Collision Sensing Terrain Follower

CSTF

The OMAX Collision Sensing Terrain Follower

allows a JetMachining

Center to automatically and

accurately cut parts from materials with irregular

or warped surfaces without the need for special

programming.

The Terrain Follower attaches directly to the

machine’s Z-axis. Changes in a material’s height

are detected and the Z-axis automatically makes

the required height adjustments, maintaining

the necessary cutting standoff (typically within

± 0.020”). A collision detector pauses jet motion

if obstructions are in the path of the nozzle.

Standard Features

• Linear encoder senses changes

in material height during cutting

operations

• A collision detector protects the nozzle

and related hardware from damage

• Built-in containment guard minimizes

nozzle splash and spray during

machining

• Easy ﬁeld retroﬁt to a Motorized Z-Axis

or Tilt-A-Jet

• Heavy duty liquid-tight electrical ﬁtting

with spring-type strain relief

• O-ring seal bulk-head air ﬁttings

with protective boots

Beneﬁts

• Automatically maintains the correct

nozzle standoff throughout the

cutting process

• Adjusts automatically to uneven

surfaces; reduces need for

additional programming

• Constantly senses necessary height

adjustments when activated, unlike

other contour following products on

the market

• Reduces potential equipment damage

from nozzle collisions

• Simple setup and operation

• No special programming required

• No requirement to map the elevation

of your material—simply move the

nozzle to where you want to begin

cutting and push start

• Electrical connections armored

for durability

• Robust sealing to withstand the

abrasive waterjet environment

• No matter where you are located

in the world, you’ll receive effective

technical support to ensure your CSTF

is operating at its highest levels. With

hundreds of active units in the ﬁeld,

our technicians are strategically

located to meet customer needs.

The OMAX Technology

Guarantee entitles you, as

the original owner, to free

OMAX software upgrades

for the life of the machine.
