See that ring down near the surface of material, help in such a long arm? That is used to probe material surface before piercing and during cutting and also to prevent colliding nozzle somewhere. IMHO fixed TCP is mandatory for anything like this. I do not see, how you could do something like that with this kind of 5 axis head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NceH2zGzLyc Yes, there is a ring for THC, but it does not provide correct height as the nozzle is tilted.
