Abstract
A pressurized fluid jet cutting head is provided. The cutting head includes a body having one or more component parts coupled together, wherein a junction in the cutting head is defined between a first component part having a first engagement surface and a second component part having a second engagement surface, wherein the first and second engagement surfaces abut at the junction. A temperature sensor is positioned in thermal communication with the body and is configured to measure a temperature value of at least one of the first component part, the second component part, and the junction. The temperature value is communicated to a controller for analysis, wherein the controller receives the measured temperature value and communicates operating instructions for the cutting head based on a comparison of the measured temperature value to a predetermined value.
