November 2013 — Sugino Corp. has introducde the newest addition to their waterjet cutting family: the Katana2 Water Jet Cutting System.
This high precision water jet cutter is ideally suited for cutting titanium, stainless-steel, CFRP and other hard materials such as copper or glass, according to the company. Utilizing Sugino's newly developed, extra-fine abrasive nozzle, the Katana2 can achieve cutting diameters as low as 0.012" (0.3mm) at pressures up to 43,500 PSI (300 MPa).
With a footprint of only 57"w x 81"d (1435mm x 2050mm), the Katana2 is also eco-friendly, using 60 percent less abrasive materials and consuming four times less power than traditional water jets, thus reducing running costs by 40 percent.

waterjet cutting
Fine, high-pressure (up to 50,000 psi or greater), high-velocity jet of water directed by a small nozzle to cut material. Velocity of the stream can exceed twice the speed of sound. Nozzle opening ranges from between 0.004" to 0.016" (0.l0mm to 0.41mm), producing a very narrow kerf. See AWJ, abrasive waterjet.
