Plasma cutting system XPR170®

for metalfor aluminumfor stainless steel

Overview
Delivering next generation X-Definition® processes from very thin up to mid-range thicknesses, the XPR170® expands plasma capabilities and opportunities. With unmatched X-Definition cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, XPR170 increases cut speed, dramatically improves productivity, and reduces operating costs. New ease-of-use features and engineered system optimization make XPR® easier to run with minimal operator intervention while ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
