9-9388 - Thermal Dynamics XT Torch Ohmic Sensing Clip

Precise Height Sensing for Automated Cutting

The Thermal Dynamics 9-9388 Ohmic Clip is a specialized component engineered for the XT series of automated plasma torches. In the realm of CNC plasma cutting, precision is paramount, and the initial height sensing (IHS) sequence is the foundation of a successful cut. This ohmic clip attaches securely to the torch shield cup, providing the necessary electrical contact point that allows the height control system to detect the surface of the metal plate before the arc is initiated.

By establishing an accurate 'zero' point on the workpiece, the 9-9388 Ohmic Clip enables the system to retract to the exact pierce height required. This accuracy is critical for minimizing molten blowback during piercing, which significantly extends the lifespan of your nozzles and shields. Without a functioning ohmic clip, automated systems may rely on torque sensing or stall detection, which can be less accurate on thin materials or flexible sheets. This genuine Thermal Dynamics part ensures seamless integration with your Cutmaster automation system or other setups utilizing the XT-301 torch platform.

Manufactured to strict OEM tolerances, this clip maintains consistent conductivity and mechanical fit. In industrial environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, relying on genuine Thermal Dynamics consumables and accessories ensures your equipment operates at peak efficiency. Whether you are cutting mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, the reliability of your height sensing loop starts with the integrity of the ohmic clip.
