Hypertherm offers X-Definition-class plasma, HyPrecision Predictive waterjet pumps
- October 30, 2018
- Product Release
- Plasma Cutting
Hypertherm has introduced two new systems: the XPR170 X-Definition™-capable plasma system and HyPrecision Predictive waterjet pumps.
The plasma system is designed for cutting thin to medium-thick metals. According to the company, the cut quality advances are notable on nonferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel because of numerous patent-pending processes that create squarer cut edges, less angularity, and excellent surface finish. The system also cuts faster and uses power more efficiently than earlier-generation systems, the manufacturer states.
The waterjet pumps are equipped with technologies that adjust for pressure and temperature, oil viscosity, and hydraulic system wear parts, along with technology that enables customers to use seals up to 40 percent longer. Features such as a color-coded junction box, electrical cable harnesses, quick-disconnect fittings, and an easy-access bleed-down valve help make maintenance faster and less expensive, the company reports.
