How much does the WardJet M-10040 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the WardJet M-10040 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The WARDJet M-10040 is the longest M-Series waterjet, with 32' 8" (10.0 m) of Y travel and 13' 1" (4.0 m) of X travel. Its table is laid out differently from the smaller M-Series pages: WARDJet gives axis travels instead of a cutting area, and Z travel is 1' (0.3 m).
Ten metres of travel covers several sheets in a row, or one very long component. WARDJet calls the M-Series a large-format solution for large and multiple sheet production, and this is the size where that description fully applies. The gantry carries up to 3 Z-carriages, and the series allows both 3-axis and 5-axis heads.
The speed row differs from the shorter machines. Here it reads 0.01 in/min – 1400in/min based on 230 volts (0.0254 cm/min - 35.56 m/min based on 230 volts), where the M-7540 lists a top figure of 2000 in/min. The drive is the same precision ground helical rack and pinion. Buyers comparing cycle times across the series should use the 1400 in/min figure for this model.
Some rows a buyer would want are absent. The page gives no positional accuracy or repeatability for the M-10040, no hopper size and no electrical supply figure, so those have to come from WARDJet's quotation. What is listed: a footprint of 42' 7" x 20.4' (13.0 m x 6.2 m), air at 80 psi, 2 cfm, and MOVE as the control software.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel is 13' 1" (4.0 m), Y travel is 32' 8" (10.0 m) and Z travel is 1' (0.3 m). The footprint of the machine is 42' 7" x 20.4' (13.0 m x 6.2 m).
02
03
WARDJet's page for the M-10040 does not list a positional accuracy or repeatability figure. The drive is a precision ground helical rack and pinion. The M-7540, the next size down, lists ±0.001" per axis (±0.0254 mm per axis) repeatability.
04
A maximum of 3 Z-carriages. WARDJet states that the M-Series offers up to 3 head positions as standard using both 3-axis and 5-axis waterjet heads, and that it can customize the machine with more head positions if needed.
