The Z-813 Waterjet

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

If waterjet cutting is going to be the primary source of income for your company, then you should seriously consider the Z-813. Only 2' longer than the Z-613, the Z-813 has several major advantages, enabling you to substantially increase production by using multiple cutting heads and the extra 2' of length. Your Z-813 can cut up to three 4' x 8' sheets simultaneously with 3 cutting heads - so you can cut 3 times more product in the same time as a smaller machine, and all you have done is used an extra 2' of space on your floor! This is like buying 3 waterjets for the price of one!

By having an extra foot of space on our crossbeam beyond the standard 12" of travel, we have created room for a second Z carriage to be parked when not needed. The remaining head then has a full 12" of travel, giving you incredible freedom as you choose how to use your machine.

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-813 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. If you need increased production, a competitive advantage and freedom to grow, consider the Z-813. Following are the statistics for a standard Z-813:

Z-613 to Z-813: A Simple Transition

WARDJet's goal is to see you succeed! We've designed every aspect of our machines to help make this happen. One example of this is our machine designs, which allow your WARDJet waterjet to grow with your company.

Your Z-613 may be your first waterjet purchase, but we don't expect you to stop there. We anticipate you'll soon want increased capacity. So we've designed the Z-613 with many components that can be reused to change your machine into the larger Z-813. Instead of cutting one 4' x 8' sheet laying sideways on the Z-613, you can now triple your capacity to cutting three 4' x 8' sheets simultaneously on the Z-813, if you installed 3 cutting heads.

Some of the items that can be reused are as follows:

Cross beam and all items mounted on it
Burny Controller
Motors
Drivers and amplifiers
Whip stand
Blowers for pressurizing side and cross beam
Software
Intensifier Pump
Bulk Feed Hopper
Mini-hopper and cutting head
Complete Z-Carriage

By reusing these items you can see a substantial savings. This will allow you to increase your capacity without adding a whole new machine. We will even work with you to recover as many of the used components as possible. So the cost of changing over would be the cost of the new items, less whatever we can recover from the used parts.

Our installer would come to your facility and could, in less then a week, make this transition for you. Imagine what it could do for your business to be working with a company who isn't constantly trying to sell you another new machine, but is instead doing everything they can to save you money while helping you grow at your pace.
