OverviewThe HyPerformance® HPR400XD® plasma system is a 400-amp rated mechanized plasma system designed for maximum performance and productivity in X-Y, bevel, and robotic cutting operations. The system combines fast cutting speeds, rapid process cycling, quick changeovers and high reliability, delivering advanced HyPerformance mild steel cutting, aluminum capability and high-quality stainless steel cutting.
Benefits- Superior cut quality and consistency
- HyPerformance plasma cuts fine-feature parts with superior quality and consistency
- HyDefinition® technology aligns and focuses the plasma arc for more powerful precision cutting up to 80 mm (3.2")
- HDi™ technology delivers HyDefinition cut quality on thin stainless steel with sharp top edge quality, shiny surface finish, and improved angularity
- True Hole™ technology (auto gas systems only) produces improved hole quality compared with prior plasma capabilities
- Minimized operating cost
- LongLife® technology increases consumable life and enables consistent HyDefinition cut quality
- Faster cut speeds increase parts per hour and reduce secondary operations
- PowerPierce® technology enables piercing thicker materials and can replace slower oxyfuel piercing for some applications
- Versatility
- Cuts, bevels, and marks carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and other metals
- Modular design allows power supply upgrades to increase capabilities
- Industry-leading reliability
- Robust, simple system architecture with fewer parts than many competitive systems
- High manufacturing and testing standards for quality and reliability
Key features and consumable approachThe HPR cartridge (single-piece cartridge) simplifies consumables by replacing multiple traditional parts with one cartridge for faster change-outs and simplified ordering. Cartridge kits and starter kits are available for different amperages and material types.
