Tipwire / Sensor Cable

Sensor Cable Function and Compatibility

Tipwire sensor cables transmit real-time capacitive height sensing signals during laser cutting operations. These cables connect the cutting head's proximity sensor to the machine controller, enabling automatic distance adjustments that prevent collisions. API's tipwire sensor cables feature high-frequency shielding to protect signal integrity from electromagnetic interference.

Our sensor cables have a durable construction and precision connectors compatible with Raytools, Precitec, WSX and Mazak cutting heads. These cables support 2D and 3D laser cutting applications across sheet metal fabrication and industrial manufacturing.
