We are pleased to announce the new XPR170 plasma cutting system is being unveiled today. This new 170-amp, 35.7kW system joins the XPR300 as the only two X-Definition® capable systems in the world.
Like the XPR300® the new XPR170® contains numerous new processes like Vented Water Injection™ (VWI), plasma dampening, and vent-to-shield technologies for squarer cut edges, markedly less angularity, and excellent surface finish on non-ferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel. XPR170 is ideally suited for cutting thin to mid-range thickness metals. At the same time, the system cuts faster and uses power more efficiently than earlier Hypertherm systems like the HyPerformance® HPR130XD®.
Consumable life and cut quality over the life of the consumables get a dramatic boost from advances such as Cool nozzle™ and Arc response technology™. The latter protects consumables from the negative impact of ramp down errors, a regular occurrence in real-life cutting. In doing so, XPR consumables can last up to last three times longer than competitive, older generation systems.
Further details on the XPR170 can be found online and through downloading the full product brochure here. Starting on the official launch date of October 23, we will be heavily promoting the XPR170 through both online and offline advertising and media.
The XPR170 has impressive power and cutting performance, along with an array of new features not available on any other system in the market. The XPR170 will be priced somewhat higher than the product it will replace, the HPR130XD. Pricing information is available on the Xnet
