IKHULU: Waterjet Motion Control

Ikuhlu is WARDJet’s fast, user friendly, easy to learn waterjet controller software. Its advanced capabilities allow you to reliably waterjet cut quality parts efficiently.

User Friendly with Advanced Capability

Ikuhlu is WARDJet’s fast, user friendly, easy to learn waterjet controller software. Its advanced capabilities allow you to reliably waterjet cut quality parts efficiently. This software was developed using decades of waterjet experience.

Jump to Anywhere

Touch the screen near the geometry where you want to start cutting. Part cutting will resume cutting near the point selected on screen. Pierce point mode allows you to select the beginning of a contour by touching the screen near the point where you want to start. The program will execute from this point.

Consumable Management

Track an unlimited number of consumable items in real time. Accurate information on consumables helps with preventative maintenance and saves time.

Teach Parts

Using the built-in “Teach” mode, the machine can be used as a digitizer the size of the waterjet table. Just use the controller’s jog controls to “trace” your template, point by point, to create CNC files right at the controller! Drawing curves and lines are fast and simple – no need to use CAD/CAM software.

Features & Benefits

Email Notification

The controller can be configured to send out e-mail notification after the completion of a part. E-mails include an image of the part that was cut, along with who cut it and the amount of time it took to cut.

Remote Diagnostics

Tech support and diagnostic troubleshooting can be done anywhere in the world. A skilled technician can control your waterjet remotely through the internet.

Gantry Monitor

Squareness of a gantry system is critical to cutting accurate parts. The controller continuously monitors motor travel and notifies the operator when it’s time to re-home.

User Passwords

Each user receives a unique password, and can be put into one of three user levels (Operator, Power Operator or Administrator). Each user level can have its permissions easily changed by an administrator.
