Robots Waterjet Cut Carpet for Cars. When Will They Clean My House?

"You are obsessed with robots!" my husband declared, laughing as I said "I wish I had a robot to clean up this mess."

I've been wanting a robot ever since I moved out on my own and gained a real appreciation for my mother's impeccable housekeeping.  My mom followed behind her nine children with robotic precision in tiring (vs. tireless) pursuit of a clean home. Sure, she assigned us all cleaning chores, but no one can clean better and faster than Momma. She made it look easy, and sometimes even fun.  But I am certain that there were days when even she would have appreciated a robot of her own.

Robots have been used in manufacturing for decades.  At Jet Edge, we work with robotic integrators like Alliance Automation LLC to integrate ultra high pressure water jet cutting technology into robotic trimming cells. Robot waterjets are quite possibly buzzing away right now somewhere in Michigan water jet cutting carpet for your next car.

All I ask is that if a robot can be trained to precisely water jet parts for automotive applications, why can't it scrub the shower door?

Water Jet Cutting Pineapple, Coconuts and Limes

It's been downright tropical in Minnesota lately, so last Friday we decided to water jet cut some tropical fruits in our water jet test cutting lab.

Our test lab never smelled so good.  The delicious smell of fresh cut pineapple, coconut and lime permeated the entire shop, and attracted some curious coworkers.  With the big shop fan blowing, and humidity hovering near 90%, it wasn't hard to imagine ourselves hanging out on a beach somewhere enjoying an umbrella drink.

It was 10 after five when we sliced the last lime.  By then we were all anxious to get home for the weekend so we could enjoy a pina colada or maybe a mojito out on our deck in beautiful Minnesota.

All Roads Lead to Jet Edge Waterjet Systems...Normally

Normally all roads lead to Jet Edge, but a doozy of a storm last night knocked down a main power transmission line that crossed every highway into St. Michael, Minnesota from the south, causing the closure of every highway to our factory from the south.  Fortunately, I-94 remained opened so those of us who live to the south of Jet Edge were able to get to work supporting our water jet systems customers through some creative navigating.

Jet Edge was spared from the storm's wrath, but many of our neighbors could be without power for days.  We're grateful that we weathered the storm, and we're especially thankful to the first responders and power company crews who are putting in a very long day today.

We tip our hat to the Wright County Sheriff's Department and Highway Department, as well as the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department and Highway Department, City of St. Michael, Xcel Energy®, Wright-Hennepin Electric and everyone else who is working hard today to clean up after the storm. Thank you!

See photos of the storm damage here.

At Jet Edge, we count among our customers many family-owned businesses that risked it all to venture out on their own to start up their own waterjet shops.

The Lee family of New Lenox, Illinois is just one of Jet Edge's many Great American success stories. They put everything on the line to start up JDA Aqua Cutting, one of the first water jet shops in the Chicago Land area.  Since then, they've grown their business and offer many other machining and fabricating services.
