WARDJet Hosts 2nd Annual Open House



WARDJet hosted its 2nd Annual Open House on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014 at its facility in Tallmadge, OH. With more than 80 attendees at the event, WARDJet team members had many opportunities to speak one-on-one with visitors, give tours of the facility and perform waterjet cutting demonstrations.

According to the company, the most talked about Open House feature was the WARDKit line of waterjets which was debuted during the event. Offered in 2' x 2', 5' x 5', and 5' x 10' sizes, the WARDKit is designed to provide a high-quality waterjet solution for customers in kit form.

"Open House guests were able to see the WARDKit components firsthand, including the tank, ball screws, laptop controller and Z-Carriage," said a company spokesperson. "An added bonus was the set of augmented reality glasses that instructed wearers how to assemble the Z-Carriage components step-by-step using both projected text and images. Visitors at the WARDKit booth were impressed with how WARDJet incorporated cutting edge technology into their product, and many of them tried on the glasses to experience assembly firsthand." According to the company, the first handful of WARDKit orders were placed during Open House hours.

In addition, the lunch break provided by vendor Yaskawa Motoman offered Open House guests a networking opportunity with vendors and other businesses in attendance. Representatives from WARDJet-choice vendors such as Hypertherm were also available to discuss their products.

Demonstrations were performed throughout the day on the Multipurpose Abrasive Waterjet Robot and the Z-2543-5, where a variety of materials were cut with water only to demonstrate 5-axis capability. Tours of the production floor reflected lean manufacturing changes implemented by WARDJet's COO who joined the team after the 2013 Open House last fall. "By walking through welding, fabrication, assembly and shipping areas, guests were able to see how WARDJet manufactures all products in America from start to finish," said the spokesperson.
