The consumables contain several patent-pending technologies to improve life and cut quality. Examples include Cool nozzle and Arc Response Technology, the latter of which protects consumables from the negative impact of ramp-down errors, a regular occurrence in real-life cutting. By reducing the impact of ramp-down errors, XPR consumables can last up to three times longer than those on older generation systems.
In addition, XPR consumables are designed with ease-of-use in mind. An EasyConnect feature allows operators to quickly plug the torch lead into the torch connect console without the use of tools, while a patent pending QuickLock electrode delivers easy quarter-turn tightening to further reduce set-up time. Another newly added design feature is a quick-change torch that enables operators to rapidly change torches with just one hand.
“Whether you are cutting mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium, these new starter kits will make it easy for XPR customers to get all of the consumables they need in one convenient bundle,” says Martin Geheran, product manager for plasma torches and consumables. “We think customers will also enjoy the convenience of the kits that come with a torch as it will give them the option of having a second torch, or even multiple torches, pre-loaded with consumables for even faster change-outs.”
