Plasma arc metal cutting specialist, Hypertherm, has combined its newest HyPerformance technology with ART's machine motion control systems and new software to take plasma cutting to a new level.

"The patent-pending hole cutting technology vastly improves the capability of HyDefinition plasma resulting in a quality that competes, at a fraction of the cost, with processes that were previously more accurate, such as drilling and laser," according to a statement from Hypertherm.

The technology, called True Hole, uses a specific combination of cutting parameters optimised for mild steel applications. The end result shows an up to 50 percent improvement in the shape of the hole, claims the company.

At the same time, taper and dings are virtually eliminated on holes with an equal diameter to thickness ratio.

Australian manufacturer of CNC routers and plasma cutters, Advanced Robotic Technology (ART), has integrated this revolutionary technology into their high definition CNC plasma profile cutting tables, coupled with Hypertherm's High-performance Plasma HPR130XD and HPR 260XD.

"ART's precision, high definition (HDP) CNC plasma profile cutting tables are specifically designed for heavy-duty manufacturing environments where power, precision, speed, quality, low cost, reliability and durability are demanded by business owners," says the company.
