Use Cell Phone as a Wireless Pendant for Your Waterjet

With the WARDJet X-Series Controllers, windows mobile cell phones can be used as a pendant to run your waterjet from anywhere in the world.  With the combination of video and wireless pendant, you can stop, start, change cutting speed, view a color image of the part being cut and a host of other functional features.  You literally have control wherever you are.

I can be almost anywhere in the world and with the touch of an icon, view the cameras and see the waterjet, and with another touch of an icon, see exactly what is on the controller, the time left to completion of the job etc.  And you too could have this.  There is no charge for the cell phone software once you have the wireless PDA option, and the program can be loaded on as many cell phones as you wish.

Cell Phone to Monitor WARDJet Cameras

WARDJet now offer the ability to literally monitor as many cameras as you wish live from your cell phone.  You can zoom and pan the cameras from the cell phone so if you are at your desk, lunch, at home watching TV or in Europe, all you need is phone service to the internet and you are live on the shop floor. 

We also have cameras with built in sound so you can hear what is happening.  You can talk to the shop too!

So no matter where you are, you can see and monitor and run the waterjet remotely.

Amazing.  WARDJet at work.  Changing the way waterjet businesses run.

Shipping ZXA-813

It never ceases to amaze me how we are able to load a complete machine in about 30 minutes.  This unit shipped this week.  It is the 3^rd machine this customer has purchased from WARDJet which we appreciate.  They purchased their very first unit from us as a used waterjet in 2003.

Open House AMRC / Boeing

I had a great trip and the open house was fantastic.  AMRC / Boeing / Rolls Royce have a phenomenal facility and now with the WARDJet waterjet they have added more capability.  And as for the angels – I was wondering if this is what is in store for us long term…. (taken in Barcelona over the weekend!)

Olivetti Laptop from 1986

OK – so I was going through some stuff at home and found my first laptop from 1986.  An Olivetti made in Italy – top of the line personal computer.  What was most amazing is we plugged it in and it fired up as if I had turned it off yesterday.  It runs off two floppy drives with minimal hard drive memory.

We have come a long way with the X-Classic controller and our own software division that even makes our own circuit boards!  Who would ever have guessed

Shipping a JXL-813 WaterJet

We literally just pick up the entire JXL-813 Pure Water Waterjet, with chain drive and 6 foot offloading platform and ship it as one piece.  This unit was shipped today.  I must say this is still a true engineering marvel for anyone looking at pure water only cutting.

Z-813 Waterjet - Floor Model Ships

It always puts a smile on my face when we are told by a prospective customer they can buy a 'floor model' from another company at a good price. I can't help asking myself, how many floor models do people have! Do they build machines and then use the excuse to discount a unit as floor model? Well, here are photos of our floor model shipping today. It was built in September 2006, and has been used every day to demonstrate our waterjet capabilities to anyone who comes to visit. We replaced it 2 weeks ago with a ZX-813 with the X-Classic controller along with several options and capabilities that are not available on the 3 year old treasure. We also sold it with a shorter as-new warranty so we took the opportunity to strip it down and go over the unit with a toothcomb. We re-mapped and ball barred the unit and were able to see any wear patterns etc. What was pleasing to us all, is the great shape of all the working components such as ball screws, bearing, linear rails etc. So, yes we do sell 'floor models', which at our current rate is every 3 years. Sorry if you were looking for a good deal on a great machine. Give us a call in 2 1/2 years and I am sure we can get you an excellent deal.☺
