To cut 6" all that it required is the correct tip to be installed. You do
not speed up and slow down. In fact, steel to 24" can be cut with a torch.
Rutex has a torch height control for an oxy acet setup. It looks as if it
uses a proximity to sense cutting height.

If you are torch cutting, you do it all in one pass. for that I
think you might need some manual control like a pot to adjust the
feed rate so as you monitor the cutting, you can speed up or slow
down the feed rates.

And for that, I'm not sure what software can accept an external
sensor.
