OVERVIEW

Reliable Height Sensing for Automated Plasma

The Thermal Dynamics 15-1208 Ohmic Sense Cable is a critical component for industrial automated plasma cutting systems. Designed to facilitate Ohmic contact detection, this 100-foot (30.5-meter) cable connects the plasma torch shield or ohmic clip directly to the system's Torch Height Control (THC). By establishing an electrical circuit upon contact with the workpiece, the system can accurately determine the plate's surface location before initiating the arc.

In high-production environments, the reliability of the Initial Height Sensing (IHS) sequence is paramount. A faulty or poor-quality cable can lead to missed surface detections, resulting in torch crashes, damaged consumables, or failed pierces. This genuine OEM cable from Thermal Dynamics is engineered to withstand the harsh environment of a cutting table, featuring durable insulation that resists abrasion and electrical interference.

With a generous length of 100 feet, this cable is suitable for routing through cable chains on large gantry tables without the need for extensions that could degrade signal quality. It is an essential spare part for maintenance teams managing Thermal Dynamics automated cutting solutions, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent cutting performance.

FAQ

It transmits the electrical signal when the torch shield touches the workpiece, allowing the height controller to establish the initial pierce height.

The cable is 100 feet (30.5 meters) long, making it suitable for large cutting tables.

Yes, this is a genuine Thermal Dynamics product, ensuring compatibility with their automated systems.

Ohmic sensing allows the machine to find the exact surface of the plate without relying on mechanical switches, which improves accuracy and reduces cycle time.

Yes, it can be cut to length by a qualified technician, but excess length is often coiled or managed in the cable track to preserve the factory termination if possible.

If the cable is damaged, the system may fail to detect the plate, causing the torch to crash into the material or fail to start the arc.
