Plasma technology offers benefits
November 2009 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
 
Hypertherm's HPR130XD and HPR260XD feature Extreme HyDefinition (XD) technology.

Plasma technology offers benefitsChief benefit is more consistent cut quality for longer periods of time at half the operating cost.

Like the recently introduced HPR400XD, the two new HPRXD systems come with patent pending PowerPierce technology for industry-leading production piercing capability.

When compared to previous HPR130 and HPR260 systems, PowerPierce cuts metal up to 25 per cent thicker material, while maintaining cut speed, HyDefinition cut quality, and consumable life.

The new HPRXD systems also have argon capabilities to deliver improved marking, a new 80 amp mild steel bevel process, and Ohmic contact height sensing integrated into the torch.

Other benefits include the ability to cut better holes using Hypertherm's new True Hole technology.

When combined with MTC's ProNest 2010 and True Hole enabled motion controls like the EDGE Pro CNC and ArcGlide THC, the HPRXD systems automatically produce hole quality that is significantly better than what has been previously achievable using plasma.
