Watch for polarity! A cutter’s clamp is positive voltage potential and it goes to pin1. You should use a HV input terminal pin1 and pin6. Make sure you use a double isolated short wire for voltage detection. In that case you will probably need to do some adaptation on the cutter itself as usually doesn’t have such an output. The first is connecting directly to cutters output. When you insert the cable, you will feel a click. Make sure you remove plastic caps at optical transmitter/receiver and protection caps on the optical cable. Connect AC power supply (110 VAC-230 VAC/50-60 Hz) and apply optical cable to PlasmaSens and optical interface. PlasmaSensįirst we have to power up PlasmaSens and establish communication with PoKeys57CNC. In this article we will focus on a THC setup options and we will assume that we already set the axis, motor parameters and limit switches. It is always a good idea to install the latest application and plugin version! To be sure, you can check if PoKeys.dll exists in C:\Mach3\PlugIns folder.

The PoKeys Mach3 plugin will be automatically installed along with the app. The next thing if you are going to use PlasmaSens with a PK57CNC controller is to download the PoKeys configuration package and run the installation. I also advise you to browse on a YouTube how to start with Mach3. If you will working with Mach3 for the first time here is a link where to download it: Mach3 download page.

The last one is suitable for cutters with internal voltage divider output. High voltage input up to 350 VDC or low voltage input up to 10 VDC. Moreover device offers two arc voltage level inputs. PlasmaSens and PlasmaSensOut are design on modern 32 bit microprocessor’s voltage measurement technology. Let’s get to the point! How to use plasma with Mach3? Mach3 plasma setup quick guideįirst let me briefly introduce our two product from torch control PlasmaSens series and the difference between them. This article will guide you through the process of setting THC with your CNC controller board and Mach3. Here is a quick guide how to easy perform Mach3 plasma setup.
