Same cut. Same quality. A whole lot less time. ⏱️
We put Hypertherm’s new HYSpeed® technology to the test with a side-by-side comparison.
Top — HYSpeed: 35.45 seconds
Bottom — Standard: 1:05.35
Every Powermax SYNC with a serial number 25,000 and up is equipped with HYSpeed technology.
HYSpeed increases cutting feedrates by up to 3–4×, with top cutting speeds for thin-gauge material reaching 1,400 IPM. It also reduces re-fire time, allowing the torch to fire again immediately after the previous cut instead of waiting through the standard 3-second air blowout.
But the plasma system isn’t doing it alone.
This is where the ArcLight table comes in.
Our servo motors + helical rack and pinion provide the acceleration and travel speed needed to keep up with those higher feedrates, while also reducing torch travel time between cuts.
FlashCut optimization lets you toggle between HYSpeed and standard cutting, reduce or eliminate touch-offs for certain features, and optimize retract height to further reduce time between cuts.
