Hypertherm Associates unveils XPR460 plasma cutting system

Hypertherm Associates (Hanover, NH), a leading manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, announces the release of the Hypertherm XPR460 plasma cutting system. Positioned as the newest addition to the XPR line with X-Definition ® technology, this advanced plasma system pays you back with maximum versatility, productivity, and precision.

The XPR460 pays you back by providing these key business benefits:

Versatility

• Cuts mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum
• Performs multiple applications with SureCut technology for bolt-ready holes and smooth 45-degree bevels
• Designed to include XY and robotic cutting applications

Productivity

• Cutting speed increased by an average of 12% through 50 mm (2 in) mild steel
• Piercing up to 64 mm (2.5 in) mild steel
• Future-enabled for Smart Factory integration and connectivity
• Increase of 12% in consumable life versus HPR400XD

Precision

• Highest cut quality available for thicker metal, providing cleaner, sharper, and more consistent edge quality
• Excellent part-to-part consistency over the life of the consumable, ensuring quality from the first cut to the last

SureCut technology automatically embeds advanced cutting capabilities. The system can maintain cut quality on 45-degree bevels and ensure uniform hole aesthetics throughout.

With Arc Response Technology, ramp-down error protection significantly increases realized consumable life, and torch protection reduces the impact of catastrophic electrode blowouts, which can damage the torch at high current levels.

The XPR460 features Argon-assist technology for effortless extended piercing capability and edge-starting on thick mild steel and stainless steel. Additionally, its advanced process control mechanisms prioritize plate protection and consumable efficiency.

The XPR460 offers four gas-connect options, and each console is integrated with the CNC interface. CorePlus, VWI, and OptiMix gas-connect consoles enable improved marking applications.
