Waterjet Cutting
CORTALIA has more than 25 years of experience manufacturing parts with waterjet technology. We advise the best way to execute each project.
At Cortalia, we transform precision into reality with our high-pressure waterjet cutting division, combining over 25 years of technical experience with a fleet of six state-of-the-art OMAX machines. Strategically located in Coslada, Madrid, we operate as an integral subcontracting partner, providing industrial cutting solutions that eliminate bottlenecks in our clients' production chains. We do not sell machines; we deliver finished parts with millimeter accuracy, ensuring every cut meets the most demanding standards of the global market.
Our processing capacity extends to extraordinary dimensions, handling formats up to 12 meters in length by 3.5 meters in width without compromising material integrity. Unlike traditional thermal methods, our cold cutting process completely eliminates the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), preserving the original mechanical properties of steel, titanium, aluminum, and composite materials. This is fundamental for critical industries such as aerospace and nuclear, where structural integrity is non-negotiable.
The versatility of our equipment allows us to execute 5-axis cuts and perform complex 3D machining, adapting to geometries that other providers cannot address. We incorporate a rotary axis for cutting tubes and profiles, enabling fluid production of cylindrical components and tubular structures for construction and heavy engineering. From microscopic slots of 0.3 millimeters to thick cuts in stone and glass, our micro-cutting technology offers precision that redefines the limits of industrial design.
Quality is the central pillar of our operation, backed by international certifications including ISO 9001 for quality management, EN 9101 for the aerospace sector, and ISO 19443 for nuclear applications. These guarantees allow us to work with major industry players, ensuring that every delivered part meets the rigorous safety and performance protocols required. Our team of specialized engineers and operators supervises every stage of the process, from material preparation to final quality control.
As a subcontracting company in Spain, we understand that time is a critical resource; therefore, we have optimized our workflows to offer fast turnaround times without sacrificing excellence. We offer complete in-house production capabilities, meaning we do not rely on third parties for cutting, welding, or subsequent machining, ensuring total control over the project schedule. Our location in the Madrid region facilitates logistics for clients across Europe, enabling timely deliveries and seamless communication.
Our range of processed materials is extremely broad, covering ferrous and non-ferrous metals like stainless steel and titanium, as well as non-metallic materials such as rubber, foam, and advanced composites. We use ultra-high pressure water to cut glass, natural stone, and ceramics with clean edges free of chips, a decisive advantage for the design and construction industries. The flexibility of our processes allows us to switch between materials and thicknesses in minutes, maximizing production efficiency.
The technological innovation of our six OMAX machines allows us to tackle large-scale projects with a consistency that only experience can provide. We integrate 3D cutting systems and rotary axes to create complex components requiring multi-plane precision, essential for manufacturing molds, engine parts, and architectural structures. Our commitment to continuous improvement has led us to develop custom solutions that adapt to the specific needs of each client, whether for rapid prototyping or mass production.
By choosing Cortalia as your subcontracting partner, you gain access to a level of service that combines industrial power with the attention to detail of a modern artisan workshop. We are not just a simple cutting service provider; we are an extension of your production department, capable of assuming responsibility for the manufacturing of critical parts with total transparency. Trust in our two decades of experience to take your projects to the next level of precision, quality, and operational efficiency in the heart of Spain.
