Overview

The WARDJet X-5 is a 5-axis waterjet with a tilting head listed at ±60 degrees, offered on tables from 4x4 ft to 10x20 ft. WARDJet does not list an X-5 among its present models, and the listed figures are few, so use them as a starting point for inspecting a real machine.

A ±60 degree tilt covers bevels and chamfered edges on plate. It does not reach the horizontal, so side cutting on formed parts is outside its range. The control is listed as WARDJet IntelliCAM with 5-axis kinematics.

Pump options are given as 60K or 90K PSI, and which one is fitted changes cutting speed considerably. Rapid positioning is up to 35 m/min and positioning accuracy is ±0.05 mm, on a US-built steel welded gantry. Abrasive is delivered by precision abrasive metering. Auto-fill is optional, so do not assume it is present.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How far does the X-5 cutting head tilt?

The tilt head is listed as 5-axis with a range of ±60 degrees. That is enough for bevels and chamfers on flat material, and the control is listed with 5-axis kinematics to drive it.

02 What table sizes and pumps were offered on the X-5?

Table options run from 4x4 ft to 10x20 ft, and pump options are 60K or 90K PSI. Both vary from machine to machine, so establish the table size and the pump of the specific unit before comparing it with anything else.

03 Does the X-5 refill its abrasive automatically?

Only if the option was ordered. The abrasive system is listed as precision abrasive metering with optional auto-fill, so a machine without that option is topped up by hand.
