Hypertherm 45 - GoTorch

Post by Vern2 »

Bought Basic Touch Height control, Options below.Image

I'm concerned about what PlasmaCam did changing height options to 0.1" of an inch. If I have to use 0.1" will the cut height of 0.060 and pierce height of 0.125 be affected?

For the best setting, it seems I have to use 0.1 for both cut height and pierce height.

Should I just move to the Advance THC?

Can't you just type in the height you want....06"? If you can only go in .1" increments then yes...you cannot control the height accurately. You can get this question best answered from GoTorch (PlasmaCam...I suggest contacting their tech service group...or go on one of the support forums (PlasmaPig, or the user group oin the PlasmaCam site.

In the pcam video manual, see chapter 6 / Settings Commands / Settings / Height Control Page / Basic Height Control

I hope that helps, I know it's harder and more frustrating than expected, hang in there....

SignTorch,

Your rigft the menu is there.

See that I have selected Basic Height Control on video disk.

The image below is the Torch Height Control that's on my vidio disk, not the one that's above. The settings I really have. The video disk talks about the setting below not the ones I have in my basic torch control settings.

in your picture, you have to click on the 'height-control' tab to get to those settings

I didn't study it, but it seemed to explain them

your screen doesn't have all the options shown in the video because that depends on which upgrades you have installed
