FOCUS ON WATERJET and minimising material use. The IGEMS Straighter is a handy and advanced tool that clips onto the machine’ s mixing tube. It’ s a matter of seconds until the five-axis kinematic perpendicular angle is as straight as an arrow,” it explained.
Intermac( part of the Biesse Group) offers its Primus range of waterjet cutting systems. The five-axis cutting head is fitted with the patented Intermac infinite rotating C-axis system for making tilted cuts(+/-60 °) on complex profiles, with no limits. This system, says Intermac,“ eliminates the errors due to rotating axis reverse clearance in traditional methods, and also guarantees a constant supply of abrasive material.”
Jetcam provides award-winning nesting automation software for all CNC punch, laser, plasma, oxyfuel, waterjet and routing machines.
In January this year, it released version 25.12 of its flagship JETCAM Expert CAD / CAM software, introducing new features to enhance productivity and automation for sheet metal and composite fabrication.
Jet Edge, Inc. manufactures complete systems for precision water jet cutting, mobile waterjet cutting and UHP cleaning and surface preparation applications, as well as accessories. It has also been producing ultra-high-pressure waterjet pumps( including hydraulic intensifier pumps and direct drive pumps) as well as motion systems for over four decades.
Its waterjet cutting systems include the Edge X-3 mid-rail gantry waterjet, the Edge X-5 five-axis Mid-Rail waterjet and the Edge Dual Carriage Mid Rail WaterJet with Aquavision DI Controller. The latter model allows users to deploy two three-axis cutting heads, two five-axis cutting heads or even one of each, doubling the throughput. Each carriage operates independently, double teaming a single part or cutting two like parts simultaneously. Additional features include lights-out cutting and IGEMS nesting software.
Jet Star International Ltd. is a European supplier of waterjet products such as garnet abrasive and spare parts designed for all types of waterjet machines.
Kerf Developments offers its Optima range of waterjet cutting machines. The machines come with single or multiple cutting heads that feature automatic height adjustment, including anti-collision systems. High-pressure pump options deliver up to 60,000 psi and the machines feature advanced X, Y and Z axes and an optional fiveaxis head for bevel and 3D profiling. A range of optional items include dual cutting heads using a spacer bar, dual independent heads, a rotary tilting head and GRS abrasive removal systems.
The KIMTECH XY-Large cutting system.
Kimtech AB offers three XY waterjet machines that cover most areas of application, as well as fully customised machines. The Swedish manufacturer has delivered over 300 waterjet cutting machines since start of production over 40 years ago. Its XY range of machines( small, medium and large) features abrasive waterjet cutting and come with a range of accessories. Its new control system optimises operation, monitoring, remote support and updating options.
Kimtech has now introduced its XY-Micro, a micro waterjet cutting machine that integrates

Kimtech’ s waterjet cutting equipment is now equipped with a new control system from Beckhoff and a newly developed HMI, specially designed and adapted for waterjet cutting, to facilitate the operator’ s work and increase control.
KMT Waterjet celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021. It specialises in the design and manufacture of waterjet cutting pumps and technology, and specifically ultrahigh-pressure(‘ UHP’) pump technology with water pressurised up to 90,000 PSI / 6.200 bar. KMT pumps range from 90,000 psi to 55,000 psi, with installations available in over 100 countries.
Its lines of waterjet intensifier pumps, pure water only or abrasive waterjet cutting nozzles, abrasive management systems / hoppers, meters and waterjet parts / components are integrated with OEM waterjet machines. With its STREAMLINE models, the company incorporates IoT technology into its portfolio.
The KMT Waterjet Cut Calculator 2.0 App, with an on-demand webinar, incorporates 25 materials and offers a wider range of substrate thicknesses, horsepower, orifice sizes and abrasive rates. It is available at Google Play and the Apple Store for free.
