The heart of waterjet cutting

KMT Waterjet Systems –  The Heart of Waterjet Cutting In the early 1970’s, the technology of cutting material with water came up. Right from the start, KMT Waterjet Systems has been deeply involved: In 1971, we developed the first waterjet cutting machine for commercial use. Since those early days, the waterjet cutting technology has taken big steps to become a valuable addition and alternative to conventional cutting methods. When it comes to advancing the technology, KMT Waterjet Systems has always played a big role, and thanks to our consistent and innovative product development, we have...

WATERJET CUTTING Waterjet cutting – the technology of possibilities The technology of cutting with a waterjet – be it pure water or abrasive cutting – has been around for about 40 years now. In this time, it has been established in a lot of industries due to its many advantages. First of all, it demonstrates a great flexibility in the range of materials that can be cut as well as in the thickness of those materials. Especially concerning metals, waterjet cutting has proven itself very feasible because – as a cold cutting technology – it avoids thermal stress on the material as well as...

Advantages of waterjet cutting at 6,200 bar n Depending on the material and its thickness, cutting with 6,200 bar allows operators to in­ rease the cutting speed by up to 50%. In some c applications, the increase is even considerably higher. Higher operating pressures improve conformality as well as the quality of the cut edge. In many cases, there is no need for reworking cut edges. Cutting with 6,200 bar significantly reduces the consumption of abrasive. Thanks to the increased cutting speed, more workpieces can be cut in the same time. This leads lower costs per piece. The high working...
