Torch Height Controls - Sensor PHC
Designed for conventional plasma systems 100 amp and less cutting in with air, the Sensor PHC provides excellent performance, built in diagnostics, and easy operation all at a fantastic price! |
Overview
The Sensor PHC offers easy installation on new or existing conventional plasma cutting tables with any CNC and a broad range of plasma systems. Available in several application-specific configurations, the Sensor PHC delivers improved performance at a reduced cost compared to other height control solutions.

Benefits
Better Consumable Life
- Spatter during piercing presents a threat to the nozzle and shield.
- Setting the height of the torch higher during piercing protects the consumables by moving them away from the spatter.
- The Sensor PHC offers programmable and different settings for both pierce and cut heights to automatically position the torch.
Improved Cut Quality Performance
- The Sensor PHC offers improved quality over the entire life of the consumables.
- The following cut-edge angle dimensions were measured at the beginning and end of a 450 pierce-and-cut test for both setups.
1st cut sample, maximum kerf angle | 451st cut sample, maximum kerf angle | |
---|---|---|
No PHC | 4° | 11° |
Sensor PHC | 3° | 4° |
Angles were measured on all four sides, all four samples. The lower the number, the better the cut quality. The angles will vary with thickness. |
Magnetic Breakaway
- Tethered magnetic breakaway for consistent positioning during cutting and retention after collision or consumable change.
- Powerful magnets and keyed mounting plate for fast and repeatable repositioning of the torch.
