VHC-300 Arc Voltage Height Controller is an automatic height control device for CNC cutting machines, suitable for most imported or domestic plasma torches with constant current characteristics. It utilizes the basic constant current characteristics of the plasma power source to detect the voltage changes of the plasma arc and achieve height control of the plasma torch.

Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of the VHC-300 controller?
It provides automatic height control for plasma torches on CNC cutting machines with constant‑current plasma sources.
What are the two initial positioning methods supported by the VHC-300?
Protective‑hat (contact) positioning and proximity‑switch positioning, either alone or both together.
How is the arc‑on signal indicated on the controller?
The Arc on indicator lamp lights when the arc‑control signal is sent to the plasma source.
