According to Hypertherm, the two-piece, quick-change design allows operators to change out consumables up to three times faster or, through the use of multiple torch heads, load consumables for the next job while cutting the current job.
In addition, operators can experience a lower overall operating cost. In field testing, Hypertherm cut quality and consumable life from the Centricut brand consumables were consistently equal to those of OEM consumables while costing 20 to 30% less.
The performance is due, in part, to Hypertherm's patented SilverLine electrode nozzle technology. SilverLine features a hybrid copper/silver weld joint that is said to deliver performance equal to a solid silver electrode for a fraction of the cost.
