How much does the WardJet R-4014 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the WardJet R-4014 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 R-4014 is the longest R-Series waterjet, with a one-carriage cutting area of 40' x 13.1' (12.19 m x 4 m). WARDJet says the series came about because customers wanted a machine larger than its standard Z-Series table, and at 40' this model is the far end of that request.
Its footprint is 54' x 20.8' (16.46 m x 6.32 m), so the building comes first. The machine needs a bay with crane cover along the full length, since plate for a table like this is not moved by hand, and the pump and the 1100 lb pressurized abrasive hopper have to be placed where their lines can follow a gantry that travels 40'.
WARDJet describes the R-Series as a helical rack and split pinion unit designed to hold very tight tolerances. The published figures are ± 0.010" per axis (± 0.25 mm per axis) for positional accuracy and ± 0.005" per axis (± 0.13 mm per axis) for repeatability, so "tight" should be read in the context of a 40' machine and checked against the drawing tolerances of the parts.
Up to 6 Z-carriages are supported, and with two carriages the cutting area is listed as 40' x 14.1' (12.19 m x 4.31 m). Speed is 0.01 in/min - 500 in/min based on 230 volts. For work that needs 5-axis heads over a similar length, WARDJet's GX-4816 lists a 50' x 15.8' (15.24 m x 4.83 m) cutting area.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 40' x 13.1' (12.19 m x 4 m) cutting area, the longest in the R-Series
- Up to 6 Z-carriages on one gantry
- Helical rack and split pinion drive on the long axis
- Two-carriage cutting area of 40' x 14.1' (12.19 m x 4.31 m)
Limitations
- Needs a 54' x 20.8' (16.46 m x 6.32 m) bay
- Published accuracy is ± 0.010" per axis (± 0.25 mm per axis)
- A 500 in/min top speed makes end-to-end moves on a 40' table slow
- No Z-axis travel is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
40' x 13.1' (12.19 m x 4 m) with one carriage and 40' x 14.1' (12.19 m x 4.31 m) with two carriages. The footprint is 54' x 20.8' (16.46 m x 6.32 m).
02
WARDJet says the R-Series is designed to hold very tight tolerances. The table lists ± 0.010" per axis (± 0.25 mm per axis) linear positional accuracy and ± 0.005" per axis (± 0.13 mm per axis) repeatability.
03
A maximum of 6. On a table this long they are typically grouped to cut several sheets in one pass, fed from the listed 1100 lb pressurized bulk feed hopper.
04
Software options are Ikuhlu, WARDCAM and IGEMS. The gantry requires 230V, 30 amps, 3 Phase and 80 psi, 2 cfm (5.52 bar, 0.06 cmm) of air. The pump has its own supply, which the table does not list.
