Collision Sensing Terrain Follower

Collision Sensing Terrain Follower

The Collision Sensing Terrain Follower is an essential tool for working with uneven surfaces. The innovative design allows you to set the machine standoff once at the start and then the Collision Sensing Terrain Follower constantly and continuously compensates for material height changes to maintain precise standoff. In addition to maintaining precise standoff.

Available on these machines:
GlobalMAX 1508, GlobalMAX 1530, GlobalMAX 2040, MAXIEM 1515, MAXIEM 1530, MAXIEM 2030, MAXIEM 2040, MAXIEM 2060, MAXIEM 2080, MAXIEM 3060, OMAX 2626, OMAX 2652, OMAX 5555, OMAX 55100, OMAX 60120, OMAX 80X, OMAX 120X, OMAX 160X, OptiMAX 60X, OptiMAX 80X

Features

  • Includes a polarized lens to adjust the diameter of the laser dot to focus on any size material feature
  • With its simple design, the accessory operates on three A76 batteries, eliminating wiring or cabling
  • Easy to use
  • Assists in finding tiny details on your material stock
  • Promotes the ability to get the best yield out of materials

Precision Optical Locator

The Precision Optical Locator (POL) facilitates precision JetMachining of pre-machined components. The POL uses modern compact video technology to precisely locate any points, edges, or holes on a pre-machined piece of material that is placed on the OMAX cutting table. The software package then reorients the cutting program to precisely align with the located features.

Precision Optical Locator

Features

  • Video monitoring and software functions measure the location of material features to prepare for secondary machining, such as drilling in the center of a disk
  • Video image of featured location can be saved for quality control records
  • Light ring illuminates viewing area
  • Includes two camera tripods, a 250-inch ethernet cable, and a sturdy accessory carrying case
  • Camera resolution up to 2592 x 1944 pixels
Terrain follower for OMAX waterjets with A-jet

Terrain Follower

The Terrain Follower attaches directly to the A-Jet and VersaJet. Changes in a material's height are detected and the nozzle automatically makes the required height adjustments, maintaining the necessary nozzle standoff to avoid collision with warped surfaces and protecting the nozzle and related hardware from damage.

Available on these machines:
MAXIEM 1515, MAXIEM 1530, MAXIEM 2030, MAXIEM 2040, MAXIEM 2060, MAXIEM 2080, MAXIEM 3060, OMAX 2652, OMAX 5555, OMAX 55100, OMAX 60120, OMAX 80X, OMAX 120X, OMAX 160X, OptiMAX 60X, OptiMAX 80X

Features

  • High resolution magnetic encoder senses change in material height
  • All electrical cabling is shielded from the abrasive waterjet environment
  • No special programming required
  • Designed specifically to operate in an abrasive waterjet environment
  • Completely retrofittable to all existing A-Jet accessories

Vacuum Assist

The OMAX Vacuum Assist is ideal for piercing brittle materials. The OMAX Vacuum Assist eliminates delay between water and garnet feed, allowing for consistent automatic piercing of composites, laminates, and other materials.

Vacuum Assist for OMAX waterjets

Features

  • Available in a wide range of nozzle orifice sizes, from 0.007” to 0.016”, with mixing tubes from 0.015” to 0.048”
  • Low-pressure stationary piercing can help improve the circularity and edge quality of small holes
  • Precise on/off cycles to prevent excess garnet usage
  • Automatic dynamic pressure adjustments
  • Visible pressure gauge to verify correct pressure settings
Air Sweep

Automated Air Sweep:

The Automated Air Sweep feature on the bridge mini hopper will improve ease of maintenance and increase uptime. In the event of a nozzle clog, the automated Air Sweep is designed with a fluid diverter to direct water away from the abrasive hopper. If a clog occurs, OMAX IntelliMAX software includes a feature that purges the nozzle and abrasive feed line with air and water to clear the clog. This process eliminates the need to disassemble the nozzle and mini hopper, reducing downtime.

Available on these machines:
OptiMAX 60X, OptiMAX 80X

Features

  • Automated process to increase uptime and avoid operator intervention
  • Designed with two methods to protect and clear any potential nozzle clogs
  • Fully controlled within the software

Accessory availability varies by model. Accessory may reduce travel.
