Water jet cutting is a new technology using very high pressure water as a cutting tool. Water jet cutting system consists of water preparation part, pressure generation pate, cutting head, and motion part. A PC-based numerical controlled (PC-NC) X-Y table is developed and water get cutting system is installed thereon. Water jet machining is applicable to various kinds of materials ranging from soft materials such as rubber and meat to hard-to-cut materials such as titanium. This paper shows the application of the abrasive waterjet system to titanium cutting.
