Title
Control the height of your plasma CNC cutter with a Torch Height Controller (THC) that provides the most optimized arc for cutting. This is the PlasmaSense Sensor that connects directly to Mach3 or Mach4 This is a device that manages the optimum arc while the CNC passes the plasma along the cutting surface of the material. Since material like steel may contain warping and other inconsistencies, the plasma gun needs to be at the right height from the material to have the optimum cutting effect. This THC solves a lot of problems that may be present in the use of plasma cutting,such as electrical noise. The THC here uses an optical cable that has no electrical characteristics so that the communication from the controller to the THC is clean. It is recommended that this THC be paired with the Pokeys57CNC controller. https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-electronic-component-breakout-Mach4-mach3-USB-ethernet-Board Included with this package: The PlasmaSense which is directly connected to the plasma machine and communicates back to the Mach3 or Mach4. Two optical cables, one at 2 meters in length and the other at 5 meters in length.
The components are daisy-chained as follows: Plasma Cutter --> PlasmaSens THC --> Fiber Optic Cable --> PlasmaSensInterface --> Ribbon Cable --> PoKeys57CNC controller. My highly rated Amazon pick for a Plasma Torch: PRIMEWELD CUT60 60Amp Non-Touch Pilot Arc PT60 Torch Plasma Cutter 110V/220V Dual Voltage 3 Year Warranty.
