PlasmaCAM's™ popular CNC machine comes standard
with state-of-the-art Torch Height Control or Digital Height
Control™ and sports many other dramatic
improvements over the original model.

Why Digital Height Control™ is Essential

DHC²™ achieves high quality plasma cuts by controlling the height of the torch with arc voltage feedback. The cutting tip hovers a precise distance above the metal, moving up and down to follow variations in the sheet.
Because DHC²™ maintains a gap between the cutting tip and the material, tip hangup is avoided. In addition, DHC²™ raises and lowers the torch between cuts to avoid obstacles.
At the start of each cut, DHC²™ waits until plasma cutting is detected before beginning motion (instead of just waiting for a set time delay). DHC²™ also stops motion if plasma cutting unexpectedly terminates. This means more consistent, automated cutting.
DHC²'s™ careful control of the torch height greatly extends cutting tip life.
All DHC²™ functions are integrated and controlled by the PlasmaCAM™ software – providing automated operation that is easy to adjust.
