Ohmic sensor without THC

Post by RobGerlick »

Hello,
I'm hoping to add an ohmic sensor to my torch but I don't have the THC (not yet... planning on it down the line). Is this possible with the Acorn? I thought I read somewhere that maybe an independent ohmic sensor box could be used directly with the Acorn. I see in the Acorn Wizard Input Configuration an input selection option for "Ohmic Sensor." But I'm not sure how or if this would work here.

Many thanks for feedback.
-Rob

Hello Rob,

You can certainly hook up any touch off device. Just run the touch off device's Output to the Acorn's Input like any other Limit or Homing Switch.

Here is an Acorn Plasma without THC Schematic https://www.centroidcnc.com/dealersuppo ... 260.r1.pdf
