XL-4 Controller on Toolbox

WARDJet — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:13:28 +0000

As usual we offer many options to all we do and here we are showing the XL controller on a toolbox with wheels. There are several ways the controller can be mounted. On a stand, on a stand with wheels and on a toolbox. All you need to do is let us know. And best of all, you can always change this yourself if you wanted to at a later date.

Milling / Machining / Fabrication All Within 50 Feet

WARDJet — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:58:23 +0000

I get a great deal of satisfaction from seeing sheets of steel delivered then completely finished, fully functioning waterjets helping people make a living, leave. Our combination of milling and fabrication make this fun. Note the mill in the background behind the tank. Here you see the side beams being machined this morning, then mounted and welded into position on the J-86 this afternoon. Its great and 100% under our control.

6 Head Waterjet Retrofit Brings Life To A Discontinued Plasma

WARDJet — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:47:44 +0000

Bring life to your older plasma / oxy fuel systems. We do hardware retrofits as well as controller retrofits. This unit has 6 heads that are independently spaced relative to each other, all mounted onto what was a plasma cutting system. We modified the front control panel to receive two touch screens with our membrane panels installed for each cutting head. This unit will be controlled with a WARDJet X-Classic controller.

Retrofit of Cross Beam 18 Feet

WARDJet — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 22:26:26 +0000

So this looks like a cross beam mounted onto an old plasma gantry. And it is. But what makes this interesting, is we were sent the old plasma cross beam with supports welded onto the frame. We then used the FARO laser tracker to map the actual positions of the supports and holes in 3D space. This was then put into SOLIDWORKS and the standard WARDJet cross beam was modified so the new cross beam matched the support sent to us.

The beam was fabricated, heat stress relieved, machined, fitted as you see on the photos, and will now go to powder coating, back to have the linear rails fitted and final fabrication. When we placed it into position today, it fitted perfectly.

Milling an 18′ 4″ Cross Beam

WARDJet — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:42:25 +0000

Yes we build machines a lot larger than the standard units seen on the web. Here is a cross beam that will be 18 feet 4 inches long with 6 cutting heads that can all be positioned independently. This will be particularly important with automatic nesting of the 6 heads.
