Introduction to KMT Waterjet Systems
KMT Waterjet Systems has been a pioneer in waterjet cutting technology since the early 1970s, developing the first commercial waterjet cutting machine in 1971. The company has consistently led technological advancements in the industry, offering a range of products known for reliability, sophisticated design, and ease of maintenance. KMT provides solutions for various applications, from entry-level systems to high-capacity production setups.

Service and Support
KMT offers a 24-hour service hotline and a global network of service locations to minimize production downtimes. The company ensures optimal availability of spare parts through its central warehouse in Germany and satellite offices worldwide. Customers receive technical training with the purchase of high-pressure pumps, enabling them to perform necessary repairs independently.

Waterjet Cutting Technology
Waterjet cutting is a versatile technology suitable for a wide range of materials and thicknesses. It is particularly advantageous for cutting metals as it avoids thermal stress, material hardening, and warping. The technology provides burr-free cutting edges, often eliminating the need for reworking. KMT's high-pressure pump series, STREAMLINE PRO, allows cutting at pressures up to 6,200 bar, enhancing cutting speed, edge quality, and reducing abrasive consumption.

Advantages of Waterjet Cutting
  • High cutting speeds and accuracy.
  • Ability to cut any outline in any material.
  • Simple programming and short setup time.
  • Cold cutting method preserves material properties.
  • Minimal material loss due to small cutting gaps.
  • Virtually burr-free edges reduce the need for reworking.

System Planning with KMT
KMT offers a variety of waterjet cutting systems, including 1D slitter systems, 2D cutting tables, and 3D robot applications. These systems are designed for different applications, from cutting web material to complex three-dimensional outlines. KMT provides customized solutions to meet specific cutting demands, ensuring efficient and economical production.

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 material...

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 pressure...
