Plasma Controller
The Plasma Controller from VATS Systematic Automation is a CNC control solution designed to manage and coordinate plasma cutting operations. It controls machine movement according to the programmed cutting path and communicates with compatible plasma cutting systems for automated metal fabrication.
A plasma controller forms an important part of a CNC plasma cutting machine by managing cutting programs, axis movement, torch operation and other machine functions. Depending on the selected configuration, the controller can work with torch height control systems, plasma power sources, drive systems and machine input/output controls.
The system is suitable for CNC plasma cutting applications involving mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other electrically conductive metals within the capability of the selected plasma cutting system.
Features of Plasma Controller
CNC Plasma Control
