Engineers at WARDJet Inc. have designed two high-speed, high-production, American-made waterjets: the J-Series and L-Series. These waterjet cutting systems are paired with innovative solutions for material handling and automation to provide a competitive edge in the waterjet industry.

The J-Series is WARDJet’s low-cost, water-only waterjet. Using belt drive technology, the J-Series waterjets can cut at speeds of 2500 ipm with an acceleration and deceleration rate of 0.2m/s2. J-Series waterjets are ideal for companies looking to cut high volumes of parts where margins are low and tolerances are not as demanding. Also, the J-Series can accommodate the addition of material handling solutions such as loading/off-loading tables, as well as optical sensors to control chain feed tables or pinch feed rollers. The modular design of the J-Series waterjet makes it possible for small design changes to turn a standard waterjet system into a machine designed specifically for your application.
The L-Series is the fastest cutting waterjet offered at WARDJet. It uses a linear motion drive system, renowned for its excellent accuracies, placement repeatability, and reliability allowing customers to cut at incredible speeds of 7,000ipm with an acceleration and deceleration rate of 1m/ s2. The frame of the L-Series is made of thick-walled steel tubing to be able to accommodate multiple 5-axis cutting heads.
