Discover the future of CNC manufacturing at the AXYZ WARDJet UK open house

AXYZ WARDJet, a global specialist in CNC router and waterjet cutting systems, will stage an open house and CNC manufacturing expo at its Telford headquarters on 16-17 July. Following a successful run in Ontario, Canada, the event brings the latest in smart manufacturing technology to the UK – offering live machine demonstrations, hands-on experiences and direct access to CNC experts.

With over 30 years of experience, AXYZ and its sister brand WARDJet say they are known for building versatile, high-performance systems that power manufacturers across a broad range of industries – from signage and woodworking to aerospace, automotive, plastics and stone processing. The UK open house offers a rare opportunity for professionals to see this technology in action and explore real-world applications tailored to their specific production needs.

The event will feature:

Live CNC router and waterjet demonstrations: visitors can witness machines cutting a wide range of materials, including aluminium, acrylic, foam, wood, stone and composite

High-speed (40,000 rpm) spindles for twice the output and ultra-clean edges

A new wire-free automatic loading system: said to be a game-changer in CNC automation – streamlining loading without messy cables

An on-machine sheet loader: reducing footprint and increasing efficiency in material handling

A 10-position automatic tool changer for fast and seamless tool transitions

Expert consultations: application engineers will be available to answer questions and run live demosnstrations based on visitors’ parts or files.

Schedule overview:

10:00 – 11:30. Live routing and waterjet cutting. Visitors can experience high-speed spindles and WARDJet waterjets in the real-time cutting of materials.

11:30 – 13:00. Automation in motion. Event visitors can discover how the wire-free loader and on-machine sheet handler can streamline workflows.

13:00 – 15:00. Personalised demonstrations and application talks. Those visiting the event are encouraged to bring parts, files or production challenges. Experts will provide live, tailored demonstrations and talk through real-world solutions.

New for 2025 is smart safety technology, with the debut of machine safety innovations that include: laser Scanners (creating adjustable safety zones for safer machine interaction); and AI-driven cameras (providing intelligent threat detection and real-time operator monitoring).

The event is free to attend but registration is encouraged to ensure time with engineers and personalised demonstrations.
