INTRODUCTION
The FTS-1025 Freestanding Torch Support with Automated Height Control (AHC) is a compact
easy to use system designed to maintain a constant torch-to-work distance automatically. A shunt
continuously monitors the welding current, and the controller adjusts the torch height to maintain
constant torch-to-work distance. Rack and pinion movement on hardened V-ways provides smooth
and effortless positioning of the welding gun or cutting torch. Can be used with Sub-Arc, Innershield
and MIG welding.
FEATURES
Multi-turn potentiometer with dial display for current set-point.
Automatic AHC shutoff for low current.
Built-in time delay after arc is struck, before AHC begins current sensing.
Manual jog to override AHC while welding.
Speed control potentiometer sets speed during manual operation, limits top speed for AHC.
Four quadrant motor for smooth vertical travel.
