| Automatic Torch Height Control: Our automatic torch height control units are state-of-the- art electronic units with a self-contained computer. They should not be confused with inexpensive switch controlled units that have no way of monitoring or adjusting torch tip-to-work distance while cutting. Competing height controls on similarly priced machines either adjust torch height only at the beginning of each cut, or require you to control the height with a manual switch. |

Z Axis: Our Torchmate 2 CNC systems come with 3-D circuitry, and our driver software can execute the full range of 3-D operations, including routing, engraving, signmaking, etc. All that is necessary is to add our physical Z axis column package and a router or other suitable tool, and you are ready for these kinds of tasks. The package includes the column, motor, cabling, and BobCad 3-D software. The added versatility of being able to do 3-D work in wood, plastic, corian, laminate, etc., gives a Z axis equipped Torchmate 2 a distinct advantage over competing machines. |
