A friend is building a CNC table for his plasma torch. The stuff for the X and Y axis will be purchased as kits.
He was wondering if I could build a Z axis controler (torch height controller).
The torch needs to be positioned away from the work based on the current flowing through the torch to the work.
Some other means of measuring the torch to work distance would prevent the controller from slamming the torch into the work.
On the surface this seemed to be a workable project.
What do you think ?
