    If you wanted to download my design for geared motor mounts:
    grabcad.com/library/brushed-g...
    In this video, I showed the process of installing a SF-HC25G torch height controller (THC) system. This system is initially designed for the StarFire stand-alone CNC controller, not Mach3. But with the flexibility offered by Mach3 (customization through macro script), in the end, I was able to make this system works almost natively on my home-built CNC plasma cutting table.
    This THC system perform exceptionally well (very comparable with more expensive ones), especially for its price. I was able to cut very thin and warped sheet metals (0.5mm thickness) at 6000mm/minute.
    Because the system wasn't designed for Mach3 and the lack of instructions, I spent a lot of time debugging things:
    - Writing macro scripts to make the THC system communicate with Mach3 Controller board.
    - The choices of brushed geared motor and the lead on the leadscrew or ballscrew are very important. The brushed geared motor must have high torque and reasonable rated RPM to move the Z axis in the range of: 1200mm/minute to 2000mm/minute.

    Great job, as I mentioned in a previous video using normally open on a limit switch can be dangerous, if one of the wires comes off or is cut without you noticing you can crash the machine as no alarm is sent, but by using normally closed if a wire comes off or is cut you will get an alarm and the machine will stop.
    I am amazed at some of your builds, you make things look so easy, I`m slowly working through all your videos, thanks for sharing.

    Suspense oh suspense. I feared that you'll be running out of solutions... Great job indeed. Knowing that you manage to understand the role of each knob/switch, is stunning. Now you're up to write a user manual of the Chinese stuff ;) One point though, especially for newbies with mach3: understanding mach3 macros could help a lot.
    This upgrade is I think one of your hardest challenges. Most of the time your diagnosis was not wrong. I admire your great intuition. Thank you for all. I wish I'll have one day the courage to build your cutting table, hoping that you'll provide soon the complete details of the how-to. Now that it perfectly works I'd like to have one in my basement...

    • @minhsmancave9448

      Then all you need is courage then since I already have a whole series of videos about building this table including the design (I shared on GrabCAD) and even how to setting up CAM for some part in fusion 360 (And you can cut all the parts using your 3018 CNC).
      You definitely should build one but not in your basement tho. The smoke and spark will make you build a new house very soon.

    Some of Minh's posts as a matter of fact, require more than any average guy's technical knowledge. Despite the details and explanations he provides, that could narrow his audience. I don't plan to build this wonderful stuff in the next future but I need to watch it more than once to get sure that I understand the big picture. Lost in the details sometimes... Admirable achievement though. Hope Minh will give an idea of the total price of his cutting table. Mach3 seems to be a great software. Thank you Minh!

      Nahh, if you're into machining you already have more than average guy's technical knowledge to skim out what you need. I showed the whole process but there's only few things people really need to do to make this work. And that's also what I will put in the guide. I built this machine to last long time, but I have an idea to convert a cheap laser engraver set into this type of CNC plasma cutting table. That probably will lower the cost by a few hundreds of $.

    • @minhsmancave9448
      @minhsmancave9448  3 года назад

      At that time, I had the fake Tb6600 motor driver on the Z axis and I couldn't finish any cut. The torch kept drifting away from the sheet metals. I thought It was the THC but I found out later that the motor driver was very bad, it cause the stepper motor to lose steps, drifting, etc. So, I think that the problem was not the THC, it was the motor driver. But I already sold that system so I had to buy this new one.

  • @trialnterror
    @trialnterror 2 года назад

    I have a question sir. I have the same voltage divider board as you. Although I am hooking it up to a centroid acorn THC. With a victor cutmaster 42 by thermal dynamics which has no Cnc port. So I need a voltage divider board. The Centroid THC wants a input that is 50:1.
    I see on your write up (which is amazing and will contribute to your channel with a cash donation!) that you input the arc voltage to pin headers J2. Then run 220v to the pin headers J3. Now my Thc wants to see 50:1 voltage so would I hook up to the J6 header to get 50:1 voltage?
    Next the trigger is hooked to j4 my thc schematic calls for the trigger to be hooked to the centroid acorn one of the 8 relays on the relay board. Would I go to the ST to 24- on header J7? Or just go from the trigger to the acorn relay?
    Recap
    1. Is the 50:1 output on header J6?
    2. Can you trigger the plasma trigger using header J7?
    3. What is output of J7? What is ST, and V
    4. Does header J7 24+ and 24- output 24 volts or is it an input of 24 volts?
    5. Thank you for this video and all you do!

    • @trialnterror
      @trialnterror 2 года назад

      I figured it out with your write up instructions. I had apply 24 volts to the board then I had to jump ST to 24- that gives me 50:1 out of ST and V to my acorn plasma board. I would like to figure out how to bypass the 24v side to get 50:1 without applying the 24volts. The header that’s labeled 50:1 gives no output that I can tell.

    I have installed this unit as per your pdf instructions and used the macros for Mah3 and when I use the Up & Down keys I see the Output 3 & 4 lights up in Mach3 diagnostic screen, but I get no movement. I have tested and I have power on the 24V =&- pins and when I try and manually move the Z axis by applying the negative to either Up or Down I still get nothing. So I am stumped. I know my Z axis works because it moves when I put power direct to the motor wires, and BTW no power output to motor output pins on the THC mainboard. The board is getting power and the display works fine, so wonder if there is a fault with the board or is it my Mach3 setup ??

      Use multimeter to measure voltage on the output pins to make sure you have output signal. If you try to move the axis using using the pins on the thc boards but and doesn't move, then fix that problem fist. I cannot really do diagnostic through internet

      @@minhsmancave9448 Minh I measured the outputs on the BOB board and there is no volts on any of the four output pins. I measured the THC Control Inputs have 24V on all pins except for 0- OK pin which has 12V. So I am guessing that the BOB is either faulty or I have it configured wrong in Mach 3, but I followed your steps to the letter, and both X & Y axis works they should. So any suggestions. Thanks :)

      @@minhsmancave9448 I did some digging and someone on CNCzone said that the BOB needed 24v to activate the outputs, so I changed that and now the led's on the relays turn on when U & D keys are used and there is voltage on the BOB output pins. I will test it out tomorrow when I connect it to the CNC. Thanks

      Minh, this is driving me crazy and I am not sure what is at fault, the RnRmotion BOB or the THC unit.
      I changed the input voltage to the BOB to 24V as per recommendations and that improved the outputs, and now I have -11.5V on output 3 & 4 when active, and the relays are turning on when activated by the Up /down macros as they should.
      Problem now is that I am still not getting Z motor outputs through the THC Motor pins + - when the Up/Down Macros run through the keyboard commands.
      I have tried directly shorting the 24V - and + to the Up/Down ports on the THC control outputs as per your video and still nothing.
      But, if I connect the Z motor + - leads directly to the THC control outputs and use the keyboard commands, the motor spins in one direction, and I have to swap polarity to get it to move in the opposite direction.
      So I am stumped as to which is not working correctly. Is it the BOB board, or is it the THC control board.
      The RNRmotion clones are known for being flakey and pretty poor quality, but the rest seems to be working fine like the X,Y axis etc.
      I have read the THC manual fully and it gives very little info, least of all problems.
      So before I waste more money I have to work out what to go after first, better BOB maybe ??

    Hi there, just wanna ask about thc on your plasma cut, mine use eagle usb breakoutboard, thc proma sd, not working well after several cut, the BOB board gone crazy even i have grounding earthing, the suspect is after install thc the problem happen which i use raw voltage on thc, my plasma cut have no voltage divider (just my suspect)

    • @minhsmancave9448
      @minhsmancave9448  3 года назад

      It's hard for me to say because I don't have those components. But in my experience, there's always a voltage divider somewhere. It's impossible for the Thc to use the raw cutting voltage since it's so high that will burn any electronic components. The voltage divider on a connector on the plasma cutter, if not, you will need a separate board or check if it's integrated in your proma.

I have spoken with the seller and he has contacted the manufacturer, but there is nothing available I have been told.
    I ordered it with a lifter that has a movement of 1800mm/min. I hope I can get this working or it wont be cheap at $480AUD (THC + lifter + freight)

      I followed your instructions fully, using the same Mach3 board, same relay board, same THC system. I added the supplied files that you created and when I did that I get a message from Mach3 after pressing the rest button on start-up that says "Two m codes used by the same modal group, Block = M80 M108 M800"
      What should I do?

      I've never heard of this complain and can't be sure about the reason. Have you tried another monitor to see it also beep? It might due to the software of the monitor sending a warning when the signal if affected by the high frequency interference created by the torch when cutting.

      It’s not bad at all once you worked out the parameters for each thickness of sheet metal to cut. The mechanical thc also works fine and need less trial, but the stock will need to clamped tightly to the bed to avoid moving, it can also only work on fairly flat stock, not too much bending

    hi Minh, thank to your great video i achieved my plasma CNC up and running i bought same THC than yours and downloaded your files and my machine is cutting, but i have a couple of troubles maybe you could help me to solve, first is that sometimes plasma don't finish cuts randomly, (maybe reducing Feedrate) and the second and the most important is that i tried to cut over a warped sheet of metal 16 GA and i noticed that THC won't follow the waves of the sheet, the torch hits the metal sheet and just keeps cutting by dragging the tip over, i´m new at plasma cutting and i'll appreciate if you or someone could help me to solve this. Thanks in advance.

    • @minhsmancave9448
      @minhsmancave9448  2 года назад

      For the first problem I'm not sure. But for the 2nd one that the torch doesn't follow the warp, I think that the Thc didn't receive the auto signal from the controller board (for the Thc to work, you have to turn on the Thc in Mach3 by clicking on the Thc on button). If you hav done this and the same thing still happen, make sure that you tune the Thc the way I did by lifting one end of the metal and tune the sensitivity, speed, etc until the torch can follow the slope (better cut from higher end to lower end so the torch doesn't crash into the sheet metal)

      Nếu bạn chưa mua máy cắt plasma thì mình khuyên bạn nên mua loại máy blowback pilot arc, không nên mua loại HF (high frequency) pilot arc. HF pilot arc rất nhiễu. Nếu dùng HF thì nên mua mach3 board kết nối ethernet. Nếu dùng blowback thì loại board nào cũng được. Không nên mua board ethernet của Trung Quốc vì các loại này không hoàn toàn tương thích với mach3 và hay bị lỗi. Nếu bạn mua được blowback pilot arc thì bạn có thể mua usb mach3 board, loại màu đỏ (RnRmotion)
