Our 13' X 30' Four Headed - Ward Jet RX-3013

This month's featured machine of the month is Wolverine Machine's Wardjet RX-3013 water jet cutting table with four independent Z carriages. The four heads on our RX-3013 allow us to cut up to four 3' x 30' sheets simultaneously – allowing our customers to receive 4 times the product in the time it takes most companies to produce one. With a working envelope of 156"x 360"x10" the RX-3013 is one of the largest waterjet cutting tables in the Midwest and one of two waterjet cutting tables housed in our facility. This high precision unit has been designed to meet even the largest requirements while holding very tight tolerances. The RX-3013 offers exceptional accuracy of +/- .003", repeatability of +/- .001" and exhibits no "heat-affected zones".

The water jet cutting process utilizes a combination of water and abrasive forced through a cutting nozzle at up to 2200 mph and 60,000 psi. This powerful machine has the capability of cutting through any material, with the exception of tempered glass, diamonds and carbide, up to 12" thick.

Water jet cutting is an environmentally friendly way to create your parts but to make this machine even more "Green" we have installed a state-of-the-art water recycling system which filters and reuses all water that is used in the cutting process. Not only is this great for the environment, but also helps you by cutting the cost of production. Should you be interested in receiving a quote for this high-tech process, please contact us.
