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.

Sensor PHC
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.
