Cobra 4x8 with ATC Standard Equipment

[fcfoley]

For those who own a Cobra, perhaps you can answer this.

I am looking at upgrading from my Stinger 2 to a Cobra 4x8 ATC. When I got my Stinger, I added numerous upgrades to include touch top and Laser crosshair, plus many other options. While looking at the Cobra standard configuration I didn't see anything concerning touch top and Laser crosshair. Are these standard with a Cobra or are they upgrades? I would have thought that the top of the line machine would come standard with these items.

Thanks

am planning to buy panther and kind of glad not had to buy options not need or want. but did manage to plan on spending 13grand in add ons that i chose.

I doubt it comes with either but sales would be the best people to ask. I have laser crosshairs that I use pretty frequently (just remember it isn't exact) but I don't have a touch top. I've never found the need for a touch top with an ATC. With an ATC there will be a tool measuring switch that will help you store the tool offsets. I typically use a Z zero tool to get really accurate z heights if needed. Otherwise I just use a piece of paper to set my z height.

as Logan mentioned the laser for XY zero crosshairs is available.

the larger spindles used on most ATC's, i know my 5hp HSD is one, which has ceramic bearings. they are not electrically conductive, meaning that they cannot complete a circuit with the aluminum touch pad used for Z zeroing.
touching the table top (with or without paper) becomes easy and accurate after doing it hundreds of times.
