torch height control

**SAS Company** · 08-26-2011, 09:41 AM

I was mistaken, it's 5 on 4" centers like an axle hub. The tip on 40 amp is 1 flat dime off the material running 75 psi(ish). Haven't really had a problem with ride overs. Once in a while you can see some jaggedness transfer from running over cuts and blow back etc. Keith, the air cylinder only lifts the torch and there is float at the bottom of the stroke so the weight of the torch is what holds it down.

So with a proper Z axis it would be possible to raise the torch and shoe with the axis movement. Then by lowering the Z farther than the distance from tip to metal would allow the shoe to slide up and down as needed provided there is a separate slide motion on the Z. Make sense?

I forget sometimes how nice I have it with my Precision Plasma table, since it was designed around having THC, without having to spend a ton of money. I really love having THC and can't imagine running without it.
