ArcGlide THC with Hypernet Interface

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ArcGlide THC with Hypernet interface is designed to enhance plasma cutting applications by improving cut quality, productivity, and reducing operating costs. It leverages Hypertherm's extensive experience in the cutting industry to deliver superior performance without requiring operator input.
Key Advantages:
  • Optimal Consumable Life and Cut Quality: Utilizes arc voltage sampling and control to maintain proper torch height, enhancing consumable life and cut quality.
  • Increased Productivity: Rapid Part™ technology minimizes cut-to-cut cycle time, potentially doubling parts cut per hour.
  • Easy Installation and Operation: Hypernet communication simplifies setup and operation, reducing installation time and operator training requirements.
  • Robust Design: Features robust mechanics for high reliability, supported by a two-year warranty.
Performance Features:
  • Automatic Adjustments: Continuously samples and adjusts arc voltage to maintain proper torch height, optimizing consumable life and cut quality without operator intervention.
  • Enhanced Diagnostics: New diagnostic tools are available on the CNC for improved system monitoring.
  • Environmental Protection: Enclosed mechanics and pierce guard protect against dust and molten metal spatter.
Technical Specifications:
  • Regulatory Compliance: CE, CSA, GOST-R certified.
  • Operating Conditions: Temperature range from -10°C to +40°C, humidity up to 95% RH.
  • Dimensions and Weight: Various components have specific dimensions and weight, with a lifter stroke length of 241 mm.
  • Communication Protocol: Hypernet to CNC, with options for discrete wiring or Hypernet to the plasma system.
  • Power Requirements: 115V/230V for both HMI and control module at 50/60Hz.
Conclusion: The ArcGlide THC is a robust, efficient solution for plasma cutting, offering significant improvements in productivity and cut quality while reducing the need for operator intervention.
