5 Axis Waterjet Cutting Machine

Engineered for Precision, Productivity and Long-Term Reliability

The HORD 5 Axis Waterjet Cutting Machine is built around a high-rigidity mechanical platform, intelligent CNC motion control and ultra-high-pressure abrasive waterjet technology. Every major component is engineered to improve cutting accuracy, production efficiency and long-term operational stability across demanding industrial environments.

Unlike conventional flat-cutting systems, this machine combines multi-axis interpolation, intelligent height control and precision abrasive cutting into one integrated manufacturing platform.

Intelligent AC 5-Axis Cutting Head

The AC five-axis cutting head is the core of the entire system.

By synchronizing A-axis tilting with continuous C-axis rotation, the cutting head automatically follows programmed cutting angles while maintaining optimal jet orientation throughout the entire machining process.

This enables accurate production of:

• Variable bevel edges
• Compound angles
• Chamfers
• Weld preparation profiles
• Curved contours
• Complex three-dimensional geometries

Compared with traditional mechanical machining, the five-axis head significantly reduces setup time while improving dimensional consistency.

Automatic Taper Compensation Technology

During conventional waterjet cutting, the water stream naturally creates slight taper on thicker materials.

The HORD intelligent taper compensation system automatically adjusts the cutting angle to compensate for jet divergence during machining.

Benefits include:

• Straighter cutting edges
• Higher dimensional accuracy
• Improved assembly fit
• Better welding preparation
• Reduced secondary machining

This function is particularly valuable when processing thick metals, natural stone and engineered materials.

Ultra-High Pressure Abrasive Cutting System

The cutting system utilizes an ultra-high-pressure water stream combined with precision-controlled garnet abrasive to remove material through controlled erosion rather than heat.

Advantages include:

• Cold cutting process
• No heat-affected zone
• Minimal mechanical stress
• Excellent edge quality
• Consistent cutting performance
• Suitable for virtually all hard materials

The system works seamlessly with High Pressure Waterjet Cutter technology for demanding industrial applications.

Heavy-Duty CNC Motion Platform

Machine stability directly affects cutting accuracy.

The HORD structural platform is designed using a rigid gantry construction with precision linear guideways and high-performance servo drives to maintain exceptional positioning accuracy throughout long production cycles.

Key structural advantages include:

• Heavy-duty welded frame
• Precision ball screw and rack transmission
• High-speed servo motors
• Industrial linear guide rails
• Stable long-travel positioning
• Excellent vibration resistance

For manufacturers requiring larger work envelopes, the same structural technology is available in the Gantry Waterjet Cutting Machine configuration.

Intelligent CNC Control System

The machine is equipped with an industrial CNC control platform designed specifically for waterjet machining.

The software supports automatic generation of cutting paths while optimizing machine movement for maximum productivity.

Supported functions include:

• DXF/DWG import
• Automatic nesting
• CAD/CAM compatibility
• Toolpath optimization
• Automatic lead-in/out generation
• Kerf compensation
• Multi-language interface
• Remote diagnostics (optional)

The intuitive interface minimizes programming time while simplifying operator training.

Automatic Abrasive Delivery System

Consistent abrasive flow is critical for maintaining cutting quality.

The integrated abrasive feeding system automatically controls garnet delivery according to machining parameters, ensuring stable cutting performance throughout long production runs.

Advantages include:

• Continuous abrasive supply
• Reduced operator intervention
• Stable cutting quality
• Lower abrasive waste
• Higher production efficiency

Multi-Material Processing Flexibility

One of the greatest strengths of a five-axis waterjet system is its ability to process an exceptionally wide range of materials without changing cutting tools.

Typical materials include:

This flexibility allows manufacturers to consolidate multiple fabrication processes into one CNC system while serving a broader range of industries.

Product Structure & Machine Configuration

Industrial Components Designed for Maximum Performance

Every major subsystem of the HORD 5 Axis Waterjet Cutting Machine is engineered for accuracy, durability and ease of maintenance.

Optional Machine Configurations

Customize the System for Your Production Requirements

Different industries require different production capabilities. HORD offers a range of optional configurations to optimize productivity, automation and operating efficiency.

These configurations allow manufacturers to tailor the machine for applications ranging from precision Stone Waterjet Cutter production to high-volume Metal Waterjet Cutter, Glass Waterjet Cutter, and Composite Materials Waterjet Cutter manufacturing.

Why Machine Configuration Matters

Selecting the right configuration is just as important as choosing the right machine.

Factors such as material type, production volume, part complexity, and future expansion plans all influence the ideal system specification.

For example:

• Fabricators producing large-format stone slabs may benefit from a Gantry Waterjet Cutting Machine configuration.
• Workshops focused on flat-sheet processing may find a 3 Axis Waterjet Cutting Machine more cost-effective.
• Heavy industrial manufacturers often combine this system with a High Pressure Waterjet Cutter for maximum cutting capacity.

By choosing the appropriate configuration, manufacturers can maximize productivity, reduce operating costs, and ensure long-term return on investment.
