The Arc Voltage Height Control system (AVHC) consists of the control box, cables, and lifter station with motor for mounting a standard Thermal Dynamics/Hypertherm/Miller machine torch. This unit's sole function is Plasma Torch height control, via manual jogging mode and automatic arc voltage control.
The Physical Z-Axis is used for Routing and for a probe sensor as well. The Price you are referring to is actually a package price for the Z axis with motor and Bob Cad software for programming 3d routing movements.
