Technology benefits Ease of use: Phoenix™ software Phoenix software is the core operational interface and is common across the entire Hypertherm family of CNC systems. The software is designed specifically for the X-Y and bevel cutting market and is available in fifteen languages for easy operation. Key benefits include: • Integrated communications to cutting tools and THC systems for automated and expert control of the cutting process • Built-in cut charts for automatically setting process parameters for mild steel, stainless, and aluminum to enable consistently optimized cutting...

Easy performance: Real-time monitoring Watch Windows™ enable on-screen, real-time monitoring of key process and performance information while cutting. Examples of variables that can be monitored include: • Estimated processing time for the part or nest • Machine motion commands and feedback for quality of motion detail • Status of system errors, inputs and outputs • Cutting parameters such as speed, arc voltage, kerf width, gas flows, etc. These windows are always visible and accessible during the cutting operation providing the operator the ability to monitor the machine performance at any...

Proven reliability and on‑board diagnostics maximize uptime During development Hypertherm systems endure rigorous reliability testing procedures that are equivalent to years of use in extreme operating environments. The equipment is subjected to a wide range of temperatures, humidity levels, vibration, electrical noise, dust and incoming voltage to ensure that the products are extremely robust. Hypertherm’s preventative maintenance and troubleshooting tips are available on the CNC for all of our equipment (CNC, THC, and cutting systems). This makes vital system information easily accessible...

World class manufacturing First time visitors to our US headquarters often comment on our manufacturing operations. Most can’t believe how clean and well-organized our production facility is, or how carefully we assemble and test our products to ensure every engineering specification is met. At Hypertherm though, it is simply what happens when you follow LEAN and Six-sigma methodologies as passionately as we do. A team of Six-sigma black and green belts continuously work to drive improvements across our organization: looking for ways to optimize our manufacturing process, make our products...
