Increase Profits By Recycling Your Waterjet Abrasive





The revolutionary WARD Pro abrasive recycling system can significantly increase your profits by reducing waterjet abrasive costs. Using patented technology, the WARD Pro is able to convert up to 60% or more of used abrasive into recycled abrasive that allows you to cut at the same cutting speed and feed rate as new. After nearly a decade of field research and technical improvements, WARDJet is excited to offer this waterjet abrasive recycling system to all waterjet cutting companies and job shops at an affordable price.

The facts don’t lie! Watch the video of our WARD Pro abrasive recycling system in action and see how you can make your waterjet more profitable by recycling abrasive. Or visit our WARD Pro page and use the Savings Calculator to find out how much you could be saving every month by recycling your abrasive!

WARDJet Analytics: Get More From Your Waterjet!


WARDJet strives to help you get the most out of your waterjet cutting. We also understand that, as a business owner, it's not always possible to be on-site, monitoring your production. With that in mind, WARDJet has developed WARDJet Analytics, a simple tool for monitoring your waterjet.





How Does WARDJet Analytics Work?
WARDJet Analytics is a built-in feature of our Ikuhlu Control Software. Part program information and machine statistics are sent to a secure cloud server where you can access the information anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection and a browsing device. Your data is sent only to Analytics and can be viewed by yourself and those you give access.





What Does This Cost?
Absolutely nothing. WARDJet Analytics is offered as an included feature on any system using our Ikuhlu Controller Software. Contact us if you would like this added to your existing Ikuhlu package.

See a HUGE Waterjet Cutting Machine Installed! - WARDJet RRX


Due to the large tank size of the RRX-4016, the tank was split in half in order to fit it into a paint booth for painting and also for the shipment of the machine. For shipping, we attached wooden boards to the tank supports so the two halves can be easily stacked without damage. The tapered top of a WARDJet tank allows the two halves to fit securely into one another for safe shipping. Once on site, the two halves will be welded together, checked for water tightness, and painted.



At WARDJet, we have the flexibility to provide you with the right solution for your unique application. Whatever the size.

Another Z-2043 Abrasive Waterjet Out the Door!



With all the custom systems we build it's easy to forget that we're continually building standard systems as well. The foundation of almost every custom waterjet is one of our standard systems that we've perfected over the years and designed to be modular for easy modification. Today we shipped another standard Z-Series system with a standard cutting head, Variable Speed Mini Hopper, and 2 x 4.3 meter travel.

Waterjet Video: Assembly of Z-2543 Waterjet Cutting Machine with 3 Foot Z Travel





Think 12 inches of z-travel is impressive? How about 36? Watch as our modified crossbeam is being moved from it's assembly area to the extended risers on a Z-2543. This Z-Series machine will have a Z travel of 3 feet at the cutting head and will be fit with an Infini Winder 5-axis cutting head. The tank and most of the other components on this machine are standard for a Z-2543. This is a perfect example of how our modular design allows for increased capabilities with minimal effort. This design also allows for this 36 inch Z to be retrofitted to any existing Z-Series machine. The ability to design, engineer, and fabricate custom systems in-house allows WARDJet the flexibility to give customers the right tools for the job.

Waterjet Video: Dynamic Abrasive Mini Hopper





The Dynamic Mini Hopper is WARDJet's most accurate and easy to use waterjet abrasive mini hopper to date. The DMH allows operators to quickly change abrasive feed rates between part programs. Companies that cut varied materials and parts will find this capability useful when changing between nozzle/orifice combinations. Abrasive flow settings for various orifice sizes can be programmed in the DMH which allows the abrasive feed rate to be changed with the push of a button. 

Fragile materials like glass or composites require less abrasive and a low pressure pierce. With the DMH on your machine, the DMH automatically uses the programmed low pressure abrasive feed rate when the pump is in low pressure mode. With the advancements of this mini hopper, waterjet operators have much more control over their abrasive feed rate with much less effort.

WARDJet is Expanding Production!


As WARDJet grows, so too must our production space grow. We are currently preparing and pouring concrete for an additional 18,000 square feet of production space. This area will be the new home of our consistently expanding welding and fabrication department.




Increased space is becoming more and more important to WARDJet as we continue to build larger and larger waterjets. Already, our RRX-3014 has the ability to cut four 8' x 20' sheets on a single table, and our GCM Series, a 5-axis waterjet/mill combination machine, boasts sidebeams that are 26’ long and 6’ tall. As a manufacturer, we are committed to investing in the tools and space required to continue produce large-scale machines.



WARDJet is looking forward to this expansion and the opportunities it presents for us as we continue to break the preconceived notions of what a waterjet can be. Contact us today to find out more about WARDJet or to schedule a visit to our facility.

Video: 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting a Steel Tube






WARDJet's Inifini Winder and Psy-Winder 5-axis cutting heads have the ability to cut up to 90 degrees from vertical which is well beyond the capabilities of most 5-axis cutting heads. This capacity allows full 3D parts to be cut. Watch this test cut of a steel pipe with the Psy-Winder 5-axis cutting head.

Video: 5-Axis Waterjet Cutting Black Granite


Visit the WARDJet Waterjet Blog to watch the video.
Requires the latest version of adobe flash player.
 

WARDJet waterjets are incredibly versatile systems that can cut a broad array of materials. While most other cutting processes fail to cut intricate shapes into black granite, a waterjet succeeds!

With other methods of cutting, you might need to invest in developing high cost tooling to complete a cut like the one in the video above. This expensive tooling will only be usable for this exact material and application. However, a waterjet can cut this unique material and, immediately following, cut wood, steel, plastics, and more. Take a look at this 5-axis test cut of a 3D fan in 1 inch thick black granite.
