HyPerformance XD upgrades

HyPerformance HPRXD upgrade in action

Overview

Upgrade your HyPerformance HPR400XD, HPR260 and HPR130 to the latest XD technology for superior cut quality and consistency, maximized productivity, minimized operating costs and unmatched reliability.

*When considering your upgrade options, please note that 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.

Hypertherm offers several upgrade options for existing HPR systems. Please contact your table manufacturer and Hypertherm sales representative for additional information.

Available Options

Option #1

For those customers who wish to take advantage of the following new enhancements:

  • PowerPierce technology for thicker piercing capability
  • New 80 amp mild steel bevel process
  • Internal Ohmic contact system
  • Improved reliability/robustness

This option is also for those Auto Gas system customers who wish to enable their HPR system for True Hole* technology.

Option #3

For those customers who have a Manual Gas system and wish to take advantage of either True Hole or the new argon marking. This upgrade is the same as Option #1 with additional requirements including a new Auto Gas Selection Console, Auto Gas Metering Console and new Gas Leads Assembly.
