What is Dthc plasma?

What is Dthc plasma?

MP_DTHC. MASSO Plasma DTHC Module. The MASSO DTHC (Digital Torch Height Control) module is designed to provide digital arc voltage information from a plasma source. The module is designed to connect the MASSO G3 controller and the plasma source with an arc voltage divider output option.

How does torch height control work?

Arc voltage height control is an automatic system that maintains cutting height by maintaining a constant voltage through the arc. It works by measuring the voltage between the electrode in the torch and the plate that is being cut.

How do you adjust the height on a plasma torch?

What is initial pierce height?

Ideally, the pierce height should be 1/8” off of the material surface you are cutting, to allow the plasma to penetrate, but more importantly when using Arc Voltage Height Control systems, to help maintain the height of the torch tip while the voltage is being read, and maintained.

Do you need torch height control?

What is the arc voltage on a plasma cutter?

The operator sets the arc voltage on the remote control according to the cut charts in the plasma system’s operations manual. This voltage setting is usually between 100 and 200 VDC.

What is arc stretch?

Arc stretching happens when the plasma arc is stretched either behind the torch, or to either side rather than being directly below it. This can happen after a pierce start when the arc is cutting too slowly and does not match the torch movement.

How much does SheetCAM cost?

SheetCAM is paid software that costs $140. This is a one-time transaction for a license file that does not expire. This is not a subscription that would require any kind of renewal.

How is an arc created in a plasma system?

Pilot Arc Initiation The spark ionizes the plasma gas, allowing it to become electrically conductive and producing a low-resistance current path between the electrode and nozzle. Along this current path, an initial, low-energy arc—i.e., the pilot arc—forms as energy flows and discharges between the two components.
