The KMT Waterjet IDE® (Integrated Diamond Eductor) Assembly Diamond Abrasive Cutting Nozzle, rated for pressures up to 60,000 PSI and 90,000 PSI, 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® 60,000 psi, 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 0.025” jet stream mis-alignment resulting in premature mixing tube wear and decreased cutting speed and performance.

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 90,000psi vs. 60,000psi.

By increasing the waterjet pump pressure from 60,000psi to 90,000psi, 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 60,000psi to 90,000psi, 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 90,000psi vs. 60,000psi
