About Aarton

Aarton GbR is a manufacturing company founded in 2021 in Aichhalden in the Black Forest that specializes in microwaterjet cutting of precision parts. The company produces samples, prototypes, and series parts with jet diameters of approximately 0.2 mm, cutting tolerances of up to ± 0.01 mm, and minimal web widths – without any thermal influence on the workpiece. The process uses pure water or abrasive (typically garnet sand) and machines nearly all materials, including steel, non-ferrous metals, glass, ceramics, carbon, plastics, rubber, foam, textiles, sealing materials, wood, and rock. The system operates at 4000 bar over a working area of 700 x 500 x 100 mm and achieves repeat and positioning accuracies of ± 0.0025 mm. Customers come from prototype construction, precision mechanics, and research, including tech-solute GmbH and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart.
