Ultra-High Pressure Computer Vision Technology

In modern ultra-high pressure (UHP) water applications, precision is no longer dependent solely on pressure and flow—it is driven by what the system can see. Our vision-integrated technology transforms UHP water cutting and cleaning from open-loop operations into intelligent, closed-loop processes guided by real-time visual data.
By combining high-resolution imaging, laser profiling, andscene interpretation, our vision systems enable water jets to recognize contours, detect material boundaries, and adapt instantly to changing surface conditions.

Vision for UHP Water Cutting

Edge Detection & Contour Tracking

High-speed cameras and structured light sensors capture workpiece geometry in real time. The system detects edges, cut lines, and pre-marked references to guide the cutting head with sub-millimeter accuracy—even on irregular or pre-existing parts.

Automated Nesting & Path Optimization

Vision-based pre-scanning enables automatic part recognition and nesting optimization. The system identifies the most efficient cutting sequence, reducing material waste and cycle time.

Kerf Monitoring & Quality Control

During cutting, the vision system monitors the kerf width and jet penetration. Any deviation triggers immediate parameter adjustment, ensuring consistent cut quality without manual inspection.

3D Scanning & Bevel Cutting

For complex geometries, integrated 3D profilers generate surface models to enable bevel and taper-controlled cutting. The waterjet nozzle orientation is dynamically adjusted to maintain perpendicular or angled precision across freeform surfaces.

Vision for UHP Water Cleaning

Contaminant Recognition & Adaptive Cleaning

Surface contamination—rust, coatings, marine growth—varies in thickness and adhesion. Our vision systems classify contaminant types and map their distribution, then adjust pressure, standoff distance, and traverse speed accordingly. Heavily fouled areas receive more energy; clean areas are passed over rapidly.

Robotic Guidance & Coverage Mapping

In automated tank cleaning, ship hull maintenance, or infrastructure rehabilitation, vision-guided robots navigate complex environments. Real-time visual feedback prevents missed areas and over-processing, generating verifiable coverage reports for compliance.

Post-Cleaning Inspection

Integrated inspection cameras immediately verify surface cleanliness against predefined standards (e.g., SSPC, NACE). The system flags insufficiently cleaned zones for re-treatment—eliminating the need for separate manual inspection.

Safety Zone Detection

Vision systems identify the presence of personnel or obstacles within the operating envelope. Upon detection, the system automatically halts or redirects the water jet, ensuring safe human-robot collaboration.
