Technology that Delivers

Hypertherm-patented technology delivers more consistent cut quality for longer periods of time at half the operating cost.
HyDefinition technology Vented nozzle technology aligns and focuses the plasma arc. HyDefinition technology enables powerful precision cutting for superior quality and consistency.
LongLife technology Ramps electrical current and gas pressure up and down in a tightly controlled manner. To reduce electrode and nozzle erosion, LongLife technology delivers consistent HyDefinition cut quality over the longest period of time for a significant reduction in operating cost and downtime.
PowerPierce technology Liquid cooled shield technology repels molten metal during piercing. PowerPierce technology enables robust production pierce capability up to 50 mm (2") mild steel.
True Hole technology Hypertherm's patent pending True Hole** cutting technology for mild steel is a specific combination of cutting parameters that is optimized for each material thickness and hole size. True Hole technology virtually eliminates taper and dings on holes down to a 1:1 diameter to thickness ratio. True Hole technology produces up to a 50% improvement in mild steel hole cylindricity when compared to other plasma systems available on the market.

* Note: Take care in comparison: competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts, as shown above. Cut speeds listed above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.

** ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The lower the range (range 1 is the lowest), the smaller the angle on the cut face. Cut angle in range 4 is better than in range 5.

HPR400XD Consumables


HPR400XD Consumables
Superior cut quality and consistency Hyperformance Plasma cuts fine-feature parts with superior quality and consistency - eliminating cost of secondary operations.HPR400XD Cut Quality

Patented HyDefinition technology aligns and focuses the plasma arc for more powerful precision cutting up to 80 mm (3.2"). Patented system technologies deliver more consistent cut quality over a longer period of time than other systems available on the market. Hypertherm consumables are manufactured with the highest quality standards and latest patented technology to ensure consistent performance. HyPerformance Plasma cuts stainless steel from thin to thick with a mirror-like finish.
Maximized productivity HyPerformance Plasma combines fast cutting speeds, rapid process cycling, quick changeovers and high reliability to maximize productivity.
HyPerformance HPR400XD delivers HyDefinition precision at unprecedented speeds.
HyDefinition plasma cutting is 2-5 times fasterHPR400XD Comparison to Laser and Oxyfuel

Rapid cut-to-cut cycle time results in less downtime between cuts. Quick-disconnect torch and intuitive user interface reduce set-up time. Long consumable life and high system reliability maximize productive “arc-on” time. HyPerformance HPR400XD cuts, bevels, and marks a variety of metals, making it the one system that consistently does it all.
Minimized operating cost HyPerformance Plasma lowers operating cost and improves profitabilityMinimized operating cost

Patented LongLife technology significantly increases consumable life and enables consistent HyDefinition cut quality over the longest period of time. Hypertherm consumables are manufactured with the highest quality standards and latest patented technology to ensure consistently longer life. The combination of LongLife technology and high cut speeds enables Hypertherm systems to produce more cut parts per set of consumables, reducing your cost per part.

*True Hole technology requires a HyPerformance Plasma HPRXD auto gas system with True Hole enabled CNC, THC and nesting software.



Unmatched reliability Extensive testing, backed by more than four decades of experience, guarantees the Hypertherm quality you can count on. During development, the HyPerformance systems endure rigorous reliability testing procedures that are equivalent to over 10 years of use in extreme operating environments. Hypertherm's engineers leveraged decades of experience to produce a robust and simple system with 50% fewer parts than other systems on the market. Studies have shown that fewer parts directly results in greater reliability. Self-diagnostics run automatically at startup and continually while cutting to ensure that the system operates at peak performance.
