Add New Life to your Waterjet!


    Are you looking for a way to extend the capabilities of your current waterjet? Most people think that the only way to add more to your waterjet cutting capabilities is to purchase an entirely new system. Sometimes, the only thing holding your system back from working better for you is the hardware and software controlling the machine. If you would like to expand the possibilities of your machine, perhaps a controller retrofit is right for you.

  

    Many of the innovations that WARDJet offers come from our controller hardware and intuitively designed software. From loading parts, adding sheets, and editing programs right at the controller, WARDJet has worked hard to make these processes as user-friendly as possible. Whether the user is a waterjet newcomer or  has been using a waterjet for years, our controllers and Ikuhlu software allow for full control at any skill level.

    No matter what your current make or model, WARDJet has a solution for you. If you decide to retrofit your current controller, a WARDJet installer will come to your site, install all the necessary hardware and software, and train you on the use of the new controller. We also offer the option of laser calibrating your current machine to make sure it is as accurate as possible. After a controller retrofit you will enjoy many of the features of a brand new WARDJet on your current machine, including WARDJet support via remote diagnostics.




    As you can see from the photos, WARDJet can retrofit almost any existing waterjet with our controller. Visit our retrofit page to find out more. If you'd like to see if WARDJet can breathe new life into your current waterjet system, contact us and tell us about your current system and what features you would like to add.

Custom ZXL-45 with Shuttle Tables


  Not every custom machine needs to be designed from the ground up. With WARDJet's modular design, it's easy to take something standard and modify a few small details to make it completely custom. A perfect example is this ZXL-45 with custom shuttle tables. Our customer needed a quick way to load and unload material in order to maximize their cutting time. Also, they required a system that would minimize the spray on the material that is being cut. With just a few modifications to a standard Z-45, we were able to fulfill all of their needs.

  Most times, a custom machine will also need custom electronics, sensors, and logic to operate properly. Since WARDJet designs and builds it's own circuits, software, and programs, you can be sure that your custom equipment will function seamlessly with your WARDJet waterjet. Below, Richard Ward talks about the design of the custom ZXL-45 machine and some of the features including a unique table lock system.

  If you have an application that you feel just can't be handled with a standard waterjet system, give us a call. The solution might be easier than you think.

WARDJet Introduces the Infini Winder 5-Axis Cutting Head


   At WARDJet, we pride ourselves on consistently pushing waterjet technology forward. It's this drive that led us to develop the Infini Winder 5-Axis Cutting Head. One of the greatest challenges of programming and cutting 5-axis parts is calculating or predicting the winding and unwinding of the cutting head. We saw this limitation and set about to get rid of it all together. With the Infini Winder, you are able to have full 360° freedom in cutting. This enables you to cut on the inside or outside of a cylinder while continuously wrapping around the circumference.
   Below, President Richard Ward introduces the Infini Winder and explains the construction and design of this revolution in 5-axis cutting. For more information on the Infini Winder, visit our 5-axis page, or call us today!

Video: R-3014 In Action

The R-3014 is a large format, helical rack and split pinion driven machine that holds tight tolerances and fulfills even the largest of requirements. It has the ability to fit three 4' x 12' sheets, or two 6' x 12' sheets which could easily be loaded and cut simultaneously with 2 or 3 cutting heads. This particular system is outfitted with two standard cutting heads and a Psy-Winder 5-axis cutting head.
