OverviewThe XPR300® represents the most significant advance in mechanized plasma cutting technology. This next generation system delivers unmatched X-Definition® cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum, increases cut speed, dramatically improves productivity and reduces operating costs. New ease-of-use features and engineered system optimization provide improved reliability and minimal operator intervention.
Benefits- Industry-leading X-Definition cut quality: Consistent ISO range 2 results on thin mild steel; extended ISO range 3 cut quality vs earlier plasma technology; superior stainless steel cut quality across all thickness ranges; superior results on aluminum using Vented Water Injection™ (VWI).
- Optimized productivity and reduced operating costs: Significantly reduced operating costs vs previous generation; increased cut speeds on thicker materials; dramatic improvement in consumable life for mild steel; thicker piercing capability than competitive systems; Extended Pilot Arc (EPA) eliminates manual edge-finding; XPR automated gouging reduces grinding and produces weld-ready parts faster.
- Engineered system optimization: Advanced power supply technology with rapid feedback and automatic interventions to protect consumables and improve efficiency; arc response technology™ provides torch and ramp-down error protection and enhanced diagnostics; increases consumable life up to 3× vs competitor systems and reduces damage from catastrophic electrode blowouts.
- Ease of use: Intuitive operation and automatic monitoring; full control of functions via CNC; system monitoring with specific troubleshooting codes; EasyConnect™ torch lead and one-hand torch-to-receptacle connection; QuickLock™ electrode for easy consumable replacement; web-interface access via Wi‑Fi and Ethernet; built-in IIoT via Ethernet LAN and MTConnect®; Manual Set-Mode for simple gouging and off-table beveling.
Advanced process control and deliveryFour console options (Core™, CorePlus™, Vented Water Injection™ (VWI™), OptiMix™) deliver progressively enhanced cutting capabilities for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum and can be fully controlled through the CNC.

Consumables and torchesWide range of XPR torch part numbers and lead lengths available; consumable stack-ups and nozzle/electrode options vary by amperage and process (mild steel, non-ferrous, gouging). Starter kits and consumable part-numbered kits are available for mild steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous applications.
Environmental and efficiency improvementsReduces consumable use, energy consumption and carbon footprint: examples include 64% less consumable copper per foot of cut, 99.5% recyclable system, and improved power-to-weight and cut-speed metrics.
