HPR cartridge & XD technology upgrade
Build the latest XD technology into your HPR260® and HPR130® system
There are a number of upgrade options for existing HPR260 and HPR130 systems that let you take advantage of the latest Hypertherm innovations like HPR® cartridge and XD techologies, including PowerPierce®, True Hole®, and HDi® thin stainless steel technologies. In addition to gaining new cutting capabilities, you’ll get superior cut quality and consistency, higher productivity, lower operating costs, and enhanced reliability.
System information
Benefits
Customers who have upgraded reported these benefits:
-
Improved cut angularity – especially on holes
-

Simplify your cutting process with HPR cartridgeNew!
The Hypertherm HPR® cartridge represents a revolutionary change to traditional mechanized plasma consumables. Dramatically simplifying plasma cutting, the cartridge replaces five standard consumables, eliminating costly stack-up errors. Increase productivity with faster consumable changeover and reduced training time.
HPR cartridges are available for your highest volume cutting processes.
| Amp | Standard | Bevel |
| 260 | X | X |
| 130 | X | ♦ |
| 80 | X | ♦ |
X No cut setting changed needed.
♦ 80 A and 130 A cartridges produce cuts with a small angle difference (3° or less) from bevel consumables. These angle differences are acceptable for most production environments. For additional bevel information, refer to HPR cartridge instruction manual 810992.
Professional installation
The XD upgrade includes an on-site visit by a trained technical service engineer from an authorized Hypertherm partner who will install the upgrade, perform necessary maintenance, adjust settings and optimize your cutting process.
Option #1 (HPR260 and HPR130 systems)
This upgrade is available for HPR260 and HPR130 systems, and includes the following enhancements:
- PowerPierce technology for thicker piercing capability
- New HPR cartridge technology
- Internal Ohmic contact system
- Improved reliability and robustness
