Does anyone have a set of plans for making a THC ? I have a Hypertherm 1000. Thanks Rxe

I have the electronics that Rutex sold as a stand alone THC. It worked quite well. I upgraded my table to use his r510a plasma control board which has a thc included in the circutry and no longer require it. I have 2 control boards (1 new and unused for a backup), the set of switches and 1 board installed in a cheap steel case. If you are interested, please email me at stlspply@sasktel.net.

Hello, you wouldn't happen to still have any parts, pieces to the Rutex stuff? Allso, did you by chance take any photos of the THC setup you could share? I'm just having a hard time getting to the next step with this setup. Thanks, Aj. use my e-mail if you like: ajclay@cox.net

For low cost Full Digital Torch Height Controller AND powered, isolated Breakout BOB for proper interface for ALL I/O to MACH3:

www.CandCNC.com/MP3000-DTHC.htm

Even cheaper is to buy the modular card set with the optional DTHC module and install in your case/enclosure: www.CandCNC.com/UBOB.htm [UBOB Builders Pak II]

You will need to address the interface to the PC and MACH3 (motion control software) regardless of the type THC you buy/build. In the MP3000 series it's all integrated in. It's the only solution that supports all of the required inputs/outputs needed for machine operation from ONE PARALLEL PORT. Upgrade to Digital Torch Height is a plug-in module and custom MACH Screens and software drivers.
