Abstract: Abrasive waterjet technology can machine ductile, brittle, and composite materials without producing any heat-affected zone. In the competitive manufacturing field, the main goal of the manufacturer is to produce products with high quality, low cost, and in less time. All these goals can be attained by the automation of a complete abrasive waterjet system. Hence, this paper presents a review of online process monitoring of abrasive waterjet technology. Here, the overall methodology of process monitoring in abrasive waterjet technology is elaborated. The methodology involved sensor selection, signal processing, feature generation and selection, and the application of modelling techniques for prediction of responses. This review will provide the researchers with a complete source of information for online process monitoring of abrasive waterjet technology.

Keywords: abrasive waterjet; monitoring; sensor; signal; feature selection.
