    Plasma torch crash protection

    I have talked to Torch Mate and they dont have one available at this time.
    Is there anyone out there that makes a reasonably priced Plasma torch crash protector for torch mate?
    Thanks.Mick

    It is very well made and works well. I have been using one for a couple of years.

    Plasma Torch holder/protection

    plasmatorchprotectionsystem has a crash/collision protection system that works with the Torch mate riser,you change out Torchmates torch holder brackets and replace with an adapter that allows the use of a crash protector that has a switch built in to stop gantry movement and plasma arc in the event of a crash.
    We installed one on our Torchmate 3 about 6 months ago and love it.

    We had the same problem with the torch crashing into the workpiece. We developed a collar that clamps onto the torch and three spring feelers sense the top of the metal to prevent the THC from driving the torch down and causing a crash. Also the spring feelers can be used to probe for the top of the material at each new pierce and set the Z height to 0.
