Diamonds improve abrasive waterjet performance November 2007
 
KMT Waterjet Systems says its IDE (Integral Diamond Eductor) cutting head provides faster cutting speeds, high precision edge quality and minimises downtime.

The IDE is designed with the fewest possible parts. The head body, orifice and mixing chamber are combined into one piece to eliminate guesswork on the wear and tear of individual parts, reduce the inventory and increase reliability. The integrated design is also a very effective and efficient way of mixing water and abrasive, explains KMT.

The changeover from a pure water cutting head is fast and easy. Only the pure water nozzle tube has to be replaced by the IDE nozzle tube which fits into the nozzle valve. Although the IDE head is guaranteed for 500 hours, most customers can expect 1,500-2,000 hours.
