The cut quality for thermal cutting processes is affected by the amount of clearance between the torch tip and cutting material. Automatic control of the clearance span lets you make a smooth, quality cut at higher speeds with the least amount of dross.
HF100 lets you achieve and maintain the optimum amount of cut clearance and can provide the following economical advantages:
- Less preparation time because the HF100 controller quickly establishes the correct amount of clearance.
- Increased productivity as a result of higher cutting speeds.
- Optimum cut quality, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary processing.
- Identical cut quality on all machines.
- Fully automatic CNC machines.
The HF100 controller also provides the following advantages:
- Clearance is measured using a capacitive system allowing reproducible setting and maintenance of the once adjusted clearance.
- The lifter motor is controlled by a transistorized H-bridge Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) amplifier using armature voltage feedback and adjustable current limitation.
- For automation purposes, the integrated control logic offers an In-position signal that can also be used to detect cut-outs or collision with tip-ups.
- Automatic retract of the torch if the high-frequency cable is broken or damaged. You can override this feature when in Manual mode and continue cutting until the problem can be corrected.
- Automatic retract in Manual mode if a collision occurs with work piece or tip-up. The retract action stops when collision is cleared.
- Visual fault codes to aid in quick troubleshooting.
- The functions are implemented in a single control box that also contains the adjustment knobs for clearance and sensitivity.
- Upgrade compatible to HFA2 controller
