non-contactopticalmetal

Hypertherm’s Sensor™ plasma torch height control (PHC) is an easy-to-use, highly reliable voltage-sensing height control for conventional plasma piercing and cutting applications. Requiring no operator input while cutting, the controller offers separate settings for both pierce and cut heights to automatically position the torch. The Sensor PHC is compatible with any computer numeric control (CNC) and a broad range of plasma systems, and is easy to install on new or existing conventional plasma cutting tables. The Sensor PHC delivers improved performance at a significantly lower cost than other height control solutions. Better consumable life • Individual pierce height and cut height settings let you optimize for the specific operation at hand • Ability to set a higher pierce height protects consumables by moving the torch away from the spatter Improved cut quality • Built-in magnetic breakaway ensures consistent torch positioning during cutting and accurate recovery after collision or consumable change • Reduced operator intervention minimizes the possibility of human error • Simple operational controls and fault indicators make training, operation, and diagnostics quick and easy
