CNC Waterjets

Waterjet controls that keep the machine cutting

Q: What CAD/CAM software is compatible?

MachMotion can help you build a practical programming workflow around the CAD/CAM, nesting, and file formats your shop already uses. Software, licensing, and connection method are reviewed during the project so your team can program parts in the office and run them reliably at the machine.

Q: Will the retrofit work with my existing intensifier or direct-drive pump?

In almost every case, yes. The retrofit sequences the pump the way the original control did through I/O we wire into your existing pump controller. We validate the sequence before commissioning ends.

Modernize an aging waterjet with reliable motion and CAM integration that behaves the same on every job.

Waterjet controls that keep the machine cutting

Signs a Retrofit May Be Needed

Challenges from shops running CNC Waterjets

Cut quality varies unpredictably between jobs
Original control buttons are broken or not working
Emergency stops are often required
Failing controller cards or drive and motor issues

Benefits

Results after the Retrofit

Smooth motion tuned for typical waterjet feedrates
Supportable control with easy-to-use interface
Machine is returned to dependable operation
A clearer path for continued uptime and production

What's Included

A production-ready package

No missing pieces, no surprises during install. Every CNC Waterjet retrofit ships as a complete system.

MachMotion waterjet control and software

Servo package matched to gantry mass

Pump, abrasive, and dump valve I/O integration

Updated electrical enclosure or panel with schematics

Commissioning and lifetime remote support

Good Fit

A retrofit likely makes sense if:

Flat-table waterjets with sound gantry mechanics
Shops running abrasive cutting on mixed materials and thicknesses

Not a Fit

Replacement may make more sense if:

Machines that are not well maintained or mechanically sound

FAQ

About CNC Waterjets

What will the retrofit cost, and how long will it take to complete?

The cost and timeline for a waterjet retrofit depend on your machine’s condition, control requirements, available components, and any custom features or electrical work needed. MachMotion begins with a machine review to define the scope, identify any mechanical concerns, and provide a clear proposal and installation plan that helps you schedule the upgrade around production needs.
