'ram' is another way to say 'sink' eroding, the kind that uses a shaped tool
'wire' is for cutting thru a plate
'tube' or 'drill' or hole popper' for holes
'grinder' for for open surfaces

multiple solenoids can be used to control flow
if a series of ports are on a single feeding pipe
then the output of 1 has most pressure and least flow
and
when 6 ports of same size are open, the result is more flow and less 
pressure
i think monitoring/sensing flow is more useful than pressure
in my experiance low flushing pressure with 'enough' flow reduces wear
and high pressure increases wear
i have used radically high pressure on rib cuts and got high removal 
rates ( high penetration speeds )
but always had high wear, and even risked deforming the thin long tool. 
(jumpin is more practical IMO )

in some machines, we had a variable flow control
it was essentially a dc motor connected to simple garden valve
there was a limit switch set to indicate when the valve was closed
software control of flow was simple
if you wanted a new flow rate...
close the valve ( turn motor in one direction till switch closed )
then back the motor off N plc cycle periods ( this opened the valve 
proportional to the time )
a flow gauge was used to set the levels , so each machines' plumbing 
variations didnt matter to the lookup table
