17.4. Torch Breakaway Signal
The torch breakaway signal is used to stop plasma and machine axis movements if the plasma torch is hit
during a cut.
For this setup, generally the torch is mounted on magnetic holders and when the torch hits something such
as a cut metal piece then the torch comes off the magnetic holders triggering a switch or sensor.
Wiring example
Below is a simple wiring example showing how to wire a torch breakaway switch. A 5 to 24 VDC signal can
be used.
