Fedjet Launches Heavy‑Duty Open‑Gantry Waterjet for High‑Precision Large‑Format Stone Slab Fabrication

Fedjet Unveils Heavy‑Duty Gantry Waterjet Cutting Machine Optimized for Large‑Format Stone Slab Production

[Nanjing, China] – Fedjet Waterjet has released its PowerJetG heavy‑duty gantry‑style CNC waterjet cutting machine, engineered specifically for professional‑grade processing of marble, granite, quartz and ceramic slabs for architectural and decorative‑stone markets。

Traditional stone‑cutting methods risk thermal stress, micro‑cracks and material waste when working with premium large stone panels. The new abrasive waterjet unit adopts cold‑cutting technology using garnet abrasive mixed with ultra‑high‑pressure water up to 4 137 bar (60 000 PSI), generating no heat‑affected zones and protecting precious stone materials from burning or cracking。

A standout feature is its open heavy‑duty gantry architecture. The open working perimeter enables operators to move and position oversized, heavy stone slabs with lifting equipment, greatly improving loading and unloading efficiency in busy stone‑fabrication workshops.

The machine delivers repeatability of ±0.03 mm and linear positioning accuracy of ±0.038 mm, supporting consistent fine‑detail output for decorative inlays, flooring patterns, countertop cut‑outs and custom stone components. Customers may select a standard 3‑axis cutting head for 2‑D profiling, or upgrade to a 5‑axis head to perform bevel cuts and complex multi‑angle geometries。

Working travels are fully configurable: X‑axis ranges 2.5 m‑5 m; Y‑axis spans from 1.5 m up to 20 m; Z‑axis covers 150 mm‑500 mm. Maximum rapid traverse speed reaches 30 000 mm/min to boost production throughput, while the PLC and i‑Telli smart control platform ensures stable continuous operation under heavy‑duty factory conditions。

“Many stone processors struggle with handling huge slabs while maintaining cutting precision,” commented a Fedjet product specialist. “This gantry waterjet balances robust mechanical rigidity, convenient material handling and flexible axis configurations. It gives fabricators one reliable platform for everything from simple slab profiling to intricate artistic stone‑inlay projects.”

Suitable for natural stone, engineered quartz and ceramic materials, the PowerJetG targets stone workshops, countertop manufacturers and architectural‑material producers globally.
