TTCPS-001 TTCP Sensor Technology

from Tipman Corporation

Torch misalignment creates weld defects that require expensive rework, while manual alignment checks slow down production and rely on operator judgment. Tipman Corporation's TTCPS-001 TTCP Sensor quantifies torch alignment automatically, giving you actual measurements instead of guesswork.



Our Kentucky facility started building arc welding equipment in 2003, bringing Japanese precision measurement technology to North American shops. We build equipment that catches problems before they become expensive mistakes, not after parts are welded incorrectly.

The two base alignment points should be registered to the controller.

To reduce the chances of sensor errors, blow air gently onto the TTCP sensor to keep it clean and remove dust.

Two sensors scan the X:Y:Z axis of the torch to measure torch misalignment.

See scanned values on the controller display. An error message will occur if the scanned alignment values are greater than the set base alignment points. The error message can be found on the compatible device of your choosing, including warning lights, buzzers, robot controllers, and other devices.

The scanned alignment values are stored in the on-board memory. Press the “History Button” to see a history of scanned values.

Utilize the TTCP Sensor as an attachment to other Tipman products or as a standalone piece of equipment.

Common TTCP Sensor Questions

  • Q: What power does the TTCP sensor need?

    A: The TTCPS-001 runs on 24VDC at 0.2 amps. Low power consumption means it can run continuously without heating issues.


  • Q: How does the sensor store scan history?

    A: Every scan is automatically saved in the onboard memory. Press the "History" button on the controller to review previous alignment measurements.


  • Q: What happens when alignment exceeds limits?

    A: The TTCP Sensor sends error signals to whatever devices you connect—warning lights, buzzers, robot controllers, or quality management systems.


  • Q: Can the sensor work with our existing equipment?

    A: Yes, if your robot can position the torch properly. The sensor outputs standard signals that connect to most industrial control systems.
