Overview
KMT Waterjet Systems is the world's leading manufacturer of ultra-high-pressure (UHP) waterjet intensifier pumps, supplying pump systems that power waterjet tables from Flow, WARDJet, Jet Edge, and dozens of OEM table manufacturers globally. The KMT Streamline PRO series represents KMT's complete cutting systems, integrating their UHP pump technology with a precision CNC gantry table. Available in pressures from 60,000 to 90,000 PSI and horsepower from 30 HP to 125 HP, the Streamline PRO delivers consistent cutting energy with KMT's direct-drive intensifier technology that eliminates the traditional intensifier piston for lower maintenance. KMT's Shift Cut technology enables tool path optimization for minimizing start/stop cycles and reducing abrasive consumption on complex nested programs. The Streamline PRO is offered in table sizes from 4x4 to 13x6 feet, and is compatible with IGEMS CAD/CAM. KMT's global distribution through waterjet OEMs and direct sales makes its pumps and tables accessible in virtually every manufacturing market.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- KMT is the OEM pump supplier for most major waterjet tables — deep expertise
- Direct-drive intensifier eliminates traditional piston seals for lower maintenance
- Shift Cut technology reduces abrasive consumption on complex parts
- 90,000 PSI capability for maximum cut speed on thick materials
- Global parts and service availability through extensive distribution network
Limitations
- KMT Streamline PRO tables are less known than branded alternatives like Flow or OMAX
- Higher-pressure pumps (90,000 PSI) require more frequent seal inspection vs 60K PSI
- IGEMS software not pre-installed on all configurations — may require purchase
- Table build quality varies by regional integrator

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A traditional intensifier uses a hydraulic piston to amplify pressure — this piston cycling causes pressure pulses and requires frequent seal replacement. KMT's direct-drive eliminates the piston, delivering smoother pressure output and significantly reducing seal maintenance frequency.
02
Yes. KMT sells pumps as standalone units compatible with Flow, WARDJet, Jet Edge, and other waterjet tables. Many shops retrofit existing tables with newer KMT pumps for increased pressure capability.
03
Shift Cut optimizes the tool path start/stop logic to minimize slow-lead-in cuts and reduce abrasive consumption on densely nested programs. It can reduce abrasive use by 10-20% on complex parts programs.
