Original Press Release:
Hypertherm Introduces HyPerformance(TM) Plasma - the Next Generation of Plasma
Hanover, NH, USA - Hypertherm, Inc. has announced the release of its ground breaking HyPerformance Plasma metal cutting system. HyPerformance is unique in combining three proven Hypertherm solutions in one robust mechanized system. It will allow metal fabricators to get the very best cut quality at the lowest cost-per-foot-of-cut in the world.
New HyPerformance Plasma is a mechanized metal cutting system that delivers incomparable HyDefinition® cut quality at half the operating costs. By incorporating Hypertherm's proven HyDefinition, HySpeed® and LongLife® technologies, HyPerformance Plasma boosts overall performance, productivity and profitability. It provides HyDefinition's virtually dross-free cut quality but does it with greater speed and up to two times longer consumable life. Its exceptional cut quality is consistent across a full range of plate thickness.
"With HyPerformance Plasma, fabricators achieve the lowest cost-per-foot of any precision plasma cutting solution on the market today," says Peter Officer, Marketing Manager for Hypertherm Mechanized Systems.
"HyPerformance Plasma cut speeds are almost 25% greater on 1/2″ (12 mm) metal than with any other comparable precision solution" Officer said. "Cut speeds consistently approach those of more expensive 200-amp systems."
HyPerformance Plasma provides maximum flexibility with up to 38 mm mild steel edge-start cutting. Production pierce capability is 16 mm with a maximum pierce of 25 mm. In addition, marking and cutting are performed with the same consumables.
Unparalleled reliability gives HyPerformance Plasma systems higher "up time" and lower overall maintenance costs. Before release, HyPerformance Plasma systems were subjected to thousands of hours of reliability testing in Hypertherm's own laboratories as well as in independent labs. They achieve a 100% duty cycle in operating environments from - 10° to 40°C with 95% humidity.
The system's simple and straightforward design incorporates fewer parts and an easy-to-use interface. HyPerformance Plasma systems have CSA, NRTL/C, CCC and CE and ISO 9001:2000 certification. Hypertherm is also ISO 9001:2000 certified. Hypertherm's full system warranty includes complete coverage for two years on all system components and one year on the torch.
Hypertherm plans to feature HyPerformance Plasma in their booth at two upcoming tradeshows: FABTECH in Chicago, Illinois from November 16th-19th and Beijing Essen in Shanghai, China from November 26th-29th.
Since 1968, Hypertherm has been the industry leader in plasma arc cutting equipment and service. With its recent entry into the plate-laser cutting market, Hypertherm expands its technology leadership commitment. By continually delivering breakthrough advances in metal-cutting productivity and precision - first in plasma, now also in laser - Hypertherm reaffirms and extends its position as the world's leading supplier of advanced high-temperature metal cutting technology. Hypertherm serves a wide range of industrial metal cutting needs from its headquarters in Hanover, New Hampshire, with subsidiaries, sales offices and partner representation worldwide.
