Abstract
An operational monitoring system for use with a liquid jet cutting system can include an accelerometer coupled to a cutting head of the liquid jet cutting system. The accelerometer can be configured to generate motion data associated with movement of the cutting head. The system can include a computing device operably connected to the accelerometer and having a memory and a processor. The memory can store a planned data set including expected parameters associated with movement of the cutting head along a planned cut path. In some embodiments, the computing device is configured to receive the motion data from the accelerometer and correlate the motion data to the planned data set.
