Torch Height Control
One of the key elements in any thermal cutting application is the distance from the cutting torch to the work piece. This stand-off distance is critical to cut quality. Proper cut height improves cut angularity and cut speed while reducing dross. There are various options to suit your specific requirements.
Arc Glide Torch height control (THC)
The ArcGlide THC – True Hole capable – is a new precision plasma torch height control that delivers superior cutting performance at a reduced cost of operation.
Overview:
Traditional torch height controls require operators to periodically adjust arc voltage to ensure proper cut height. Using Hypertherm’s proprietary techniques, the ArcGlide THC continuously samples arc voltage and automatically adjusts arc voltage for proper torch height over the life of the consumables without requiring operator input.
The ArcGlide THC offers optimal cut quality, improved productivity and reduced operating costs for plasma cutting applications including True Hole Technology. Offered in both CNC integrated (with Hypernet communication) and standalone configurations, this THC delivers its benefits with minimal operator intervention required.
Designed for conventional plasma systems 100 amp and less and cutting with air, the Sensor PHC provides excellent performance, built in diagnostics, and easy operation all at a fantastic price!
Overview:
The Sensor PHC is an easy-to-use and reliable voltage-sensing height control for conventional plasma applications. The benefits realized are substantial in terms of:
• Consumable life improvement
• Improved cut quality
• Reduced operator intervention
The Sensor PHC offers easy installation on new or existing conventional plasma cutting tables with any CNC and a broad range of plasma systems. Available in several application-specific configurations, the Sensor PHC delivers improved performance at a reduced cost compared to other height control solutions.
