The speed of lifting: 1000M/S ∽ 4000M/S (Contact the supplier if it exceeds the range of speed) 1.3、Application: HCA1002 supports mostly all plasma cutting machine on worldwide market like Hypertherm, Thermal Dynamics etc. It includes HD Plasmas like HPR130, 260, Ultra-cut series…. And it supports all CNC cutting controllers also. Like Hypertherm, Burny, and industrial level controller or MACH3 such DIY controllers, because it can start Auto Height Control with or without auto enable signal from CNC.

We designed Touch-up circuit for Anti-collision function. No matter it is on Auto Control Model or Manual Control Model, when torch head touches the workpiece, THC would automatically lift torch up to HIS height, so with HCA1002, even in Manual Control Model, user doesn’t need to worry about torch head crashing.
switch signal, set to detect arc voltage lead in THC. Once THC detect arc lead in, it send arc ok signal to CNC to start cut. Dynamic Pierce works by receiving plasma’s Dynamic Pierce signal (Kjellbery plasma has this signal) or plasma’s arc feedback signal. After HIS, THC controls plasma start arc, and it lifts torch up when arc strikes.

2、 Commission & Set 2.1、Operation Panel Introduction Arc Voltage Before Arc Start it shows the Set Arc voltage, after it shows the Actual Arc Voltage. Arc-Voltage Setting Based on the thickness of steel plate being cut and cutting speed, it shall be set according to the parameter offered by plasma, and it will be showed on operation panel.

HIS HEIGHT Set Initial Height, Turn clockwise, the height increase PIERCING DELAY Set the Delay Time from plasma start to CNC start cut (delay lead in arc voltage into THC), the arc feedback (Arc ok) signal would be sent to CNC only after arc voltage is detected by THC.

2. THC is on Auto Model; 3. Arc voltage has been lead in THC; 4. Actual Arc Voltage not higher than Set Arc Voltage over 30V. Note: A. When THC on Auto Mode, the 5 indicators all should be ON, if anyone is OFF, that means Auto Mode failed, please check the reason according to indicators.

2.2.1 None Isolation Voltage Divide Plasma Arc Voltage is divided by Voltage Divider (offered with THC) on 100:1 none isolate voltage divide, lead into THC after processed by Isolation Circuit. Arc Voltage has little effect on THC after Isolation Circuit. This voltage divider can be connected as Isolation Voltage Divider or Non Isolation Voltage Divide mode.

Note: Non Isolation Voltage Divide is backup for Isolation Voltage Divide. On Non Isolation Voltage Divide, AC220V power can be unconnected; but it must be connected on isolation voltage divide. 2.3 HIS 2.3.1 None Isolation Voltage Divide...

The Torch Retaining Cap should be metal, so the metal can be electric conducted with steel plate. It has a piece of Isolated HIS plate that can be fixed in the THC directly, the connection showed as Figure 2-4 below: Torch Retaining Cap HIS THC receives arc start signal from CNC, lift torch down, when torch retaining cap torches steel, THC lift torch up to set HIS height, After HIS, THC control plasma to start...

C. The cable connected to retaining cap must be Height Voltage cable. 2.3.2 Proximity Switch HIS HCA1002 supports torch retaining cap HIS and proximity switch HIS both. We recommend proximity switch HIS, which can be HIS and anti-collision function job both, especially cutting rusty/painted steel, Proximity switches HIS uses 3-pin connector, named on THC “Switch HIS”, Pin...

5.3 Some Advice 1. When Torch Retaining Cap HIS adopted, we suggest customers use Anti-Collision Fixture to fix cutting torch and lifter and connected it with Torch Retaining Cap. In practice, when the contact between Retaining Cap and workpiece is weak (especially the workpiece is Rusty or Dirty still plate,) Proximity Switch HIS takes effect;...

be separated away from Arc Start cable. 4. When it is HF Plasma, Please use shield cable on To Torch Connection port (connect motor). One side of shield connects to socket, another side connects to torch. And it should be away from torch cutting cable. To avoid lead in plasma high voltage into THC control circuit.
