Introduction

The Hypertherm ArcGlide THC is a voltage sensing, torch height control (THC) system that is designed for plasma

cutting applications on an X-Y cutting table. The system uses the plasma arc voltage to control the physical distance

between the torch and the workpiece during cutting. Up to 4 ArcGlide systems can be installed on a cutting table. The

system includes the following components, as shown in the illustration on the facing page:

Control module

The control module houses a microcontroller, I/O interface, and a motor drive. This unit provides arc voltage control,

and interfaces with the torch lifter, the CNC machine, and the plasma system through standard discrete I/O interfaces

through the Hypernet

interface.

Lifter assembly

The torch lifter station, under control of the control module, positions a torch head vertically above the workpiece.

The lifter has the following features:

• Ability to detect the workpiece using Ohmic contact sense circuitry or stall force

• Magnetic torch breakaway with circuitry to indicate a collision

• Lifter station enable and disable switch with an indicator light

• Manual up and down switch

• Laser pointer for work piece alignment

• Single interface cable

Human machine interface (HMI)

The HMI includes a liquid crystal display (LCD), operating switches, and a rotary/push knob selector for THC setup and

control. This module is optional when used with Hypertherm CNCs that can run Phoenix version 9.5 software (or later).

The main functions are:

• THC system and operational setup

• Entry for operating parameters

• Manual and automatic operation

• Initial height sense (IHS) test

• THC status and arc voltage display

• THC error display

• Multiple language support

• English or metric unit support

• Station enable and disable
