Hypertherm XPR170

Description

is the latest system in the XPR^® plasma

Technical specification

The XPR170^® is the latest system in the XPR^® plasma product line. Delivering next generation X-Definition^® processes from very thin up to mid-range thicknesses, the XPR170 expands plasma capabilities and opportunities in ways never before possible.

With unmatched X-Definition cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum, XPR170 increases cut speed, dramatically improves productivity and slashes operating costs. New ease-of-use features and engineered system optimization make XPR easier to run with minimal operator intervention, while also ensuring optimal performance and unmatched reliability.
