B. the tube is completely severed or separated and the cutting head with the acceleration sensor is preferably in the upper part of the tube, this separated tube part can then move freely depending on the surrounding material to a certain extent, these movements then from the acceleration sensor be detected. Such a movement is only possible if the tube is completely severed.
- the cutting monitoring device can be designed such that it recognizes from a change in the sensor signal of the hydrophone that the cutting beam contains abrasive. This makes it possible to check the function of the abrasive agent supply.

- a tube to a reduction in the pressure detected by the pressure sensor and / or detects a change in the sensor signal of the structure-borne sound sensor.
- the noise occurring on the wall or pipe wall also changes when the wall is completely pierced.
- the pressure drop can occur due to the fact that the water discharged from the cutting nozzle can escape radially outwards from a pipe to be cut from the inside and no longer accumulates in the interior of the pipe.
- each sensor alone can not detect the complete piercing of the wall or pipe wall, so that preferably the signals are evaluated in combination, for which purpose the cutting monitoring device or its evaluation device is designed accordingly.
- the cutting monitoring device cooperates with a control device for controlling a drive of the nozzle head, that the advancing movement of the nozzle head, ie in particular a rotational movement of the nozzle head in response to a signal of the cutting monitoring device is manually or automatically controlled ,
- the signal of the cutting monitoring device preferably represents a recognized complete penetration or piercing of the wall.
- the cutting monitoring device is designed such that it has a learning function. This learning function makes it possible to adapt the cutting monitoring device to different materials and environments.
- the learning function is designed such that the cutting monitoring device is manually brought to the knowledge of a complete severing or penetration of the wall or pipe wall, whereupon the cutting monitoring device detects and stores the current sensor signals. Ie. the cutter monitoring device learns how a complete penetration of the wall is currently sounding.
- the cutting monitoring device can then detect complete penetration or severing of the pipe wall in the further process sequence, ie during the further cutting process.
- the learning can be done for example in such a way that the nozzle head in a fixed Position is held and then a cutting jet is applied for a certain time, in which one can be sure that the pipe wall or wall must be completely cut through. This may be an experimentally determined time span in advance, for example a period of 10 minutes.

This makes it difficult to monitor the cutting operation by combining the signals from the four sensors, that is, the hydrophone 30, the pressure sensor 32, the structure-borne sound sensor 34, and the acceleration sensor 36 in combination.
- the control unit 26 evaluates the sensor signals in combination.
- the cutting process and the cutting control takes place as follows. After the introduction of the cutting head 2 in the tube in a desired axial position along the longitudinal axis X, the cutting head 2 is fixed in the tube 4 by extending the hydraulic drives or 22. After fixing, the cutting process is started by first starting the high-pressure water supply and then the abrasive agent supply via the supply unit 8. This process can be monitored particularly preferably by the hydrophone 30. At the noise in the water, with which fills the interior of the tube 4, it can be detected whether only water or a water-abrasive mixture emerges from the cutting nozzle 12.
- the cutting process begins, wherein the nozzle head 10 is initially not rotated until the cutting beam 14 has completely penetrated the pipe wall, that is, the metal pipes 38, 40 and 42 and the concrete 44th completely pierced in the interstices.
- This can be detected via the structure-borne sound sensor 34, wherein the signal of the hydrophone 30 and the pressure sensor 32 is used at the same time.
- the signals are evaluated in combination.
- the pressure sensor 32 detects a pressure drop in the interior of the pipe 4
- the structure-borne sound sensor 34 and the hydrophone 30 have to detect, for example, a corresponding change in the vibration image they capture, so that the control unit 26 determines that the pipe wall of the pipe 4 has been completely severed can close.
- the signal of the pressure sensor 32 would not suffice, since after severing the inner metal tube res 42, for example, if the space between the metal pipes 40 and 42 is not completely filled, already a pressure drop may occur without the pipe wall is completely severed.
- the nozzle head 10 After completely severing the pipe wall of the pipe 4 at a circumferential position, the nozzle head 10 is set in motion, making a rotation through 360 °. The rotational movement is carried out so slowly that the cutting jet 14 always cuts through the entire wall thickness of the tube 4. This is monitored by monitoring the sensor signals of the four sensors mentioned in combination.
- the rotational speed can be varied by the control unit. For example, the rotational speed can be slowed down if areas with thicker wall thickness are reached. A no longer complete cutting of the pipe wall is in turn detected by changing the signals of the sensors, in particular the vibration signal of the hydrophone 30 and the body sound sensor 34. In particular, an automatic control of the rotation or rotational speed of the nozzle head 10 in dependence on the detected sensor signals is possible.
- the rotational movement or rotational speed is controlled so that the feed rate as fast as possible, but as slow as necessary to ensure a complete penetration of the pipe wall is performed.
- the complete cutting through of the pipe can, in turn, be detected, in particular with the aid of the acceleration sensor 36.
- the acceleration sensor 36 When the pipe wall is completely severed, there may be movement of the severed part of the pipe 4, in FIG which the cutting head 2 is fixed come, this movement is detected by the acceleration sensor 36, since this is on the cutting head 2 with the tube 4 in a fixed connection.
