I have a plasma table under construction and the most sensible controller choice seems to be the Proma MyPlasma, not otherwise identified by number You are the first RUclipsr that I have found to be using this system. I contacted the distributor concerning user groups or other sites and drew a blank. Do you have a comment on this controller? It is obviously working very well for you as I don't recall a mention of problems. It's also obvious that you know your stuff and you did a great build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for for the comments! Yes the controller has worked great! I think it was a really good choice. Like you I had trouble finding others using it. A lot of people are using the Proma auto torch height controller and seem to be happy with it after they were able to get it tuned in. I was going to go with one myself but when I found that for only a few dollars more I could get the myplasm set which comes with the auto THC and the controller. I figured it was worth going for . I recommend reading the manuals (available on their website) to get an idea of how everything works. I bought the two package deal just in case I need a spare. I haven’t had any problems. If you have any specific questions let me know... I’m very happy with the controller!
@@mrkrazyjeep I really appreciate your response as information seems to be rare unless you read Polish. Are you referring to the "manual" on the Automation Technology website? What is the two package deal? I'm building this unit entirely from a raw material standpoint with the exception of ball leadscrews, motors, bearings and controls. My Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 58 is only a year old, but does not have an ATC board or connector. The adapter kit is available for around $216, but I like the idea of wiring it as described in the "manual" and as you explained in your video. I also like the idea of the Proma controller being a plasma-dedicated unit as I am a manual machinist and don't have the time to learn a 3-D program that I do not need. I noticed that STV CNC Applications is using the this controller on the SPARX tables they are marketing. I respect your privacy as you do mine, but would be pleased to communicate with you via email if there would be a way to do that. Thanks again.
If you go to the Proma homepage, in the upper left section you’ll see country flags. Select the British flat and the page will switch to English, from there it’s easy to navigate to the manuals. When you get to the manuals make sure to select the ones that end in eng for English. I would be more than glad to communicate directly! If you can’t find the manuals send me you email address and I’ll email the manuals to you...
@@mrkrazyjeep Wow! The information I was looking for in my native language! Thanks for the help. I will probably find the answer as I dig in, but I notice you have a secondary spring-loaded slide on your Z-axis mechanism. Perhaps you could explain as I note some systems use this design and some don't. I am in the design-build phase of the torch holder right now. You may contact me directly. huffman@ohio.edu Really appreciate it.

When I bought mine they some deal that if you bought two you got a little discount. I’m not sure if they are still doing that
