KMT Waterjet IDE® Cutting Head - Diamond Orifice for the best performance
The KMT Waterjet IDE® (Integrated Diamond Eductor) Assembly Diamond Abrasive Cutting Nozzle, rated for pressures up to 4.100 bar and 6.200 bar, represents a breakthrough in simplicity and peak performance.
IDE® diamond orifice assembly outperforms sapphires or rubies by 10-20 times.
Guaranteed for 500 hours* (*When used with the Short Stop Filter).
Fewest possible parts ensure simple and reliable performance.
Only focusing tubes and head body need replacement.
Each IDE® Waterjet nozzle features a permanently mounted diamond and mixing chamber.
Includes removable abrasive inlet, focusing tube retaining nut, retaining ring, and high-pressure filter element.
Diamond orifice is imbedded, eliminating misalignment, over-torquing, and stack up errors.
IDE® cutting head has demonstrated 1,000+ cutting hours in job shops.
Reduce operating costs with extended focusing tube life.
The KMT 90,000 psi | 6.200 bar, Integral Diamond Eductor PRO, which has achieved successful cutting performance at 100,000 psi/6.900 bar, consistently demonstrates superior performance reduced operating cost.
The IDE® PRO features the same one-piece construction as the IDE® 4.100 bar, and maintains the same precision cutting at a higher pressure.
- Up to 50% more productivity-no maintenance down time
- 10 to 20 times greater mean time between failure
- Superior edge quality
KMT DIAMOND ORIFICE
The diamond orifice is imbedded, thus integral to the mixing chamber. The jet stream is precisely directed through the focusing tube eliminating misalignment, over-torquing and stack up errors.
MIS-ALIGNED DESIGN
This illustration of a competitive design mount shows that debris as small as a single garnet particle can cause a 0.64 mm jet stream mis-alignment resulting in premature mixing tube wear and decreased cutting speed and performance.
PRECISION
Eleven IDE Diamond orifice sizes are available for waterjet cutting, ranging from .178 to .46 mm, tailored to material thickness and precision.
VERSATILITY
The IDE cutting nozzle integrates seamlessly with KMT global OEM integrators’ CNC machines, specialized for abrasive cutting materials.
MULTI-HEAD CUTTING
The image above highlights the versatility of the KMT IDE cutting nozzle, which could have different IDE orifice sizes ranging from .007 to .018 on each cutting nozzle assembly on the CNC waterjet table.

KMT Waterjet Systems | The Power to do More
This KMT Waterjet video demonstrates how to cut aluminum faster with the IDE PRO head cutting at waterjet pressure 6.200 bar vs. 4.100 bar.
By increasing the waterjet pump pressure from 4.100 bar to 6.200 bar, the velocity of the water jet stream also significantly increases. The net result is, the higher the pressure, the faster the parts will cut. And by accelerating the water jet stream from 4.100 bar to 6.200 bar, there is also a reduction in the usage of abrasive costs.
This video shows a side-by-side comparison as to how much faster parts are cut, and how much less abrasive is used by cutting at 6.200 bar vs. 4.100 bar
