Item Details

  • The Hypertherm Command THC is a microprocessor-based torch height control system designed for X-Y cutting systems. It functions to set the initial piercing height and maintain the torch-to-work distance during plasma cutting operations to ensure cut quality and productivity.

Features

  • Upper and lower inductive proximity limit switches
  • Ohmic contact sensing for initial height sensing (IHS)
  • Motor torque work contact sensing (back-up for non-conductive surfaces)
  • Work-clear feature for thin or flexible sheet metal
  • Rapid pull-back collision avoidance feature
  • CNC-controlled arc voltage disable for cornering
  • Over-voltage protection to prevent torch diving during kerf crossings
  • Built-in advance preflow for reduced cycle time
  • Optional breakaway for collision damage reduction
  • Power-up diagnostics
  • Teflon-coated fiberglass sealing band for internal component protection
  • Mechanized shield for moving parts
  • Dry lubrication system (no oil required)
  • RS422 serial interface for remote CNC control
  • Optional operator control pendant with backlit LCD
  • Electrically floating interface
  • Machine safety interlock
