TF/A-JET
The Terrain Follower attaches directly to the
A-Jet. Changes in a material’s height are detected
and the nozzle automatically makes the required
height adjustments, maintaining the necessary nozzle
standoff to avoid contact with warped surfaces and
protecting the nozzle and related hardware from
damage. This allows you to start cutting warped
material without the need to find the high points,
saving you time and money.
