System information
Benefits
In four short hours, give your HPR® plasma cutting system a Second Life.
Customers who have upgraded reported these benefits:
- Improved cut angularity – especially on holes
- Improved consumable life with the greatest improvement occurring when cutting 20 to 25 mm (3/4 to 1") mild steel at 260 amps.
- Increased piercing capability through PowerPierce technology
- Consistent cut quality over the life of consumables, including less spatter on the torch and shield and dross-free cutting
- The XD torch is more robust than the standard HPR torch
Professional installation
Your Second Life 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 80 amp mild steel bevel process
- Internal Ohmic contact system
- Improved reliability and robustness
- True Hole™ technology enablement*
Option #2 (HPR260 and HPR130 systems)
This upgrade for HPR260 and HPR130 systems includes all of the system enhancements of Option #1, plus:
- Improved argon marking process
- New HPRXD Auto Gas selection console
Option #3 (HPR260 and HPR130 systems)
This is the upgrade for HPR260 and HPR130 Manual Gas systems if you wish to enable True Hole technology or the new argon marking capability. It is the same as Option #1, with the following additional requirements:
- New Auto Gas Selection Console
