CNC programming
With built in cutting expertise, Hypertherm’s Computer Numeric Control solutions provide consistent product performance with our easy to learn and use Phoenix® software so operators make the optimal cut, every time.
Robotic cutting
Robotic cutting systems support your most complex projects. Combined with robot programming, robotic plasma cutting dramatically improves efficiency by increasing cut speeds, cut quality, and production in low-volume runs — returning hundreds of hours to your business.
CAM programming
CAM software helps drive the manufacturing process. CAD/CAM nesting software is typically used for programming mechanized flat plate cutting, offering fabricators and manufacturers a single software solution for all of their profile cutting needs. This combination solution provides all of the necessary functionality to complete the job, from CAD concept, to part preparation, to nesting, to numeric code output.
Bevel cutting
Bevel cutting is cutting a part with an edge not perpendicular to the top of the piece. It is typically used to prepare plates or pipes for welding. Bevels can be cut at different angles and configurations, resulting in varying edge profiles.
Hole cutting
Many fabrication processes require cutting holes to bolt two or more pieces or parts together, so hole production is an important part of most cutting operations. Multiple holes can be cut into a large plate, pipe, or drum with plasma.
Marking
Marking metal to indicate bend or score lines, inventory numbers, or reference points for drilling or robotic processes is traditionally done with a hammer and punch, powder or ink, soapstone, or handheld engraving machines. Using plasma for marking during CNC processes offers many significant advantages.
