Hypertherm’s True Hole technology extended

Hypertherm, a manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems, has expanded its patented True Hole technology to include more thickness, amperage and consumable options

Hypertherm's patented True Hole technology is said to boost the capability of HyDefinition plasma to cut bolt-ready holes, offering up to 50% improvement in the shape of the hole.

For the first time, customers can use the True Hole process to cut 8 mm mild steel at 80 A, in addition to the existing 130 A power level. Though cutting at 80 A is slower, this speed could benefit customers that have tables having lower acceleration. In addition, customers can now use the 200 A bevel process to cut 10, 12 and 16 mm mild steel. Previously, 200 A True Hole cutting required the use of standard HyPerformance HPRXD consumables, rather than bevel consumables.
