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.

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.
Available on these machines:
OMAX 2626, OMAX 2652, OMAX 5555, OMAX 55100, OMAX 60120, OMAX 80X, OMAX 120X, OMAX 160X, OMAX MicroMAX, OptiMAX 60X, OptiMAX 80X

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
