METAL cutting, KMT Waterjet offers the power to water jet cut more.

For metal cutting materials, CNC waterjet machines can be used to cut thicker metals than can be processed with a laser – like titanium and aluminum (up to 12”/305mm) – and offer greater precision than plasma cutting.

Abrasive CNC waterjet systems are less expensive than laser tables, waterjet machines are the preferred choice to cut steel in metal service centers.

KMT OEM INTEGRATORS WATERJET CUTTING SYSTEMS

Features, Benefits, and Advantages of KMT Waterjet Technology:

Precision Cutting: With a thin kerf, complete waterjet systems, powered by KMT, offer intricate design cutting with high accuracy.

Versatility: Cuts a wide range of metals: stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, brass, and alloys.

Clean Cuts: Produces edges without heat zones, reducing secondary finishing post-processing needs.

No HAZ: Preserves metal structure; no heat-affected zone like laser or plasma.

Minimal Waste: Narrow kerf width minimizes material wastage for cost-effectiveness.

Environmentally Friendly: Uses only water and abrasive, no harmful chemicals, no fumes.

Cold Cutting: Doesn’t generate heat, preserving metal properties.

Reduced Time: Faster production of water jet cutting at 90,000psi compared to conventional water jet pumps with operating pressures at 60,000psi.

Lowest Cost per Part: Cutting at 90,000psi will lower abrasive and water usage, save on labor costs, and increase capacity.  

Complex Shapes: Easily cuts intricate contours, ideal for intricate components, cutting with 5-axis and 6-axis robotic waterjet cells.

Thick Materials: Cuts metals up to several inches thick, offering versatility.

Improved Safety: Eliminates hazardous fumes, sparks, ensuring safer work.

Cost-Effective: High precision and versatility save on material and time costs.
