Hypertherm XPR460

Description

Delivers the most consistent cut quality

Technical specification

The Hypertherm XPR460^® is part of the world’s most powerful and versatile family of mechanized plasma cutters for cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum over various thicknesses and imperfect surfaces. XPR460 pays you back with maximum versatility, productivity and precision. You can expect superior part-to-part consistency over consumable life from the first cut to the last. XPR460’s precision cutting produces parts with less dross and rework, reducing secondary operations.
