This system is easy to install and use and is more reliable than any other CNC. As a modular device, the EDGE Pro supports flame cutting in addition to its application on conventional plasma cutting systems. It is a single solution for a variety of cutting application needs.
When the Hypertherm EDGE PRO goes on the market, it will be the most complete CNC controller on the market. It is characterized by advances in hardware and software that are not available on other devices in the market. In the entire solution, the EDGE PRO provides analog and SERCOS motion control connections. It includes a touch screen display and an integrated operator panel. This system has been designed to withstand thousands of hours of reliability testing under harsh conditions. Regardless of the application, it ensures that it operates in a harsh cutting bed environment. The EDGE PRO also comes pre-loaded with Hypertherm's innovative Phoenix® software, including the patent-pending CutProTM wizard and built-in optimized cutting wizard to simplify the learning and operation of the entire cutting system.
Peter Brahan, Head of Hypertherm Automation, said: “The EDGE PRO is simple to use, reliable and provides a complete CNC system solution for professionals. In addition, its flexible software is suitable for a wide range of cutting applications – from basic cutting to the most complex jobs."
Hypertherm HyPerformance with the fastest cutting speed and highest power in the industry
High-performance plasma systems are available in Asia Singapore (February 5, 2009) — Hypertherm, the world leader in plasma metal cutting technology, is the fastest and most powerful HyPerformance high-performance plasma HPR400XD system in Asia. The plasma system is considered to be a more efficient metal cutting system than the flame cutting in mature markets in Europe and the Americas, with faster cutting speeds and longer cutting times at half the operating cost, resulting in a higher return on investment.
The HPR400XD is not only powerful but also has a fast cutting speed. The Hypertherm HPR260, which has a faster cutting speed, is 30% faster. For heavy industry and shipbuilding applications, the HPR400XD perforated metal is 60% thicker than HPR260 and 25% thicker than any other amperage system. In addition, the patented PowerPierceTM superior perforated protective cap technology gives the HPR400XD the industry's leading production perforation capability to replace other identical and higher amperage systems. This will maximize your production and increase your profitability.
Hypertherm Asia Director Soo Kam Tatt said: "We guarantee that companies using Hypertherm plasma cutting systems can achieve better performance, higher productivity and efficiency. The HPR400XD combines the patented LongLife® long-life technology for longer Excellent cutting quality and low operating costs are achieved. In terms of market conditions, an economical pioneering system like the HPR400XD will benefit Asian manufacturers."
The HPR400XD is the Hypertherm's most versatile system, with a current setting range of 30 to 400 amps for HyDefinition high-precision cutting of materials from 0.5mm to 80mm thick. It also offers unparalleled process flexibility with a maximum cutting and bevel cutting angle of up to 45° (up to 80mm). It is also possible to use the same consumables for scribing and cutting, which increases its convenience. The flexibility of this all-in-one device will greatly reduce the cost of your investment in the HPR400XD system.
The high quality of the plasma system is reflected in several new features, such as improved supply current accuracy, argon technology to improve scribing, and integration of the resistor and torch body for initial height positioning. For companies looking for low operating costs without compromising cutting quality, these superior features make the HPR400XD an economical choice.
The world's smallest and most portable Hypertherm
Plasma system with a half inch thickness cut in Asia Singapore (February 5, 2009) — Hypertherm, the world leader in plasma metal cutting technology, markets the company's advanced Powermax45® plasma cutting and gouging system in Asia. The small and lightweight Powermax45 (17kg only) is designed for handheld and machine cutting, offering unmatched portability, productivity and reliability at low operating costs.
A single gas system (air or nitrogen) cuts materials up to 19 mm thick and has a cutting capacity of 25 mm. It is suitable for cutting and gouging metals in a variety of industries, such as HVAC pipe cutting, truck and trailer manufacturing, and maintenance of all types of equipment, including manufacturing and agriculture.
Compared to conventional cutting systems such as flame cutting, the Powermax45 cuts up to 3 times faster and delivers superior cutting quality and higher throughput at low operating costs. Unlike flame cutting, plasma systems do not require flammable gas to be adjusted, making them safer and more convenient to use. It also does not require preheating, which increases the effective cutting time.
Powermax45 is not only low cost but also highly productive. Its high power/low weight ratio and Conical FlowTM technology deliver up to 50% duty cycle, fast cutting and high-quality cutting without slag. This limits rework to a minimum or does not require secondary processing. This system features the PowercoolTM heat treatment system to more efficiently cool internal components for greater reliability.
This system is versatile and easy to use in a variety of applications and environments. Combined with Boost ConditionerTM, which compensates for input voltage fluctuations (200 to 240V), Powermax45 improves the performance of low voltage lines, motor generators, and input power (fluctuations). Patented drag and drop technology, CNC interface and FastConnectTM torch connection simplify conversion between handheld and machine operation. This makes it easy to use even for first-time operators.
Hypertherm Asia Director Soo Kam Tatt said: "The global demand for manufactured products in Asia has made Asian industries more dependent on high-power and high-efficiency cutting systems. The Powermax 45 is not only easy to carry, but also productive, and its long-life consumables are reduced. Operating costs enable reliable metal cutting."
