PlasmaSens is torch height sensor for Torch Height Control.
Description
PlasmaSens is a torch height sensor for Torch Height Control using with plasma cutter equipment. In a combination with a PoKeys57CNC CNC controller, PlasmaSens is reliable Torch Height Control (THC). PlasmaSens provides an accurate arc voltage measurement based on modern microprocessor’s technology. Efficient and precise cutting of material depends on torch distance from a workpiece and appropriate plasma arc. The arc voltage is proportional to the distance between the torch and the workpiece and Torch Height Control make it as equal as possible across the entire cutting surface. Therefore plasma’s voltage data is important for a Z-axis position update.
With a mains AC power supply built-in and a total optical output isolation, PlasmaSens – Torch Height Control is very simple for physical installation and safe to use. The device offers two arc voltage level inputs. High voltage input up to 350 VDC or low voltage input (without 1:50 internal divider) up to 10 VDC.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
- I am getting an E-1 Error on a Plasmasensout THC sensor
This is error is due to noise entering the logic of the system. The way of fixing it making sure things are properly grounded and making sure the negatives of the logic in the breakout board are not common with the main grounds or the negative or the ...
