Hypertherm unveils new plasma cutting technology

Plasma, laser and waterjet cutting systems expert Hypertherm, has unveiled “an amazing new concept” for plasma cutting, with the technology on view at Schweissen & Schneiden 2017 (25-29 September; Hall 13, Stand B61).

Called X-Definition, it offers industry-leading cut quality and superior performance on all metals, because new technologies such as Vented Water Injection (VWI), plasma dampening, and Vent-to-Shield technologies are incorporated. The end result is squarer cut edges, markedly less angularity, and excellent surface finish on non-ferrous metals like aluminium and stainless steel.
