Our best estimate for a cnc waterjet cutting in this class — not a quote from WardJet. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The WARDJet E-Series 2040 is a CNC waterjet with a listed cutting area of 2,000 x 4,000 mm (79 x 157 in / ~6.6 x 13 ft) and a pressure rating of up to 87,000 psi (6,000 bar). WARDJet's present lineup does not include this model, so the listed figures are best read as a guide to what a used example should offer.

Pressure is the headline, and it comes with a condition. The 87,000 psi (6,000 bar) ceiling depends on the intensifier pump fitted, and pump power is given as 30–75 HP depending on the selected pump unit. Two machines sold under this name can therefore cut at quite different rates, which makes the pump nameplate as important as the table. At full pump pressure the listed cutting thickness is up to 150 mm in steel and up to 250 mm in soft materials.

Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.08 mm and rapid traverse at up to 6,000 mm/min. Across a 4,000 mm axis that rapid rate makes long repositioning moves slow, so nests that keep consecutive cuts close together run better. Cutting feed is described only as material-dependent.

The machine weighs approx. 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) excluding the pump unit. The pump and the water in the tank add to the floor load, and the pump needs its own space beside the table.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Cutting area of 2,000 x 4,000 mm (79 x 157 in / ~6.6 x 13 ft)
Rated for pump pressure up to 87,000 psi (6,000 bar) with a suitable intensifier pump
Listed cutting thickness of up to 150 mm in steel and up to 250 mm in soft materials at full pump pressure
Pump power of 30–75 HP depending on the selected pump unit, so the pump can be matched to the work
Positioning accuracy listed at ±0.08 mm

Limitations

Rapid traverse tops out at 6,000 mm/min, slow for repositioning along a 4,000 mm axis
Cutting feed rates are given only as material-dependent, with no figures by material or thickness
The approx. 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) weight excludes the pump unit, which has to be added to floor and space planning
No Z travel, repeatability or drive type is listed

Best For

Plate and sheet up to 2,000 x 4,000 mm (79 x 157 in) Steel up to the listed 150 mm at full pump pressure Soft materials up to the listed 250 mm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size sheet fits the E-Series 2040?

The listed cutting area is 2,000 x 4,000 mm (79 x 157 in / ~6.6 x 13 ft). Material larger than that in either direction has to be trimmed first or cut in more than one setup.

02 What pressure and pump power does the E-Series 2040 run at?

Up to 87,000 psi (6,000 bar), with pump power of 30–75 HP depending on the selected pump unit. Both figures hinge on the pump, so confirm the make, rating and condition of the intensifier on the machine in front of you.

03 How thick can the E-Series 2040 cut?

The listed figures give up to 150 mm in steel and up to 250 mm in soft materials, both at full pump pressure. A machine with a pump that cannot reach 87,000 psi (6,000 bar) should not be expected to match them.

04 How heavy is the E-Series 2040?

Approx. 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) excluding the pump unit. The pump, the water in the tank and the abrasive come on top of that figure, so plan the floor loading and the rigging from the total, not from the table alone.
