WARDJet Inc., Tallmadge, Ohio is a leading manufacturer of abrasive water jet cutting machines in the USA. Our focus is on setting business owners’ imaginations free when it comes to the automation of almost anything. Our goal has been to design and build a CNC water jet gantry that would be recognized as the leading water jet cutting platform in the industry, yet be sturdy, stable and rigid enough to be considered the most versatile automation platform ever available to consumers.
Engineered to achieve these goals and more, a WARDJet water jet system is “not just a waterjet”. Using our X-Classic Controller for example, if you want to mark the names of each part, then use the water jet to cut a hole, then ream and tap a thread in the same hole, automatically wash and dry and rotate the part, have a silicone gun run a perfect bead of sealant, then attach another mating part by hand, all without taking the part off the table, you may want to consider a water jet system by WARDJet. “We want our customers to daydream about automating their processes, we are simply making it possible” --Richard Ward, Owner and President of WARDJet ![]()
From November 1, 2008, as long as certain criteria are met, WARDJet is offering a Guaranteed Uptime on any X-Series Water Jet Cutting System located in North America and a 2 year limited warranty or 4000 hours on a pump. So, if a WARDJet water jet system is not cutting within the criteria of the agreement, WARDJet will pay the customer $100 per hour for a maximum of $800 per day until the water jet cutting system is back in operation. That's how much we believe in your success! ![]()

The WARDJet Z-Series water jets are high tolerance, ball screw driven water jet cutting systems designed with the operator in mind. A friendly touch screen controller, up to 12" Z-carriage travel, proven abrasive feed system, easy-to-use PC software, modular multi-purpose grating support and clamping system have all been engineered to help your water jet operation run efficiently and effectively.
WARDJet ZX-813-5 5-Axis Water Jet Cutting Machine
The R-Series water jets are a
combination ball screw and high precision helical rack and split pinion water jet cutting system.
A rack & pinion drive system on the X axis allows for unlimited travel. Driving the Y axis is
a ballscrew with the X axis risers mounted on linear bearings. This combination makes the R-Series
water jets extremely high tolerance machines. A touch screen controller, Z-carriage with up to 12”
travel, abrasive feed system, and PC software are just some of the features incorporated into
WARDJet water jets.

The L-Series was designed by the engineering team of WARDJet to meet our customers ever growing needs. More and more we come across customers with water only applications including specialized packaging, insulation, sound reduction, flooring (linoleum) and other products made from rubber, foam, and soft materials. We were approached by a customer to build a, high speed, high accuracy, water only cutting system with 5-axis capability. To achieve the high speed requirement there were two options: linear motion or belt drive. Good accuracy is achievable by either of these drive systems, but linear motion control is renowned for its excellent accuracies, placement repeatability and reliability. With that the L-Series was born. ![]()

The JX-813 has been designed for the end user who specializes in cutting materials with PURE WATER.
This would typically include materials such as foam, rubber, insulation, plastic, acrylics, cloth, leather, fiber board and so on. In some cases this will include fiber glass, carbon fiber and wood, but better results may be achieved using an abrasive system.![]()

Drawing from our many years of experience in the water jet industry and expanding on the
successful Z-Series and R-Series water jets,WARDJet has developed a motion control system
that can take your water jet cutting business to the next level. Just some of the features available
include an advanced internet connection at your water jet controller, a direct communication link to
technical support, a dual touch screen controller, the capability to run multiple 5 axis water jet cutting heads and
taper compensation!
