The Torchmate 1 kit comes with X and Y motors so one of the questions is if I will need Z axis motor to performance a plane plasma cutting metal shapes. And the other is if can add a Z axis to make non plane plasma cutting to the Torchmate 1 kid.
And one more, what is a Torchmate Probe Sensor?
Tell me if you can help me with these questions.
Tks.
If you are referring to making Plasma cuts on material that is not Planar with the gantry (thus the torch) you would be referring to something like our Automatic Height Control, that can use the Arc Voltage reading from the Plasma cutter to adjust a motor that will keep the torch planar with the material while cutting.
This is an option on our tables, and if the material remains flat (say a heavier gauge plate) then an AVHC is not needed.
The Probe sensor is something used on our Z axis routing tables, for 3d mapping a small area to recreate a part.
