Water Jet Sweden launches new FiveX Ultra water jet cutting machine at EuroBLECH 2022
Water Jet Sweden has been working hard on product development during the pandemic with several products modernised to meet new market requirements and the creation of a completely new machine concept: the FiveX Ultra. This ground-breaking new cutting machine was officially launched at the EuroBLECH 2022 international trade fair in Hanover, marking a step into the future of advanced water jet cutting.
The new machine was kept a secret until 10 am on the first day of exhibition when the launch event was held, and the machine uncovered in front of a curious crowd of press, partners, customers and competitors.
Water Jet Sweden CEO, Lennart Svensson commented: “The new machine concept was very well received. We have had a lot of positive feedback and there has been a great interest throughout the whole fair.
However, EuroBLECH is just the beginning, the FiveX Ultra will now be introduced to the US market within a week at Fabtech 2022 in Atlanta Georgia, November 8-10. Svensson explained: “In the USA there is a growing interest in advanced processing with 5-axis waterjet cutting.”
Next generation of waterjet cutting
FiveX Ultra is a compact and lean version of the large-scale 3D cutting machine model, FiveX. It is designed to manage a wide range of cutting assignments from 2D up to full 3D, any material. FiveX Ultra has a new design platform to make it slim, light and extremely stable (as WJS known standard) with improved accessibility and visibility.
Svensson continued: “We have seen an increased demand for advanced cutting within the waterjet market. Now we have built a machine that will meet the future needs of most mechanical workshops around the world.”
FiveX Ultra expands the broad portfolio of quality cutting systems that Water Jet Sweden offer. From entry level 2D machines, micro processing, to big machines for large and odd sizes of material, and the unique 5-year performance warranty is included.
