Overview
The Techni Waterjet i-510 is a mid-range production CNC waterjet cutting system built around Techni's proprietary intensifier pump technology and designed for versatile industrial cutting applications. Techni Waterjet, an Australian-headquartered global manufacturer, has built a strong reputation for delivering production-grade waterjet machines at competitive price points without sacrificing the structural integrity and positioning accuracy demanded by industrial users. The i-510 series represents the company's core production platform, available in multiple table configurations from 1,500×3,000 mm to 3,000×6,000 mm.
The i-510 uses Techni's own high-pressure intensifier pump, available in 30 HP and 50 HP configurations, generating cutting pressures up to 60,000 PSI. Techni designs and manufactures the pump in-house, which allows tight integration with the machine control and simplifies service — a meaningful advantage for shops without dedicated waterjet maintenance staff. The pump's dual-acting intensifier design delivers consistent pressure output and long seal life through Techni's enhanced sealing technology.
Techni's IGEMS-based control software provides full CAD/CAM capability including DXF/DWG import, automatic nesting, kerf compensation, and bridge cutting. The interface runs on a standard Windows PC, giving operators familiar computing tools and allowing easy file transfer via USB or network. The i-510's gantry structure uses precision-ground linear rails and servo-driven ballscrews on all axes, achieving ±0.1 mm positioning accuracy across the working area. The machine table is fabricated from stainless steel with replaceable slat catchers.
Techni Waterjet has an established global dealer network and offers application support, operator training, and a consumables supply program. The i-510 is well-suited for metal fabricators, stone and tile processors, and job shops that require a reliable, maintainable waterjet platform with in-house pump support and accessible software.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- In-house pump manufacturing simplifies service and reduces dependency on third-party pump suppliers
- IGEMS software provides full CAD/CAM in a familiar Windows environment
- Competitive price point for a purpose-built industrial waterjet with sealed linear rails
- Available in a wide range of table sizes to match production volume requirements
Limitations
- ±0.1 mm accuracy is adequate for most applications but trails OMAX and Flow on ultra-precision work
- Techni's service network is less dense than Flow or OMAX in some North American regions
- Positioning accuracy on very large table configurations may require periodic re-calibration

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The i-510 cuts virtually any material including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, hardened tool steel, stone, tile, glass, rubber, foam, plastics, carbon fiber composites, and ceramics. The abrasive garnet jet cuts by erosion rather than heat, making it suitable for heat-sensitive and reflective materials that are problematic for laser or plasma.
02
Techni's in-house pump is designed and tested specifically for use with their machines, ensuring tight software integration and consistent performance. Third-party pumps from KMT or Hypertherm offer well-established performance and very broad service networks. The choice depends on whether you prioritize integrated support (Techni) or maximum service coverage (third-party).
03
The i-510 at ±0.1 mm is suitable for most aerospace-adjacent fabrication, including structural brackets, panels, and non-critical hardware. For primary aerospace structure or defense components requiring ±0.05 mm or better, Flow or OMAX UHP systems with dynamic taper compensation are more appropriate.
