ArcGlide THC Instruction Manual
Description
To set this parameter, the Height Control must be in Automatic Mode. When Nozzle Contact
IHS is ON, the THC uses electrical Ohmic contact to sense the workpiece. This setting is
normally disabled on water tables or painted workpiece because of the unreliability of the
electrical contact.
OFF / ON
To set this parameter, the Height Control must be in Automatic Mode. When Auto Kerf
Detect is active, the THC looks for a rapid rise in the measured arc voltage that indicates that
the torch is cutting across a previously cut kerf. This parameter temporarily disables the AVC
and prevents the torch from diving into the workpiece.
OFF / ON
This parameter sets the sensitivity of the Auto Kerf Detection level on a relative scale. A value
of 1 is the most sensitive and will activate at lower voltage increases; 10 is the least sensitive
and will activate at higher voltage increases.
