ESAB Hydrocut HDX Waterjet Cutting System

ABOUT ESAB HYDROCUT CUTTING MACHINES

The Hydrocut HDX Waterjet Cutting System is a heavy-duty gantry cutting machine. Floor mounted crane rails and a rigid gantry are combined with digital AC drive amplifiers, brushless AC motors, and precision gearboxes. The result is a high-performance multi-process capable machine. The Hydrocut HDX easily combines waterjet with other cutting and marking processes, such as plasma cutting, plasma marking, oxy-fuel cutting, or plate lettering or marking tools.

KEY FEATURES:

Ultra-High Pressure Waterjet Precision
Cuts virtually any material with exceptional accuracy 

Dual-Process Advantage (Waterjet + Plasma)
Combines waterjet precision with plasma cutting speed on the same part

Reduced Cost per Part
Optimizes process selection to significantly lower production costs

Maximum Process Versatility
Supports a wide range of cutting and marking processes for diverse fabrication needs 

Built for Large-Scale Production
Ideal for large work areas and high-capacity applications 

High Productivity Performance
Enables faster throughput by using the most efficient cutting process for each feature 

Flexible Multi-Tool Configuration
Accommodates multiple cutting heads and process combinations on a single gantry
