In the Aerospace and Defense sector, precision and reliability aren’t just goals; they’re mission-critical. From trimming carbon-fiber fuselage components to cutting complex alloy parts, manufacturers need a waterjet system that keeps up with the demands of flight-grade engineering.
That’s where the WARDJet A-Series stands out.

Unmatched Accuracy for Advanced Materials

Aerospace components often require micron-level accuracy on materials like aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, and proprietary alloys. The A-Series achieves this through ultra-tight tolerances and a cold-cutting process with zero heat-affected zones, ensuring the structural integrity of each piece remains intact.
That precision allows teams to cut both thin skins and thick composite stacks without a single changeover, delivering consistency from prototype to production.

Speed, Reliability, and Repeatability

When turnaround times matter, the A-Series combines high-speed cutting motion with dependable uptime. Its enclosed design ensures a clean, quiet, and safe workspace—perfect for high-spec environments where quality control is paramount.
Operators can expect consistent part-to-part repeatability, minimal maintenance, and fewer reworks, saving valuable shop hours and maximizing throughput.

Versatility that Adapts to Every Mission

From trimming interior panels to shaping structural components, the A-Series’ modular setup adapts to your process. With easy part fixturing, and intelligent software control, it handles complex geometries and transitions from thin composites to thick metals effortlessly.
It’s built to help aerospace manufacturers innovate faster and with greater flexibility.

Case in Point: Large-Scale Aerospace Solutions

A great example of WARDJet innovation in action comes from our collaboration with a leading aerospace supplier. When the customer needed to trim two massive components, each 10 feet wide and 3 feet tall, our team designed a custom waterjet system with an extended-reach 5-axis head and specialized fixturing.
The outcome: faster production, precision results, and a partnership that continues to push aerospace manufacturing forward.

Expanding Possibilities Through Automation

As automation continues to reshape aerospace manufacturing, WARDJet systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with robotic arms and advanced handling solutions. This compatibility supports automated loading, part transfer, and even multi-stage finishing operations—helping manufacturers boost efficiency while maintaining precision.
For shops looking to take the next step toward fully automated workflows, WARDJet’s sister brand AXYZ offers the LoadLine Series, an automated sheet loading and unloading system engineered for router platforms. While LoadLine is currently tailored for AXYZ routers, it reflects our shared commitment across the AAG family to advancing automated, high-throughput production environments.
