OVERVIEW

Double Your Cutting Output with Precision Control

Maximize the potential of your plasma cutting table with the Thermal Dynamics iCNC Performance E. This powerful controller is designed to make automated cutting easier, faster, and more profitable. The standout feature of the 15-7002 model is its built-in ability to control two torches at once. If you are running a gantry with dual heads, this controller manages the height of both torches independently, ensuring that even if your plate is slightly warped, both torches maintain the perfect distance for a clean, dross-free cut.

Gone are the days of guessing the right settings or flipping through manual pages. The iCNC Performance comes with a "brain" full of expert knowledge—the Thermal Dynamics process database. You simply tell the screen what you are cutting (e.g., 1/2 inch mild steel), and the controller sets the speed and height for you. This feature is a game-changer for shops that cut a variety of materials, as it drastically reduces setup time and eliminates costly operator errors. The interface is designed with the welder and operator in mind: big buttons, clear graphics, and a logical flow that doesn't require a degree in computer science to operate.

Reliability is key in any job shop or manufacturing plant. This unit is built tough to withstand the sparks, dust, and electrical noise of a metalworking environment. It uses modern digital connections (EtherCAT) to talk to your machine, which means fewer cables to break and faster response times when changing directions or piercing plate. This results in smoother curves and sharper corners on your parts.

Whether you are upgrading an old, tired controller on a faithful machine or outfitting a new system, the iCNC Performance E gives you big-shop capabilities in a compact, easy-to-use package. It supports standard nesting software, so you can import your drawings and get to cutting immediately. Invest in control that pays you back with speed and quality.

FAQ

It stands for '2 Torch Height Controls', meaning this controller is equipped to manage the height of two separate cutting torches simultaneously.

While it is optimized for Thermal Dynamics Ultra-Cut and Auto-Cut systems, it can often be configured to control other brands of plasma power sources depending on the drive system and I/O configuration.

The unit typically includes basic shape libraries and manual nesting capabilities on-board. For complex nesting, files are usually imported from offline software like ProNest or SigmaNest.

The iCNC Performance series generally runs on a Windows Embedded platform, providing a familiar interface and network connectivity.

Yes, the iCNC Performance is a popular choice for retrofits, breathing new life into older gantries by replacing obsolete analog controllers with modern digital control.

It automatically loads the correct cut speeds, pierce heights, and gas pressures based on the material you select, ensuring high-quality cuts without manual guesswork.

Yes, the iCNC Performance utilizes EtherCAT for high-speed, real-time communication with drives and I/O modules.

Yes, the interface is designed for touch operation, making it easy to use on the shop floor even while wearing light gloves.
