cutmaster 102 on a mach3 based cnc

Post by Lawrence0485 »

Hey guys i have a chance at picking up a cutmaster 102 at a very good price. Im wondering what it will take to make it play well on my mach3 system. my bob is a very simple one with a relay that closes and fires the torch. I guess what im asking is will i be able to run a thc with it?

There is a CNC interface board for it. I think it is around $200. It will give you a 50:1 voltage for a THC.
This is where I bought the one for the shop.

There is arc good,Full arc voltage, and torch contractor inside the machine on lugs, and pins.. Meaning if your THC uses full arc voltage, then you can forgo the CNC interface kit..I have ran them both ways with CandCnc indutance probe, and their voltage card..
