Hello community.
I wanted to see an alternative of a Hyprterm 45A plasma machine to a more economical one, obviously not Chinese and that can connect with my THCAD-10 table. Is it the only thing I need to build my plasma table?

Did you read the first few pages, there should be plenty of info on what you need.
The better question is, what you already have ?

If I started reading that, and the materials I have are:
Hwin 20mm linear rails and hwin skates.
7i96 Mesa.
Thcad - 10.
Infrared sensors.
Nema 23 motor.
Driver Tb6600.
18 tooth pulleys.
and 15mm wide belts.
Intel nuc i3 pc with linux 2.8.
24v power supply.
3mm thick metal structure 2.6mx1.5m.

I read that the plasma must be low frequency so as not to interfere, I see that most have hypertherm plasma but I am looking for something cheaper and that I can connect to my card.

Nice ! :)
You should use some reduction, it does work without it but not as smooth.
Plasma source can be any plasma that has pilot arc start, but non HF ones are easier to protect from EMI.
And yes the cheap ones will work, most of them not for long.

Added some more info about wiring and EMI, and changed the title a bit.
