Sorotec does not use any PoLabs products. Without our own experience, however, we lack the basis for competent advice. This is expressly not a rating! We do not sell products that we are not convinced of their quality.
If you have any questions about the selection or troubleshooting, please contact the manufacturer directly (http://support.poscope.com/). |
PlasmaSens is a torch height sensor for using with plasma cutter equipment. In a combination with a PoKeys57CNC controller, PlasmaSens is a reliable torch height controller (THC). PlasmaSens provides an accurate arc voltage measurement based on modern microprocessor’s technology.
Efficient and precise cutting of material depends on torch distance from a workpiece and appropriate plasma arc. The arc voltage is proportional to the distance between the torch and the workpiece and should stay as equal as possible across the entire cutting surface. Therefore plasma’s voltage data is important for a Z-axis position update.
With a mains AC power supply built-in and a total optical output isolation, PlasmaSens is very simple for physical installation and safe to use. The device offers two arc voltage level inputs. High voltage input up to 350 VDC or low voltage input (without 1:50 internal divider) up to 10 VDC.

- Plasma voltage measurement up to 350 V
- Main AC power supply (110 ... 230 VAC / 50 ... 60 Hz)
- Full optical output isolation; transmitter and receiver connected via optical fibre cable
- Additional input for divided plasma voltage (1:50) up to 10 V
- Plasma voltage present signalization
- Plugin support Mach3 (Mach4 coming soon)
- DIN-rail mountable housing
Package includes:
- PlasmaSens device
