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 jet machining 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
Video of the Motorized Z-axis in Action
The following video shows the Motorized Z-axis making a three-dimensional path by following the contour of some pre-bent sheet metal.
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.
