The SL-IV intensifier helps Nova precisely cut glass for sculptures and architectural accessories using 55,000 psi of hydraulic pressure through a 0.012-inch orifice.

The company uses a SL-IV 50 hp intensifier from Ingersoll-Rand (Baxter Springs, KS) for cutting its three-dimensional glass sculptures. The intensifier is a plunger pump with variable-displacement, pressure-compensated hydraulics that generates up to 55,000 psi of cutting pressure.
Ingersoll-Rand's SL-IV intensifier focuses water through a small 0.012-inch orifice and forms a water-cutting stream with a velocity of 2.5 times greater than the speed of sound. "The pre-aligned cartridge body, orifice, and focusing tube produces an exact hydro-abrasive stream that cuts fast, says Vujcic.
