Variable Speed Mini-Hopper Upgrade

The WARDJet variable speed mini-hopper now allows the abrasive flow to be reduced automatically from within the software and program. When cutting stone, glass, ceramic tiles, laminates, phoenolics, lexan, acrylic, composites, carbon fiber or any material that is fragile, brittle or is difficult to pierce, a low-pressure pierce is critical to reduce the risk of damage to the material in the pierce procedure. As the water pressure is reduced, the abrasive flow to the cutting head is also reduced to balance the reduction in vacuum generated by the cutting head. The result is less blockages in the pierce procedure, and a substantial increase in consistency when low pressure piercing. If ordered with a new waterjet, the variable speed mini-hopper can be specified for an additional charge (roughly 25% of the cost of a new unit if purchased separately).
