Kimtech Launches Tilter14: Innovative Cutting Head for Perfect Precision in Waterjet Cutting Without Taper

Kimtech continues to lead the way in waterjet cutting technology with the launch of Tilter14, an advanced cutting head that effectively eliminates taper angle error for ultra-sharp cuts.

This compact and high-performance head tilts up to 14 degrees and integrates seamlessly with our machines, ensuring tolerances down to ±0.05 mm for standard and ±0.01 mm for micro hydro cutting. Tilter14 is optimized for applications where precision is critical. Ideal for industries such as electronics, medical and aerospace, where straight cuts in metal, glass, composites or delicate materials are essential for quality and efficiency.

What makes Tilter14 unique in waterjet cutting?

Tilter14 is designed to meet the increasing demand for precision water jet cutting heads that handle taper angle with minimal post-processing. Key features include:

  • 14 Degree Angle: Dynamic adjustment to compensate for taper angle error, providing straight cuts with exceptional precision and eliminating taper even in thick materials.
  • Advanced Calibration Method: A proprietary technique where we laser measure all machines with high quality measuring equipment to create calibration tables that give the machine a very high repeatability and positional accuracy. We also use ball-bar to compensate the cutting head and ensure optimal performance.
  • High Tolerance and Reliability: Outperforms conventional abrasive waterjet heads by delivering ultra-tight tolerances, ideal for thin films, hard alloys and exotic composites.
  • Compact and Easy Integration: As a compact waterjet cutting head, it fits perfectly into existing machines such as XY-Small, Medium, Large or the new XY-Micro, focusing on easy installation and long-term durability.

“We are proud to introduce the Tilter14, which takes the precision of water jet cutting to new levels. With its ability to eliminate taper without unnecessary complications such as 3D features, we are meeting the real market need for straight and perfect cuts. This is our way of offering competitive solutions that improve customer efficiency,” says Jimmy Zaar, Service and Support Manager at Kimtech.
