ArcGlide THC

Overview

Traditional torch height controls require operators to periodically adjust arc voltage to ensure proper cut height. Using Hypertherm’s proprietary techniques, The ArcGlide THC continuously samples arc voltage and automatically adjusts arc voltage for proper torch height over the life of the consumables without requiring operator input.

The ArcGlide THC offers optimal cut quality, substantially improved productivity and reduced operating costs for plasma cutting applications.

Specific advantages include:

• Optimal consumable life and superior cut quality through arc voltage sampling and control
• Up to 100% improvement in parts cut per hour by minimizing cut-to-cut cycle time
• Installation using Hypernet, which simplifies operation and reduces installation time for single and multi-torch applications
• Extremely robust mechanics for high reliability, backed by a two year warranty
• True Hole® technology capable for HyPerformance® Plasma HPRXD® installations

Increase parts per hour

The ArcGlide THC maximizes productivity by minimizing cut-to-cut cycle time using Hypertherm’s Rapid Ignition™ technology.

This includes:

• Automated Initial Height Sense (IHS) crossover height calibration to minimize the time for the torch to find the plate without risking torch damage
• Rapid z-axis movement to an automatically set retract height (or the next pierce height*) to minimize torch retract time
• IHS is automatically skipped where possible based on part geometry and plate characteristics

Plasma gas pre-flow is automatically completed during table movement up to a 100% increase in parts per hour for the flange shown.

Example part - 203 mm flange (8")

Part processing time - 203 mm flange (8")

Number of parts - 203 mm flange (8")

Hypertherm dealer network

Hypertherm products are sold exclusively through our network of authorized partners. While different partners sell and service different products, in general, Hypertherm distributors sell the Powermax brand of air plasma products, as well as consumables for all types of Hypertherm systems; some distributors also sell automated products. Rental companies typically rent or lease Powermax air plasma products and may sell consumables for those systems. Table manufacturers / OEMs sell automated cutting products and consumables and typically offer service on what they sell. Systems integrators sell retrofits and upgrade products.
