Within a Waterjet Cutting System, the diamond orifice stands as a crucial high-precision element. Its primary function is to transform ultra-high-pressure water into a highly focused and consistent cutting stream. When contrasted with conventional ruby orifices, those made of diamond typically provide an extended operational lifespan, enhanced resistance to wear, and a more consistent cutting performance. These advantages often make them a practical option for challenging industrial settings and for operations requiring sustained high-volume output.
Crafted from premium industrial-grade diamond and encased in high-precision stainless steel, our diamond orifices are specifically engineered. They are designed to manage extreme pressure environments effectively, all while helping to maintain outstanding jet stability and precise cutting. These components are frequently integrated into both abrasive waterjet and pure water cutting systems, finding extensive use across sectors like aerospace, automotive, stone processing, metal fabrication, and glass manufacturing.

Main Features

Extended Service Life
Due to its inherent hardness, diamond offers substantial resistance against wear and erosion, surpassing ruby in durability. This characteristic typically contributes to a longer operational lifespan for the orifice, potentially leading to fewer replacements over time.
Enhanced Cutting Accuracy
The meticulously crafted diamond bore promotes the formation of a precisely aligned and concentrated water stream. This attention to detail often translates into cleaner cuts, reduced taper, better edge quality, and an overall improvement in machining precision.
Robust Pressure Handling
Engineered to function effectively in ultra-high-pressure settings, including those reaching 60,000 PSI, 90,000 PSI, or higher, these diamond orifices are built to perform consistently even in challenging cutting scenarios.
Consistent Operational Output
By promoting consistent jet formation and minimizing variations in flow, the diamond orifice can contribute to improved machine efficiency, help reduce downtime, and support more stable production over extended periods.
Broad System Integration
These orifices are designed to integrate with a wide range of leading waterjet systems, such as those from FLOW, KMT, BFT, OMAX, ACCUSTREAM, TECHNI, WSI, alongside many other standard Waterjet Cutting Machines.
