Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If equipped with additional mechanical milling tools
Machines combining water-jet with mechanical cutting processes are classified under other machine tools for working metal by removal.
If for industrial semiconductor wafer preparation
Specialized water-jet apparatus for precise semiconductor material processing may fall under machines not elsewhere specified.
If primarily for precision measurement or testing
Water-jet systems used mainly for non-destructive testing rather than material removal classify as measuring instruments.
