For example, the base color of the data collected from the consumables of a torch, the aunt rol. height of mace ri mo 310 can automatically determine the alteration to position the torch in relation to the top of a workpiece, however, the α 11 u torch torch 3 ί G does not need to idealize the height to set an appropriate cutting height and perforation height before starting and control the arc tension. In some embodiments, based on the data collected from one or more signaling disks 202, the 2OS processor manipulates the motors and drives 3Ώ3 to move the torch 100 laterally: in relation to the workpiece surface.

In addition, the 5D0 thermal processing system includes a 131 cutting table.

The controller system 516 and the height controller 51.1 provide a relative movement between the penta da ^: torch 1G0 and the workpiece, while torch 100 directs the plasma arc along a processing path over the workpiece. In some embodiments, at least one receiver 204 is connected to a composite of the thermal processing system 500 to receive the signals emitted by at least one signaling device 202 associated with one or more torch consumables 10o. For example, a receiver 004 can be coupled to port 522 to read torch 100 signals after torch 100 is installed to system 100.
