A fluid jet cutting system includes a control unit configured to control the motion of a fluid jet cutting head of the fluid jet cutting system relative a workpiece to be cut. The control unit is coupled to a fluid jet cutting head drive configured to incline the fluid jet cutting head relative a vertical line. The control unit is configured to operate the motion of the fluid jet cutting head from a predetermined inclination angle value and other operational data. The control unit is configured to automatically adapt the speed of the fluid jet cutting head in accordance with the predetermined inclination angle value. A method controls the motion of the fluid jet cutting head of the fluid jet cutting system, in which the control unit is configured to operate the motion of the fluid jet cutting head from a predetermined inclination angle value.

To control cutting process with cutting quality to obtain product without any uncut portion on a corner portion, and to respond to a change in cutting speed. Water jet cutting performed by: inputting a cutting program, set cutting speed, cutting parameters; calculating cutting speed matching the cutting quality; calculating cutting shape from the cutting program and dividing the cutting shape into a linear portion and a corner portion; calculating a corner cutting speed for the corner portion on the basis of a shape of the corner portion within range from the calculation cutting speed to the set cutting speed, set cutting speed equal to or higher than the calculation cutting speed; set cutting speed and the corner cutting speed to the linear portion and the corner portion, respectively, in the cutting program; moving the nozzle relative to the workpiece on the basis of the cutting program assigned with cutting speeds.
