What do a 0.004" kerf in aerospace-grade titanium, a contoured cut through 6-inch reinforced concrete, a delamination-free edge on carbon fiber composites, and a sterile incision in surgical-grade stainless steel all share?

They were all shaped - quite literally - by water.

For over 50 years, KMT pumps have quietly powered some of the most demanding manufacturing challenges on Earth (and beyond). Our ultra-high-pressure technology has helped cut the glass in devices that fit in your pocket, precision-shape the metals that survive re-entry into our atmosphere, and enable the components trusted by the world's most ambitious innovation programs forging new frontiers in and .

The next time you see a piece of modern technology and wonder how it was manufactured, consider this: the unique design may have been cut by a force as old as nature itself. 💧 💧 💧

Anyone who runs UHP equipment knows the math: every hour an intensifier sits idle costs more than the repair ticket itself. A worn check valve, a tired seal, a slow pressure drop nobody caught in time, small things that shut down a whole shop floor.

KMT Global Service is built to solve these challenges.

Our network exists for one reason: keeping your UHP and waterjet systems running at spec. That means technicians who actually understand what's happening inside a 60K+ PSI intensifier, not generalists reading off a checklist. It means genuine OEM parts engineered to the tolerances your pump was designed around. And it means catching wear patterns before they become unplanned downtime.

A couple of things worth knowing:
✅ Preventive maintenance pays for itself. Scheduled service on high-pressure components meaningfully extends the life of your UHP equipment.
✅ Proactive beats reactive, every time. We map service intervals around your production schedule, not the other way around.

Your waterjet is a capital asset. Treat it like one and it'll outlast its payback period by years.

KMT Waterjet Global Service — OEM expertise, wherever you cut.

Curious how much faster (and cheaper per part) your shop could be running? Let's talk.

When your operation demands tight tolerances, zero heat-affected zones, and the flexibility to cut everything from titanium to composites on the same table, X-Y waterjet is hard to beat.

KMT's cutting systems, powered by our ultra-high pressure pumps up to 90K psi, deliver:

✅ Accuracy down to ±0.1 mm
✅ Narrow kerf = less scrap, more yield
✅ Cold-cutting process (no warping, no HAZ)
✅ One machine, virtually unlimited materials - metal, stone, composites, plastics, foam, and more
✅ Finished edges that reduce or eliminate secondary processing

Whether you're running an small table, still cutting at 60K psi, or scaling to multi-head production for high-volume jobs, KMT is the pressure behind the world's leading waterjet systems with a legacy dating back to 1971 as the pioneer of the industry.

In the aerospace and space tech industries, there is zero room for error. When you're working with exotic materials like , , and , the cutting method is just as critical as the design itself.

Traditional thermal cutting (laser/plasma) can create Heat Affected Zones (HAZ), compromising the structural integrity of your parts. KMT’s waterjet and ultra-high pressure technology eliminates this risk entirely, ensuring your components meet the strictest metallurgical standards for flight and orbit.

High-pressure water combined with an abrasive additive can cut through almost any material effectively and improve manufacturing productivity.

▪️ KMT waterjet technology offers precision cutting for aerospace component manufacturing.
▪️ 5-axis capabilities of waterjet cutting on three-dimensional shapes.
▪️ Six-axis robotic waterjet cells for cutting complex angles and orientations.
▪️ No heat-affected zones (HAZ) ensuring structural integrity.

More manufacturers are turning to KMT products, like our STREAMLINE PRO® pumps, that deliver up to 90,000 psi (6,200 bar) in 60 hp and 125 hp configurations, giving customers 50–100% more cutting capacity and up to 50% abrasive savings compared to 60,000 psi systems.

Why settle for "close enough" when you can have aerospace-grade precision?

Whether you are building the next generation of commercial aircraft or the rockets that will take us to Mars, KMT Waterjet has the high-pressure technology to keep your production soaring. Ready to accelerate your fabrication floor? Let’s discuss how KMT can double your capacity.

🦃 This Thanksgiving season, we’re thankful for precision. While most carve turkeys with knives, we prefer 90,000 PSI of pure KMT waterjet power.

And it’s not just about metal and composites, KMT ultra-high pressure applications are trusted by food manufacturers and distributors worldwide to cut and portion produce, baked goods, and even delicate items like lettuce with unmatched accuracy.

But precision doesn’t stop at cutting. Our systems also enable high-pressure pasteurization (HPP), helping food processors extend shelf life and ensure safety without heat or chemicals.

Why do leading brands choose KMT Group products?
✅ Sanitary, bacteria-free processing
✅ Extended shelf life for produce
✅ Perfect portion control without crushing or bruising
✅ Cold pasteurization for fresher, safer products

From aerospace alloys to your holiday bird, (okay, maybe not your bird) we’re proud to deliver UHP solutions for your toughest manufacturing challenges.
