Appendix H: Sensor™ THC 207
THC Speeds
THC Acceleration Rate
This parameter allows the operator to set the acceleration rate for smooth and stable movement of
the Sensor™ Torch Height Control. The higher the acceleration rate, the quicker the THC will get up
to speed. The lower the acceleration rate, the smoother the machine will position the cutting device.
Values are entered in Milligees.
Maximum THC Speed
Enter the maximum speed for the Sensor™ THC movement in inches/millimeters per minute.
THC Jog Speed
Enter a value for the desired THC jog speed.
THC Home/Fast IHS Speed
The THC Home/Fast IHS Speed entered here is used to home the torch at the top of the slide and to
quickly maneuver the torch from the selected IHS height to the plate.
THC Slow IHS Speed
The THC IHS Speed is used to retract the torch after the plate has been sensed. The torch will retract
at this speed until the contact sense is lost. This determines the exact distance to the plate,
regardless of any flexing of the plate. A very small speed is recommended for optimal accuracy.
Note: Due to the quick response time of the Sensor™ THC, generally there is no need for a value to
be entered at the “Distance to Corner” parameter to lock or “freeze” the position of the torch. It is,
however, suggested that a value be entered for the “Distance from Corner” to stabilize the torch
during acceleration.
