Control box
The control box (supplied by the table manufacturer) contains terminal blocks that route power and control signals to the
subsystems of the cutting system. The control box may also contain the drive amplifiers that amplify control signals from
the CNC to the motors for motion.
Drive system
The speed, smoothness, and accuracy of the cuts are determined by the combination of the CNC, encoders, drive
amplifiers, THC, gears, rails, servo motors, and how well they are integrated (tuned) by the table manufacturer. The
MicroEDGE Pro is typically used with drives and motors selected by the table manufacturer.
For more information on the drive system for your cutting system, refer to the manual supplied by the table manufacturer.
torch height control (tHC)
The THC controls the distance between the torch and the workpiece (plate), also know as the standoff. This standoff is
usually defined by height or voltage.
If a Hypertherm THC has been configured as part of your system, consult one of the following manuals for more
information about installing and using it:
• Sensor™ PHC (806150)
• Sensor™ THC (806400, 806410, and 806420)
• Command® THC (802780)
• ArcGlide® THC (806450)
If your THC is manufactured by another company, refer to the manual supplied by the table manufacturer.
oxyfuel torch
Automated cutting systems can also be configured with oxyfuel torches by adding an oxygen height control (OHC).
If the Hypertherm Sensor OHC is configured in your system, refer to the Sensor OHC manual (MANU-0044) for
information about installation and operation. For other devices, refer to the appropriate manual.
Refer to the manual supplied by the table manufacturer for more information about an oxyfuel torch.
Marker
A marker can be any device or process that marks a plate rather than piercing or cutting it. If the Hypertherm ArcWriter
is configured in your system, refer to the ArcWriter manual (802520) for information about installation and operation.
Any HPR plasma system can also be used for marking. See the appropriate HPR manual for more information.
For other devices or processes, refer to the appropriate manual.
