Connection
How we hook it up
Connection through the CNC output (MR versions) or the torch control.
- 01
Clamp the ArcDroid to the table and plug in its power supply.
- 02
Connect the cutter's CNC output to the ArcDroid controller.
- 03
Fit your torch in the universal holder and tighten both clamps.
- 04
Run the guided calibration on screen: height probing, arc-start test, arc-voltage setting.
- 05
Trace or import your first part. Cut.
In practice
Cutting with a CEA on the ArcDroid
What the ArcDroid controls
On CEA units fitted with a CNC output, the ArcDroid fires the arc and reads the divided arc voltage: the torch height adjusts itself during the cut. On versions without a CNC output, it wires to the torch trigger and cuts at a fixed height after probing the sheet.
Starting settings
Set the amperage on the CEA for the thickness, as you would for hand cutting. Speed, pierce height and cut height are set on the ArcDroid's screen, with no computer. Our reference values by thickness and amperage are in the guide.

Three checks are enough: the exact model reference of your CEA, the start type (pilot arc or contact, never HF) and whether it has a CNC output or an accessible torch trigger. In doubt? Send us a photo of the rating plate.

CEA and ArcDroid
M or MR version?
Depending on the version, the automation interface is present or not; otherwise the connection is made on the torch control. Send us the exact model number, we confirm the wiring.
Does automatic torch height control work with a CEA?
Yes on versions fitted with a CNC output (divided arc voltage). On the others, the ArcDroid cuts at a fixed height after probing the sheet — perfect on a flat sheet.
Can I keep my CEA hand torch?
Yes. The hand torch mounts in the ArcDroid's universal holder with no modification: two clamps to tighten, and you have it back in your hand just as quickly for hand cutting.
Unsure about your version?
