superior cut quality and consistency HyPerformance Plasma cuts fine-feature parts with superior

quality and consistency, virtually eliminating the cost of secondary operations.

• HyDefinitionandLongLife®, 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 on mild steel that is significantly better than what has been previously achievable using plasma.*

• Hypertherm leads the way in stainless steel cutting, with new HDitechnologyforthinstainless,optimizedgasmixingformid-range thicknesses and patented PowerPierce® technology combined with an innovative controlled pierce process for the thickest piercing and cutting capability available.

• Hyperthermconsumablesaremanufacturedwiththehighestquality standards to ensure consistent performance.

* True Hole technology requires a HyPerformance Plasma HPRXD auto gas system along with a True Hole enabled cutting table, nesting software, CNC, and torch height control. Consult with your table manufacturer for more details.

“When designing new systems, we test them until they break. Then we find the problem, fix it, and test them again, always under the most severe operating conditions – conditions far tougher than anything the product is likely to see in the real world. It’s a 24-hour-a-day operation and it’s an integral part of our product development process.”Mike Kornprobst, Senior Engineering Manager, Hypertherm
