Lincoln Electric TORCHMATE 5100 User Manual page 46

AVHC (Arc Voltage Height Control) hosts "HOW" the controller handles the lifter station. Dashboard gives the
operator insight into the head position and other status indicators.
IHS MODE is the process used to detect the material height and how it reacts between pierces.
• Optimal - Optimal makes an initial IHS (ohmic) material
material thickness to process another IHS (ohmic). This allows the machine to skip the full ohmic detection
process on cuts that are located very close to the previous sense, increasing productivity.
• Always - The head will detect the material via OHMIC at every pierce.
AVHC MODE is a toggle between MANUAL or AUTO.
• Manual - The torch will stay at the Cut Height established at each material pierce. It will not automatically
adjust the cut height during cutting.
• Auto - The torch will maintain the distance entered in CUT HEIGHT and profile the material based on the SET
VOLTAGE and the CURRENT VOLTAGE being read from the plasma power supply.

AVHC (Automatic Voltage Height Control):
Cut Parameters can be toggled between Program Defined and User
Defined.
• Program Defined - The cut parameters will automatically
generate based on the Process Setup parameters.
• User Defined - Job runs off of the manually entered cut
parameters.
Sample Voltage is a toggle between On or Off.
• On (with MODE: AUTO) - At the beginning of the cut the
controller learns the proper Arc Voltage and maintains the
desired Cut Height value entered in the CUT
PARAMETERS.
• Off (with MODE: AUTO) - The AVHC will adjust based on
the SET VOLTAGE and CURRENT VOLTAGE only. If the SET
VOLTAGE is different than the CURRENT VOLTAGE then the
lifter will adjust to account for the difference.
• On/Off (with AVHC MODE: MANUAL) - Disables the feature.
