CHS-10000 Capacitive Height Sensing System

To attain high quality cutting results, a precise control of the stand-off distance between the nozzle tip and the workpiece is required. The nozzle tip stand-off can be controlled within 0.01mm by using the CHS-10000 Capacitive Height Sensing System.

The CHS-10000 measures the nozzle tip stand-off distance and converts the measurement into an analog output signal. After calibrating the system to three known stand-off distances, the on-board microprocessor digitally linearizes the analog output signal. Automatic calibration can be accomplished by a simple PMC-interface. Two channel technology allows the user to store two different calibration curves for different nozzle types.

The CHS 10000 is equipped with an external clearance adjust feature. In addition, a hand-held remote option is available. For use with conductive work surface. Non-conductive materials require a tactile adapter (TTA-3029-M8-AMX) in place of the capacitive height sensing nozzle.
