The Z-513 Waterjet

Z513 waterjet cutting system

Our Z-Series and R-Series waterjets are the highest accuracy machines we build.

WARDJet's Z-513 has been uniquely designed for overseas shipping. We created this machine with the largest cutting envelope possible to still have it fit into a shipping container fully assembled. This allows it to be shipped anywhere in the world with only minimal set-up upon arrival. Our overseas customers have enjoyed the benefits of the tank already being fully welded together when it arrives, as well as all of the accessory items being located within the tank. The Z-513 has a huge cutting envelope, yet our compact design has a footprint similar to many competitors 4' x 8' size waterjets.

How to Unload a Shipping Container from WARDJet

Our Z-513 is loaded with unique features you will only find on a WARDJet waterjet. For example, the Z-513 waterjet allows for a large variety of different sizes of materials to be cut with any number of cutting heads. By having an extra foot of space on our crossbeam, beyond the standard 12" of travel, the second Z carriage has room to be parked when not needed. This still allows the remaining head to have a full 12" of travel giving you incredible freedom as you choose how to use your machine.

Preparing your parts to be cut on the Z-513 is quick and easy. Most people are able to reach the middle of the table from the front and back of the unit. Different materials and parts can be loaded and unloaded anywhere on the table at the same time without having to climb onto it.

All WARDJet waterjets are built to allow unlimited length sheets or parts to be fed through the front and out the back of the waterjet. All Z-Series waterjets have an easy indexing system that makes it practical to move longer sheets through the machine.

The Z-513 comes with all the fantastic features that are standard with any Z-Series machine, including the freedom to choose which type or combination of grating and clamping system you want from our options. Following are the statistics for a standard Z-513:
