New quick disconnect torches from Hypertherm's Centricut brand are now available for Kaliburn Spirit and ProLine series plasma systems, providing owners of those products with an affordable alternative.
The Centricut torches leverage more than two decades of Hypertherm engineering work with two-piece torch technology. This technology makes it easier and faster to switch torches and change out consumables. Hypertherm engineers have also optimized gas and coolant flow so the Centricut torches perform better and more reliably.
In addition, the torches are manufactured with a specially designed coupler ring that improves an operator's grip on the torch, allowing for a better, tighter connection between the torch head and the base. Finally, the torches feature a dust seal to keep metal chips and other debris from collecting on the coupler threads.
"As the inventor of quick-disconnect torches, Hypertherm has really perfected the technology through the years," said Martin Geheran, product marketing manager for Hypertherm's Centricut brand. "We feel fortunate to share this technology with Kaliburn owners so they too have an affordable, and high performing option for their systems."

- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
