Introduction
Hypertherm’s HT200 is designed as a dual gas, machine-mounted plasma cutting system for production cutting up
to 1" (25 mm) thick. Maximum cutting capacity without piercing is 2" (50 mm). A micro-controller on the power
supply control board helps to provide extended life for the torch consumable parts. To achieve consumable long
life, all cuts must begin and end on the plate surface; this allows for the proper control of gases and DC current
to extend the life of the torch nozzle and electrode.
The system provides the user with capability of locating the power supply a maximum distance of 200 feet from the
torch. This is accomplished by adding a remote high frequency (RHF) console.
The provides continuously variable current output from 40 to 200 amps for optimum performance on all thicknesses
of metal. This allows the operator wide variations in cutting speeds on the same thickness of metal. Three nozzle
sizes are provided to produce high-quality cuts throughout its range of cut thicknesses.
The HT2000 can be configured for air, oxygen, nitrogen or argon/hydrogen cutting. For cutting stainless steel,
aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials, nitrogen or argon/hydrogen can be used as the plasma gas
(Hypertherm recommends a mixture of 35% hydrogen and 65% argon). When cutting mild (carbon) steel, oxygen
can be used as the plasma gas. Shield gases other than air which can be used are nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
