Edge Connect is latest CNC generation from Hypertherm

Hypertherm’s new generation of CNCs, named Edge Connect. Enhancements, include the newest version of Hypertherm’s Phoenix software with the company’s CutPro Wizard for fast and easy job set-up; and, for the first time ever, an introductory version of ProNest CNC nesting software. This added software will allow table operators to create a part program directly from the CNC.

For example, when the offline ProNest software programmer is not available, an operator could accommodate an urgent job using an available part file or quickly select a standard shape.

Hardware upgrades include a 19-in touch-screen, a quad core processor, solid-state disk drive, and EtherCat connectivity. On average, Edge Connect CNCs are more than 65% lighter and thinner, and use 70% less electricity than Hypertherm’s Edge Pro line of CNCs. Customers can choose from among three Edge Connects including a mini CNC and fully featured CNC.
