Hypertherm is launching a modified HPRXD torch developed in cooperation with HGG Profiling Equipment B.V., a global manufacturer of 3D profiling machines with its headquarters in The Netherlands. HGG is a supplier of high-end pipe, box, beam and profile cutting equipment but its unique system design was not compatible with a standard-length HPRXD torch assembly.
Successful coupling of HGG equipment with Hypertherm's industry leading line of HyPerformance HPRXD systems required a joint development effort to create a shorter, non-quick disconnect torch assembly capable of proper beveling motion within the HGG 3D cutting chamber.
"In conjunction with HGG, this new, shorter, torch assembly will also open up opportunities for us in the 3D profiling segment that were previously not possible," said Hidde van Hoeven, Business Team leader for Hypertherm's Mechanized Plasma Systems Division. "HGG is recognized as one of the leading companies in this market and we are very pleased that we now have a solution that enables us to once again work commercially together."
Hypertherm is also working with other channel partners who find the shorter torch preferable for a variety of 3D cutting applications.
