Since its beginning in 1968, Hypertherm's unrelenting focus has been on plasma metal cutting technology. With a continuous stream of innovations to improve cut quality and service life, enhance productivity, and lower operating costs, Hypertherm products have set the standard in the plasma cutting market. The company has more than 1,000 associates along with operations and partner representation worldwide.

Hypertherm gives you the cutting edge

Hypertherm designs and manufactures the world's most advanced plasma cutting systems for use in a variety of industries. They have been proven to decrease the cost of metal cutting in the full range of applications - from hand-held cutting and fabricating to mechanized production and computer-controlled automated manufacturing.

Our design efforts are not only focused on creating systems that lead the world in cutting performance, but also on reducing components in our power supplies. The purpose of this, of course, is to increase reliability, for it is a design truism that fewer components directly correlates to increased reliability. The latest Hypertherm systems feature only 50% of the power supply components of those manufactured only a few years ago.

Another Hypertherm focus is to make cutting systems that are easier to use than ever before. In our manual systems, this means increased portability and new torch designs that increase operator access to angles and corners. In our mechanized systems, it translates into CNC control of gas flow parameters and simpler operator set up and control requirements.

Unmatched mechanized and manual cutting systems

Mechanized cutting systems
Hypertherm's family of mechanized plasma arc cutting systems covers the full spectrum of metal-cutting needs - from sheet metal less than 1 mm thick to stainless steel up to 150 mm thick. You can select from Hypertherm's conventional air plasma systems for thin material, mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum. These are ideal for such applications as heating, ventilating and air conditioning, pipe cutting and beveling and lower duty cycle plate cutting select a LongLife mechanized system that delivers tremendously long consumable life for heavy-duty production. Or, if you require tight-tolerance cutting, you can select from our family of industry leading HyPerformance HyDefinition plasma systems, a proven alternative to laser for many applications but at a fraction of the cost.

The new generation of HyPerformance plasma cutting systems, the HPR400XD, which is available since the beginning of 2009, adds faster cut speeds and increased thickness capabilities to HyDefinition cut quality at half the operating costs. The HPR400XD is the first 400 ampere HyPerformance system ever developed. It is equipped with patent-pending PowerPierce technology which allows metal as thick as 50 mm to be pierced and cut with high precision. A 30 to 400 ampere process range allows cutting and beveling up to 80 mm thick metal. The patented consumable design delivers consistent HyDefinition cut quality at faster speeds. Through patented LongLife technology the consumables last much longer while maintaining consistent cut quality. This significantly lowers overall operating costs. The system also features improved marking capability, using the same consumables as used for cutting.

Manual Cutting Systems
Our Powermax line of handheld systems are known for their ease-of-use, durability and safety for demanding work environments. The world's most versatile and portable plasma cutting and gouging system is the Powermax45®, which was launched in September 2008. This system has a maximum production capacity of 19 mm and severance capability up to 25 mm. The Powermax45® is a single-gas system (air or nitrogen) designed for both hand-held and mechanized applications. Users will benefit from the system's ease-of-use - it only weighs 15.8 kg! --, excellent cut quality, and long consumable life, which keep productivity high and operating costs low. Advanced inverter power supply design and high tolerance for input line variations makes the Powermax systems ideal tools for use in field applications, where easy mobility is essential.

Hypertherm systems are trusted for performance and reliability which results in increased productivity and profitability.

Most important of all

Trimming unnecessary operating costs helps fabricators improve their bottom line, and that is Hypertherm's goal. No company has more plasma cutting experience. No other company focuses exclusively on plasma cutting and no other systems can cut the cost of cutting metal better than Hypertherm.
