Estimated price range
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 Z-Series 3060 is a heavy large-format waterjet: a 3,000 x 6,000 mm (118 x 236 in / ~10 x 20 ft) cutting area on a machine weighing approx. 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) excluding the pump unit. This designation is missing from the catalogue WARDJet publishes now, and the listed figures serve as a reference for a machine bought second-hand.
Weight is the first planning item. The approx. 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) is the figure before the pump is added and before the tank is filled, so the working load on the floor is higher still. Foundation, rigging and access into the building need to be settled early.
Pump pressure is listed at up to 90,000 psi (6,200 bar), with pump power of 50–125 HP depending on the selected pump configuration. At full pump pressure, thickness capacity is up to 200 mm in steel and up to 300 mm in soft materials. Sections that thick cut slowly on any waterjet, and feed rates are described only as dependent on material and quality.
Positioning accuracy is ±0.08 mm and rapid traverse is up to 8,000 mm/min. That combination points to large plate and structural parts cut to size in one setup, where travel time between cuts is a small share of the job.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,000 x 6,000 mm (118 x 236 in / ~10 x 20 ft) cutting area
- Pump pressure up to 90,000 psi (6,200 bar)
- Thickness capacity up to 200 mm in steel and up to 300 mm in soft materials at full pump pressure
- Pump power from 50–125 HP depending on the selected pump configuration
- Positioning accuracy of ±0.08 mm
Limitations
- Weighs approx. 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) excluding the pump unit, a serious foundation and rigging job
- Rapid traverse is up to 8,000 mm/min, modest for a 6,000 mm axis
- Feed rates depend on material and quality, and no cutting speeds are listed
- No Z travel, head type or control is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed cutting area is 3,000 x 6,000 mm (118 x 236 in / ~10 x 20 ft). Leave room around it as well: plate of that size has to be craned or forked on, and the pump unit stands apart from the table.
02
Approx. 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) excluding the pump unit. Water in the tank, abrasive and the pump itself add to that, so a structural check of the floor and a rigging plan belong at the start of the project.
03
Up to 200 mm in steel and up to 300 mm in soft materials, both at full pump pressure. Full pressure here means up to 90,000 psi (6,200 bar), which only a pump rated for it will deliver.
04
An intensifier pump of 50–125 HP, depending on the selected pump configuration, at up to 90,000 psi (6,200 bar). A machine at the lower end of that power range reaches the same pressure with a smaller orifice and so cuts more slowly.
