longest-serving Waterjet Cutting job shops in the country. Simply put our 9,400 sq ft facility hosts some of the most experienced staff in the country and our years of Waterjet Cutting know how will assure that you’ll receive the highest level of service and quality while helping you meet your tight deadlines.

BENEFITS OF WATERJET
Waterjet cutting eliminates many problems compared to other ways of cutting materials. No costly fixtures or tooling, no HAZ (heat affected zone), no material warping, no burrs or sharp edges, tolerances within +/- .025″ and no work hardening.
With our process, we can “nest” the parts you’d like us to cut tightly in place to best utilize your material. This allows us to save large portions of the raw stock that would typically be lost with other traditional machining methods.
Because of the high velocity of the cutting stream, any smoke, fume or airborne dust particles from cutting materials such as fiberglass, asbestos, and beryllium are no longer a concern. This greatly reduces problems arising from exposure to hazardous work environments.
Waterjets are eco-friendly in a sense that they don’t produce any hazardous waste. The actual cutting abrasive we use is a ruby called garnet, that is ground into sand. There are many different types of species of garnet with different mineral compositions, all of which have come from the earth and then after our cutting process is then, again returned via landfill.

What We Do
Waterjet cutting is often used during fabrication of machine parts. It is the preferred method when the materials being cut are sensitive to the high temperatures generated by other methods. Abrasive Water-jet cutting is used in various industries, including mining and aerospace, for cutting, shaping, and reaming. With Water-jet, there are no heat affected zones and therefore less risk of micro-abrasions or cracks which destroy aircraft integrity. Some of the materials we can cut include stainless steel, steel, glass, aluminum, wood, brass, copper, stone, plastic, marble, acrylic.
