Basic series HyPrecision waterjet pumps
Waterjet technology produces excellent fine-feature cut quality with low edge angularity, no heat-affected zone, a narrow kerf, and virtually dross-free cutting. It also offers the ability to process a variety of materials and a thickness range capability unmatched by other cutting technologies.
Incorporating proprietary Advanced Intensifier Technology (AIT), Hypertherm HyPrecision™ Waterjet Pumps are the hardest-working, most cost-effective waterjet pumps in the world. The Basic Series 15, 30, and 50 products are engineered to deliver long-life reliability and uncompromised safety for the lowest cost of ownership.

System information
Benefits
Trouble-free operation
- Advanced Intensifier Technology (AIT) extends maintenance intervals, reduces maintenance time and maximizes performance
- Sophisticated electronics provide smooth, reliable shifting for optimum cut quality and pump performance
- Powerful, intuitive software package gives operators all the information they need to maximize uptime
- Service-friendly design simplifies high-pressure end removal for quick seal maintenance
- Check valve utilizes a screwless, low-pressure poppet design that enables quick evaluation of key contact surfaces and allows faster routine servicing

Extreme reliability
- Built-in inlet water accumulator increases seal life by supplying constant water flow and pressure to the intensifier
- Stepped water filtration (1, .45 micron) improves water quality and extends seal life
- Innovative piston design minimizes seal wear and improves component life
Hassle-free hydraulic oil
- Protective coating inside the hydraulic tank prevents rusting
- Easy-access drain on the hydraulic tank makes oil changes quick and easy
- Kidney loop oil cooling and filtration provides higher hydraulic system efficiency
- Easy-access cover on the hydraulic tank makes for easy inspection and replacement of strainers (not available on 150D series)
Maximum energy efficiency
- Totally enclosed force cooled (TEFC) electrical motor
- Plate heat exchanger improves cooling efficiency
- Optional water modulating valve provides cooling water only when needed
