Video: 5-Axis Bevel Cutting with Height Sensor: Comparison
Cutting a beveled part on an uneven surface with a 5-axis waterjet can be tricky. That's why it is essential to use a height sensor. This video illustrates the difference in cut quality and accuracy a height sensor can achieve. With the height sensor off, the machine continues traveling along a set Z height, resulting in a change and eventual loss of the bevel. With the height sensor turned on, the cutting head is kept at a consistent height along the material to retain cut quality even if the height of the material changes drastically. Moreover if the height sensor were off and moving towards an incline it would result in a crash.
