We taped a video camera to the gantry on our Torchmate CNC Plasma Cutting Table for a ride along while it was cutting. Here you can see the plasma cutter going up and down using the Arc Voltage Torch Height Control. The plasma cutter fires at a higher pierce height and then drops to the proper cut height prior to moving. In the video we are cutting out the plates we use to build the Torchmate 2×2 CNC Prototyping System Water Tables out of 3/16″ thick mild steel. For more information go to http://www.torchmate.com.
