Hypertherm Inc. has announced the release of the HySpeed HT2000 200-amp oxygen plasma cutting system. Building on the original HT2000, this newly reconfigured mechanised system incorporates Hypertherm’s patented Coaxial-assist jet technology to boost cutting speeds on mild steel by as much as 50% over conventional designs. The HySpeed HT2000 features LongLife oxygen technology and SilverPlus™ electrode technology. LongLife delivers more precise control of cutting parameters to extend consumable parts life and reduce overall operating costs. SilverPlus electrode design features a silver-fused front end that effectively doubles electrode life in many applications compared with standard all-copper electrodes.
The HySpeed HT2000 is designed to cut most metals from 1 mm up to 50 mm thickness. HySpeed HT2000 and HySpeed HT2000LHF offer production piercing of 25mm mild steel and maximum piercing as thick as 38mm mild steel.
Hypertherm’s HySpeed HT2000 and HySpeed HT2000LHF (Local High Frequency) models are dual-gas systems that cut mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous materials with a full range of plasma gases and shield gases. Hypertherm’s patented shield technology protects the nozzle against double-arcing during cutting and piercing.
