HYPERTHERM PLASMA SPECIFICATIONS

CUSTOMER PROVIDED PLASMA SYSTEMS
Piranha can integrate existing air plasma systems up to 125A. The customer must provide details and specifications on the existing air plasma system for review before Piranha can approve the integration. There will be a minimum charge of $1,000 for systems not supplied by Piranha. Charges for additional components, cables, and shipping may be required after review. Piranha will not provide any warranty on the existing system and will not guarantee the cut quality.

PLASMA CUTTING SPEEDS
Plasma cutting speed cannot exceed the maximum cutting speed of 600 IPM (15240 mm/min). Recommended cutting speeds in the Hypertherm Powermax cut charts will be limited to a maximum of 600 IPM.

Hypertherm SmartSYNC Plasma Torches (STANDARD on 65, 85, and 105A systems)

SmartSYNC torches feature RFID capability that when coupled with a Hypertherm cartridge will communicate with a Powermax SYNC system to automatically set the amperage and process on the power supply.

The Hypertherm cartridge consumable platform is a revolutionary change to standard air plasma consumables. Each single-piece cartridge is optimized by process and amperage to ensure performance while dramatically simplifying the parts needed to cut or gouge with plasma.

Hypertherm cartridges for Powermax systems are manufactured to uphold our high standards for quality and reliability. As part of the manufacturing process, we test-fire each cartridge to ensure proper assembly and function. As a result, there may be burn marks on the tip of the cartridge. This is normal and not a sign of damage.

Powermas65, Powermax85, and Powermax105 plasma systems come with SmartSYNC torches as standard equipment.

Powermax45XP and Powermax125 plasma systems are not available with SmartSYNC torches.

MyPlasm CNC Software (INCLUDED)

MyPlasm CNC software includes everything needed to control the machine and the automated torch height control. The software can be installed on a laptop you provide or can be pre-installed if the Piranha provided laptop is purchased. It includes a DXF import function so you can quickly and easily pull in and cut parts utilizing a clean line connected DXF (or similar supported file type). Cut parameters can be set and saved within this windows-based program. MyPlasm software is simple to learn and to operate. With a minimum level of knowledge, operators can learn that with a few clicks they can cut a part directly from the DXF. They can also draw simple shapes in the MyMini CAD module, included for free.

MyPlasm is windows based software that allows operators to quickly cut parts without the need to learn coding or complex control settings. You can simulate cut paths to help position your material correctly on the table prior to cutting and resume cut paths easily. Torch homing , cut parameters, torch height, and lead in – lead out settings are all easily accessed from the home screen.

ProNest® LT Smart Start (OPTIONAL)

ProNest® CAD/CAM software is available for purchase if 2D CAD drawing and additional nesting capabilities are needed.

Hypertherm ProNest® LT Smart Start is a powerful CAD/CAM nesting software designed for light industrial, mechanized cutting in production environments. It provides a single software solution for all your conventional plasma cutting machines. ProNest® LT Smart Start helps fabricators and manufacturers increase material savings, boost productivity, reduce operating costs, and improve part quality by offering the right level of cutting expertise for your needs. It also supports Hypertherm SureCut™ technology, including easy setup, optimized process parameters, and easy trouble shooting. In addition, ProNestLT® Smart Start is backed by Hypertherm’s global network of professionals, meaning you’ll always have access to the service and support you need.

ProNest® Essentials (OPTIONAL)

Includes:
Automatic Nesting – nest with the click of a button. Choose a preferred nesting strategy to control the balance between nesting speed and material utilization or select “IntelliChoice” and ProNest will determine a strategy and nest. Parts are nested for maximum cutting efficiency and material utilization, without any operator intervention required.

ProNest® Unlimited (OPTIONAL)

Includes:
Automatic Nesting – nest with the click of a button. Choose a preferred nesting strategy to control the balance between nesting speed and material utilization or select “IntelliChoice” and ProNest will determine a strategy and nest. Parts are nested for maximum cutting efficiency and material utilization, without any operator intervention required.

Common Line Cutting – share the common edges of adjacent parts. This feature can be applied automatically to similar parts or manually for dissimilar part profiles. Kerf compensation is applied automatically. Fewer pierces and reduced cutting distance will maximize productivity and consumable life. It also can save material by eliminating the separation between parts that otherwise becomes scrap.

Chain and Bridge Cutting – link multiple part profiles into one continuous cut. The chain can be created manually, after parts have been nested, or automatically as an array of parts. Use Bridge Cutting to create a thin web of material between parts, which helps prevent tip‑ups on small parts. This forms a single exterior profile, which can stabilize parts during separation from the plate, making them less prone to the effects of thermal movement. Both techniques result in fewer pierces and greater consumable life.

Skeleton Cut-Up – makes dedicated cuts to a sheet, making it easier to remove skeleton material from the table. Skeleton cuts are added automatically; and can be edited to meet your needs. Skeleton lines may be cut before or after the parts are cut.

Design2Fab® Sheet Metal Layout Software (OPTIONAL)

Design2Fab sheet metal layout software makes it easy to create HVAC duct, mechanical, kitchen, industrial, roofing, and other specialty fitting layouts. Engineered to dramatically reduce the time it takes to develop and lay out flat patterns, Design2Fab provides sheet metal fabricators, HVAC shops, and MEP contractors with the ability to create complex custom fitting layouts in minutes, rather than hours. Design2Fab also helps ensure perfect fit-up when installing parts in the field, contributing to increased productivity and lower operating costs to accomplish more, while increasing profitability.

Starting with the parametric fittings library, you will have access to a complete range of templates including all core shapes and sizes which can be customized to virtually any design. You can apply SMACNA or DIN based shop standards to any fitting in the job, including pressure class, metal gauge, seam styles, joints, stiffeners, wrap, acoustic liner, and sealant. Once the design is complete, it can export patterns to DXF for automated cutting. You can also export patterns for manual cutting using HPGL print files, printed to a plotter, or laid out manually using XY or triangulation points.
