Plasma Distance From Corner
Specifies the distance after turning a corner at which the plasma system should enable the
Automated Height Sensor. Distance from Corner is active whenever the speed drops
below the Plasma Hi/Lo Percentage, or segments intersect at an angle greater than the
tangent angle.
Example:
In the following illustration, the Torch Height Disable output is activated based on the
values of the setup parameters.
Plasma Hi/Lo Percentage Value 90%
Distance to Corner Value
.5 inches
Distance from Corner Value .5 inches
Tangent Angle Value 20 Degrees
For these values, the Torch Height Disable output is active 0.5 inch before and 0.5 inch
after each 90 degree corner. The THD output is also activated as the torch accelerates
away from the pierce and through the arc because the speed is below the Plasma Hi/Lo
value. Finally, because the arc intersects at greater than the 20-degree tangent angle, the
THD output is activated for 0.5 inches before and after the beginning of the arc, and is
activated for 0.5 inches before and after the end of the arc.
