New 800 amp HyPerformance plasma system

Hypertherm announced the availability of a new 800 amp HyPerformance plasma system for cutting thick stainless steel and aluminium. In addition to its ability to production pierce 3" (75mm) and sever 6 1/4" (160mm) thick metal, the system just as easily cuts thin metal-including gauge-without the need to switch torches. The new HyPerformance HPR800XD system's thick piercing capability is due to PowerPierce. This patent pending technology eliminates the need for pre-drilling and minimises damage to the torch by using a liquid cooled shield to repel molten metal during piercing and cutting. In testing, Hypertherm found there was no damage to its consumables or lessening of cut quality, even after piercing 3" (75mm) thick stainless steel 400 times. From 30 to 400 amps, operators can use HyPerformance plasma processes to mark, bevel, and cut mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. This versatility is extended up to 800 amps so operators can also cut thick stainless steel and aluminium with the same system. Until now, fabricators needing to cut a wide range of metals and thicknesses had to use two or more systems to complete the job.
