*Note:Take care in comparison: competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts, as shown above. Cut speeds listed above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.

**ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The lower range (range 1 is the lowest), the smaller the angle on the cut face. Cut angle in range 4 is better than in 5.

Benefits


Superior Cut Quality & Consistency

Hyperformance Plasma cuts fine-feature parts with superior quality and consistency - eliminating cost of secondary operations


hpr260 cut life



  • Patented technologies such as HyDefinition and LongLife®, deliver more consistent cut quality over a longer period of time than other systems available on the market.
  • True Hole™ technology, for HyPerformance Plasma auto gas systems, produces hole quality that is significantly better than what has been previously achievable using plasma.*
  • HyPerformance Plasma cuts mild steel and stainless steel from thick to thin with a mirror-like finish.
  • Hypertherm consumables are manufactured with the highest quality standards to ensure consistent performance.


Unmatched Reliability

Hypertherm combines four decades of experience and world-class design, manufacturing and testing processes to build in reliability that you can trust.



HPR260 Cut Time



Reliable By Design
  • During development, Hypertherm systems endure rigorous reliability testing procedures that are equivalent to years of use in extreme operating environments.
  • Systems are subject to a wide range of temperatures, humidity levels, vibration, electrical noise, and incoming voltage to ensure that the final products are extremely robust.


Robust Manufacturing & Test Processes
  • Best-in-class lean manufacturing processes reduce the opportunity for error ensuring every Hypertherm system meets our high quality standards.
  • All Hypertherm systems go through extensive automated testing before they are shipped.
  • Hypertherm's manufacturing and test teams are dedicated to delivering the highest quality plasma products on the market.


Reliable Operation
  • Self-diagnostics run automatically at startup and continually while cutting to ensure that the system operates at peak performance


Maximized Productivity

HyPerformance Plasma combines fast cutting speeds, rapid process cycling, quick changeovers and high up time to maximize productivity.



  • HyPerformance Plasma delivers HyDefinition precision at unprecedented cutting speeds to deliver more parts per hour.
  • Rapid cut-to-cut and cut-to-mark cycle times result in less downtime between cuts.
  • Quick-disconnect torch, auto gas console option and intuitive user interface all reduce set-up time.
  • Long consumable life and high system reliability maximize productive "arc-on" time


Minimized Operating Costs

HyPerformance Plasma lowers your cost per part and improves profitability.



More Parts Per Hour
  • HyPerformance Plasma systems provide faster cut speeds to produce more parts per hour.
  • Hypertherm's PowerPierce® technology makes it possible to cut thicker than ever before and replace slower-cutting oxy fuel technology.
  • HyPerformance Plasma's superior quality and consistency maximize the number of parts produced per hour by minimizing time-consuming secondary operations


Longer consumable life
  • Patented LongLife and PowerPierce technologies significantly increase consumable life and reduce your cost per part.
  • Hypertherm consumables are manufactured with the highest quality standards to ensure consistently longer life.


Do More With Less Power
  • Patented consumable designs enable industry-leading cutting speeds and robust production piercing using lower amperage levels.
  • HyPerformance Plasma enables extremely high cutting speeds per amp with less cutting current than other plasma solutions on the market.
  • Hypertherm’s power supplies are designed to be extremely efficient in their use of electricity, enabling lower electrical expense and a reduced impact on the environment.
