This state-of-the-art machine has four heads, speeds faster than standard tables and an enormous bed capable of processing plates up to 40 lineal feet in length. This machine is ideal for many of our nuclear customers, as it reduces the need for multi-piece construction and the use of welding to conjoin materials.

The bed has a 40 x 16-foot cutting area and four cutting heads powered by a 150 HP intensifier pump. We can load the machine with four 8 x 20-foot sheets and cut with one to four heads, depending on what is most effective for the part size. Twelve inches of Z-axis travel allows for cuts of very thick plates, as well as cuts of formed parts. The WARDJet waterjet also features an abrasive removal system that reduces build-up.

It is simple to load and unload the R-Series since the entire carriage moves out of the way, leaving the stand-alone tank fully accessible from three sides. In other words, it is just as easy to load from the front or back of the tank.

WARDJet machines are known for their flexibility. Should LSS need to offer five-axis cuts down the road, for example, we can simply replace one of our machine’s current heads. And since WARDJet makes its own circuit boards, we can replace an older board with a new one. As a result, our machine will always be up-to-date.
