Torchmate is proud to introduce the newest version of our Arc Voltage Height Control system. The new height control has been redesigned to reduce your cycle times and incorporate many features found on much more expensive units.

Competing units either adjust the torch height only at the beginning of a cut, or require you to personally control the adjustment with a switch. Our arc voltage torch height control is fully automatic, continuously making fine adjustments throughout the cutting process. This is particularly important when cutting thinner materials that react to the heat of the torch.

To properly configure your Torchmate Drivers software version 4 when using the Arc Voltage Height Control (AVHC) unit, the drop down box must be changed from False to True.

Dialing in your pierce height is the cornerstone to successful plasma cutting.
