Latest Edge Connect CNC now available from Hypertherm

Product Launches

Hypertherm, a manufacturer of plasma, laser and waterjet cutting systems, is now shipping a newly developed CNC platform called Edge Connect. It contains a number of enhancements for ease of use, reliability and customisable performance.

The latest features include:

  • The newest version of Hypertherm’s Phoenix software, coupled with SureCut technology
  • A software-based operator’s console and embedded PLC feature called PLC Connect that allows for greater customisation of a cutting machine with reduced costs
  • Enhanced CNC-based nesting for convenient operator programming with SureCut outcomes via ProNest CNC
  • Three newly developed hardware options that are said to improve performance, reduce weight and increase reliability

Cutting machine customisation is further enhanced by quick and easy set-up through an EtherCAT communication platform and bespoke software configuration that, through an online configurator, allows for the use of up to 12 axes.
