2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS  

2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The cut quality for thermal cutting processes is affected by the 
amount of clearance between the torch tip and cutting material. 
Automatic control of the clearance span lets you make a smooth, 
quality cut at higher speeds with the least amount of dross. 
HF100 lets you achieve and maintain the optimum amount of cut 
clearance and can provide the following economical advantages: 

  Less preparation time because the HF100 controller quickly 

establishes the correct amount of clearance. 

  Increased productivity as a result of higher cutting speeds. 

  Optimum cut quality, reducing or eliminating the need for 

secondary processing. 

  Identical cut quality on all machines. 

  Fully automatic CNC machines.

 

The HF100 controller also provides the following advantages: 

  Clearance is measured using a capacitive system allowing 

reproducible setting and maintenance of the once adjusted 
clearance. 

  The lifter motor is controlled by a transistorized H-bridge Pulse 

Width Modulated (PWM) amplifier using armature voltage feedback 
and adjustable current limitation.   

  For automation purposes, the integrated control logic offers an 

In-position signal that can also be used to detect cut-outs or collision 
with tip-ups. 

  Automatic retract of the torch if the high-frequency cable is broken 

or damaged. You can override this feature when in Manual mode and 
continue cutting until the problem can be corrected. 

  Automatic retract in Manual mode if a collision occurs with work 

piece or tip-up. The retract action stops when collision is cleared. 

  Visual fault codes to aid in quick troubleshooting. 

  The functions are implemented in a single control box that also 

contains the adjustment knobs for clearance and sensitivity. 

  Upgrade compatible to HFA2 controller
