Air Pollution Control System

Air Filtration System

 

Torchmate's New Air Pollution Control System collects dust and smoke for CNC Plasma Cutters. Its modular construction allows component orientations to be changed. Automatic, reverse pulse cleaning system allows for long cartridge life and is prewired to Photohelic® controls. A spark trap inlet protects the cartridges.

Laser Crosshairs

Torchmate's Laser Crosshairs is the newest addition to our wide array of Torchmate accessories.

Our laser crosshairs device will help you locate the torch position without having to cycle the Z-axis down. This helps you accurately place the material to be cut on the bed of your Torchmate machine. It also helps to view a tool path when test cycling a program without cutting.

Right is Torchmate's Laser Crosshairs with the Plate Marker attachment. See below for more information on our Plate Marker attachment. Click here for more information on Laser Crosshairs.

Probe Sensor
Available for use on any Torchmate Two, Three or X system, our Torchmate Probe Sensor gives your machine full prototyping capability. Put any sample shape or piece on your table, set the distance between passes and probe offset and walk away. Your system will recreate just about any part and the code to cut as many duplicates of it as you need. This is a great option when simple CAD drawings just are not possible. It is especially helpful when trying to recreate a complicated 3-D shape. Forget learning how to draw the part, just let your Torchmate Cutting System recreate it for you.

Plate Marker

Torchmate's New Automated Plate Marking Attachment requires no plate height setting. The pneumatic motion will travel until the pen contacts with the plate. The adjustable downward force prevents tool damage from hard impacts. This also prevents plate deformation. Adjusting downward force changes the engraved line for a thicker, deeper line. The adjustable pen throttle (BPM) affects line thickness and impacts per second for a dotted line effect or a smooth line effect.

The Plate Marking Attachment provides permanent, high-precision marking on a wide range of metals. Torchmate has been specializing in industrial strength shape cutting machines for 28 years. We pride ourselves on our customer service. Give us a call today! Click here for more information.

Thermal Dynamics and Hypertherm Plasma Cutters 
A CNC cutting system is only as accurate as the plasma torch it guides.  Don't short-change yourself by using an inferior plasma cutter.
 
Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster Series Plasma Cutters and Hypertherm's Powermax Series Plasma Cutters both use a pilot arc ignition system rather than a high frequency start, and are fully compatible both with your computer and our electronics.
 
Further, an arc voltage take-off is readily accessible on these plasma cutters, permitting you to use them with the above arc voltage torch height control.		 Thermal Dynamics Ultra-Cut 200

Automatic Tube Cutting Attachment


The Torchmate tube cutting attachment enables you to perform complex operations on tubing ranging from 1" to 8" in diameter.  You can perform saddle cuts in the sides of tubing, fish mouth cuts on the ends, slots, holes of any shape,  artistic designs, lettering, and much more.
 
The unit features a powerful magnetic drive wheel for steel and a urethane drive wheel for aluminum or stainless steel.  An air nozzle blows a light stream of air through the tubing to carry away the smoke, and heat.
 
Two cradle assemblies are provided, with adjustable rollers to fit varying diameters.  The cradles can be clamped in place, or will fit in 3/16" wide slat support slots.

The Tube Cutting Attachment's motor cable is plugged into the Y (short) axis connection on the power supply.  The action of the tube turning in concert with the length- wise movement of the X axis produces any desired shape.  A library of shapes common to tubing work is included.

Arc Voltage Torch Height Control
     

It is virtually impossible to level a 4' x 8' plate to the extent that a torch can maintain a precise 1/8" distance from it over the entire surface.  Moreover, most metal plate is not perfectly flat to start with.
 
The problem is compounded when the metal is reacting to the heat produced by the torch.  The answer is a fully automatic torch height control unit.
 
Our arc voltage torch height control monitors the voltage of the plasma arc, which varies with the distance between the torch tip and the material being cut.  Continuous automatic adjustments are made to keep the correct tip-to-work distance.

 Automated Z Axis for Routing of Wood, Plastic, and Soft Metals
Torchmate 2, Torchmate 3 and
Torchmate 4'x4' Small Shop Machine


One of the great advantages of the Torchmate over other systems is its ability to perform operations requiring a vertical (Z) axis working in conjunction with the X and Y axes.
 
This lets you make signs, cut kitchen counter tops, drill precisely located holes, apply solder or adhesive, and perform an almost endless variety of other activities.
 
Our automated Z axis option includes a physical vertical axis with precision ways and a lead screw, a third motor, and BobCad 3-D software.
 
Since two of the three driver boards normally used in the driver console are being used to power the two X axis motors, a fourth driver board must be installed in the console to control the Z axis.  That means that this accessory must be ordered at the time you initially purchase your Torchmate system.

 

 Includes BobCadCam 3D, v21software ($1,295 value, included for FREE with Torchmate Physical Z-axis)
