Case Histories/White Papers and Research
Whitepaper:  How to Choose the Right Plasma Cutter
Company: Hypertherm Inc
There are a number of factors to consider when purchasing a plasma cutting tool. They include cut capacity, cut quality, reliability, duty cycle, ease of use, and operating cost. The first step is to figure out what type of plasma cutting you plan to do. Are you planning to cut by hand, or on a table? Some plasma cutting tools are capable of doing both, easily going from handheld to mechanized cutting and back again. A few systems include a CNC interface and internal voltage divider, providing even greater options for mechanized applications.

Whitepaper:  Successfully Piercing Thicker Plate with Plasma: New technology combines with old technique for piercing perfection
Company: Hypertherm Inc
The ability to pierce metal plate is a necessity for many fabricators and steel processing centers. Using plasma, rather than oxyfuel, is most desirable as it means faster piercing times, faster cut speeds, and a cleaner finished product. And speed, as we all know, translates into higher productivity and profitability. However, despite plasma’s many benefits, some companies find piercing thicker material—say anything over 1 ¼ inches—difficult with plasma. They aren’t alone. Several factors often left operators with a torch filled with melted consumables, or consumables covered in a quick layer of dross. Today, thanks to recent improvements in plasma torch and consumable design, the piercing capabilities of plasma are significantly better. This article will look at the factors that have traditionally impacted piercing as well as the technological advancements that are making plasma a worthy choice when it comes to piercing thicker material.
