A prototype linkage arm for the Tilt-A-Jet®
OMAX® Motorized Z-Axis

Motorized Z-Axis spec sheet (PDF) [40 Kb]



The electrically operated OMAX Motorized Z-axis provides precise nozzle positioning. The powerful combination of the Motorized Z-Axis and the Precision Optical Locator provides precision JetMachining of pre-machined parts, such as die-stripper plates.


Standard Features
  • 8 3/4” Travel in Z direction
  • Controller pre-programmable, automatic stand-off distance to insure proper nozzle height off of work piece
  • Jog up/down at user settable speeds and distance
  • Manual controls to move specific amounts
  • Heads-up traversing to avoid obstacles
  • “Move all up” command to quickly move nozzle out of the way after a tool path has completed
  • Can be pre-programmed using OMAX 3-D Path Editor Software to follow vertical contours of parts and avoid obstacles. Maximum programmable slope is 60 degrees when contour following.
  • Can be programmed by most other CAD/CAM software through custom post processor

56K Version
Recommended for dial-up connections.




DSL/Cable Version
Recommended for broadband connections, such as DSL, cable modems or ISDN lines.




Programmable with the 3D Path Editor

The Motorized Z-Axis is programmable using the OMAX 3D Path Editor to modify tool paths to add up/down motion (motion in the X-axis). This lets you create tool paths for materials with non-flat surfaces, or surface features that the nozzle needs to avoid.
