One-line value prop: Three-axis plate cutting with precise, operator-controlled Z—fast setup, kerf-accurate paths, and safe pierce/cut workflows (upgradeable to THC)..
Who uses it: Fabrication & job shops, HVAC/ducting, metal service centers, maintenance and prototyping cells.
Works with: Gantry tables with X-Y motion and a Z lifter (DC motor or stepper/servo).
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-SMART 3AS / PC-PRO LAN 4A
Supported files: DXF and standard G-code (e.g., ArtCAM / PowerMill posts)
Important: This interface does not include Torch Height Control (THC).
For live arc-voltage height control, use XYZ Cutter + THC.
XY gantry + Z lifter for torch height moves; configurable work envelope with homing and soft limits.
Preset pierce height / cut height / retract moves; safe approach and park macros.
Supports magnetic breakaway, sheet sensors, and E-stop chain.
I/O mapping for torch on/off, gas/oxygen valves, purge, alarms/beacons, and safety interlocks.
Pierce dwell and gas pre-flow/post-flow timers; Pause/Resume with position hold.
Live Absolute/Relative readouts, feed-rate override, and per-axis jog/step controls.
Use when: You have a simple lift driven by a DC motor (no step/dir).
How it works: Digital outputs jog the lift: C-Zfree = +1 → Z Up, C-Zfree = −1 → Z Down (timed macros to reach pierce/cut heights).
Ideal for: Basic plasma/oxy tables with fixed standoff or occasional manual nudging.
Notes: No pulse/dir, no encoder/THC—operator or sequence toggles outputs.
Use when: You want precise Z positioning but prefer to trim height manually during the cut.
How it works: Pulse/Direction control on Z; operator adjusts Z from the screen/pendant while the toolpath runs (store pierce/cut height macros, home & soft limits).
Ideal for: Shops needing accuracy without arc-voltage automation.
Use when: You need automatic standoff on thin or uneven sheets.
How it works: The THC module reads arc voltage and closes the loop on Z to hold the target height (set target V, gain/deadband, anti-dive, sample/hold on corners).
Ideal for: High-precision plasma cutting, long cuts, warped material.
DXF/G-code import with on-screen preview.
Automatic kerf/offset, lead-in/lead-out (arc/radial/tangent), corner slow-down, micro-tabs.
Ordering rules (inner→outer), clamp keep-outs, and dry-run (torch off).
Run reports: time, cut length, pierces, pauses/alarms; operator notes saved with the job.
Kerf-accurate DXF/G-code cutting with clean leads
Operator Z trim during cutting; stored pierce/cut height macros
Inner→outer sequencing, micro-tabs, and clamp keep-outs
Dry-run, Pause/Resume, feed override, full interlocks
Job logging for repeatability
Open DXF/G-code and preview.
Home axes; set X0/Y0 and confirm pierce/cut heights.
Dry-run (torch off), check clamps and order.
Run; trim Z as needed; use Pause/Resume safely.
Save the run report and notes.

If you want, I can paste this into your site/CMS or update the canvas draft to match this final version.
Seamlessly load and execute DXF files without the need for G-code conversion — streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time.
Select specific parts from complex drawings and customize cutting order with intuitive control over toolpath sequencing.
Scale, rotate, and mirror parts directly within the interface — with live toolpath previews to ensure precision.
Manually drag and drop parts onto your material sheet to accommodate irregular shapes, pre-cut stock, or remnant reuse.
Set up to three independent pause points — before the cut, during the cut, and after the cut — for manual checks or operational adjustments.
Execute toolpaths in reverse to minimize material warping or adjust final exit points based on design needs.
Perform a complete motion test without activating the torch. Ideal for verifying the toolpath before live cutting.
Project flat designs onto cylindrical surfaces for precision tube and pipe cutting operations.
Real-time arc-voltage feedback ensures dynamic Z-axis height control — maintaining optimal torch-to-material distance during operation.
