PanelOne® with Edgecut 3 – A Modern Interface for More Efficient Cutting

Water Jet Sweden has officially launched the next generation of PanelOne®, now equipped with the new Edgecut 3 interface. The system made its first public appearance at Blechexpo 2025 in Stuttgart this October, where it drew strong interest from visitors looking for smarter, more efficient control solutions for advanced water jet cutting.

PanelOne® has long been recognised for its ease of use, thanks to its intuitive touchscreen and joystick design. From the beginning, the focus was on providing a control system that operators could learn quickly while still managing highly complex cutting jobs.

With Edgecut 3, that familiar user experience has been retained, while introducing a wide range of improvements that enhance speed, clarity, and operator flexibility.

The new interface is developed on Microsoft .NET, making PanelOne® more robust and easier to expand with new functions over time. In total, Edgecut 3 brings over 30 new features and enhancements, and several plug-ins that were previously optional now come as standard.

Key New Features in Edgecut 3

•    DNC mode for handling large programs and enabling faster start-up
•    Extended preview functions, including rapid movements, cutting times, tool displays, and part dimensions
•    3D graphics showing tool paths for all individual X/Z cutting heads, including visualisation of 3D programs
•    Visual block search, allowing operators to click directly on the display to navigate within the program
•    A completely redesigned maintenance page covering updates, diagnostics, parameters, macros, notes, and history
•    Customisable colour themes for improved visibility under different lighting conditions
•    Automatic email notifications for error alerts, replacing the previous SMS service

These updates not only streamline operation but also support improved performance when working with IGEMS’ new postprocessor, REV_2.

All new Water Jet Sweden cutting machines are now delivered with Edgecut 3 installed as standard.

For existing machines:

•    If your system already uses PanelOne® and operates on Windows 10 or newer, a software upgrade is sufficient.
•    Older machines may require a combined software and hardware update to support the new interface.
