Introduction; Specifications; Items Supplied - Bug-O Systems AVC-2060 Instructions And Parts Manual

INTRODUCTION

The AVC-2060 is an Plasma Height Control (PHC) for the Pendulum Weaver (WPD-2100) that controls
the tip to work distance and maintains a constant voltage, which provides a more uniform result.
Available in three models, by voltage. Plasma Height Control senses the actual voltage, compares
this value to the set point, and raises or lowers the torch accordingly. It features motion based on the
plasma source "ok to move" signal and automatically shuts off when voltage drops too low (generally
below 36 volts).
The AVC-2060 Plasma Height Control is available as original equipment or as a retrofit unit designed
to provide automated height control on the BUG-O Modular Drive Systems (MDS) with a Pendulum
Weaver (WPD-2100). Height Slide Assembly (CAS-1500) replaces the welding clamp originally
supplied on the Pendulum Weaver.
