Accessories include an electrically operated, motorized Z axis for precise nozzle positioning. This provides 0.222 m (8.7") of travel and heads-up traverse to avoid obstacles. A “move all up” command enables the motorized Z axis to quickly move the nozzle out of the way after completing a tool path. Operators can pre-program the axis to follow vertical contours of parts and obstacles with the company’s 3D Path Editor software. They can also opt to program the axis with most other CAD/CAM software through a custom post-processor, the company says.
