How much does the WardJet M-7540 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the WardJet M-7540 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-7540 extends the M-Series table to 295" x 157.2" (7.5 m x 4 m). At that length the question is no longer whether a sheet fits but how many are on the table at once, and whether a single long part, a beam flange or a boat panel, can be cut without repositioning.
For long single parts, what matters is that accuracy holds along the travel. WARDJet states the figure as ±0.003" per 3ft. per axis (± 0.08 mm per 0.9m per axis), a per-length value, so ask for the expected error over the full 7.5 m if the part runs end to end. Repeatability is ±0.001" per axis (±0.0254 mm per axis). The rack is precision ground and helical, which is what WARDJet credits for smooth motion and cut quality.
For multiple sheets, the three Z-carriages and the 2000 in/min (50.8 m/min) top speed do the work. Several sheets fit along the table, and the mid-rail design means each can be loaded and unloaded from the side while cutting continues elsewhere.
Plan the building around it: the footprint is 34' 2" x 20' 4" (10.4 m x 6.2 m), before the pump, the SmartFeed 400/ Axxiom 1000lb Hopper (450 kg) and material staging. Z travel is 12" (0.3 m). The gantry supply is 230V 30 amps, Three Phase, and the machine runs MOVE and WARDCAM. One size up, the M-10040 reaches 32' 8" (10.0 m) of Y travel.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 295" x 157.2" (7.5 m x 4 m) cutting area for long parts or several sheets in a row
- Precision ground helical rack and pinion, 0.01 in/min - 2000 in/min (0.25 mm/min - 50.8 m/min)
- Up to 3 Z-carriages, 3-axis or 5-axis
- Side access along the whole length from the mid-rail design
- ±0.001" per axis (±0.0254 mm per axis) repeatability
Limitations
- Footprint of 34' 2" x 20' 4" (10.4 m x 6.2 m)
- Accuracy is quoted per 3ft., which says little about error over 7.5 m
- Z travel of 12" (0.3 m) is the same as on the smallest M-Series table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The one-carriage X-Y cutting area is 295" x 157.2" (7.5 m x 4 m). Z travel is 12" (0.3 m). The overall footprint is 34' 2" x 20' 4" (10.4 m x 6.2 m).
02
03
A precision ground helical rack and pinion. WARDJet states that it ensures smooth motion and excellent cut quality. Listed repeatability is ±0.001" per axis (±0.0254 mm per axis).
04
The bulk feed hopper row reads SmartFeed 400/ Axxiom 1000lb Hopper (450 kg). With up to 3 Z-carriages cutting at once, abrasive use rises with the number of heads, so check refill intervals against your longest nests.
