Sensor™ PHC Operation and Setup Guide
Features
Sensor™ PHC Plasma Height Control is an automated height control system for plasma shape cutting
applications. This product uses microprocessor technology to automatically detect the plate and adjust torch
position to an arc voltage set point during plasma cutting operations. This reduces operator input, improves
accuracy and increases productivity. The design of the Sensor™ PHC has been optimized for lower power
conventional plasma operation.
