The XPR plasma-cutting systems stand at the forefront of mechanized plasma-cutting technology, ushering in a new era of unparalleled advancements. With its groundbreaking X-Definition® cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, the XPR sets a new standard by elevating cut speed, significantly improving productivity, and reducing operating costs.

High-Performance Updates and Key Features

The XPR plasma cutting systems incorporate high-performance updates seen in the XPR170/300 systems, imbuing them with enhanced capabilities and efficiency. Including a coolant pump, coolant fine filter, and a larger heat exchanger tailored to accommodate a higher heat load (460A vs. 400A) underscores the system’s commitment to optimal performance and durability.

Additionally, all rear connections are safeguarded within a sheet metal recess, reinforcing the system’s robust design and protection.

Unveiling the XPR460 Power Supply

The XPR460 power supply, akin to the XPR300, distinguishes itself with notable differences. Cooler components have been relocated to a separate console while incorporating three choppers (as opposed to two), a larger transformer, and an additional output inductor, further enhancing the system’s capabilities.

With the main contactor accessible from the side and dual terminal connections for work lead and negative leads, the XPR architecture simplifies system integration, installation, and operation while streamlining serviceability and maintenance routines across the XPR family.

Consistent Cut Quality and Superior Performance

The XPR technologies are meticulously designed to uphold consistent cut quality, evident in the similarity between the first and 500th cut. Offering more uniform cuts over its lifespan compared to previous plasma systems, the XPR system ensures improved surface smoothness over HPR and delivers superior cut quality on stainless steel and aluminum.

Notably, the XPR460 achieves enhanced outcomes on 45-degree bevel cuts on 2-inch steel compared to HPR, showcasing its unparalleled performance and precision.

Precision in Cutting Performance

Regarding precision, the XPR 460 stands out as an industry leader. This machine delivers exceptional performance, with a production pierce capacity of 50mm (2 inches) for mild steel and an enhanced pierce capacity of 64mm (2.5 inches) for argon-assist piercing.

Additionally, with a production severance of 90mm (3.5 inches) for mild steel and an enhanced severance of 102mm (4 inches) with argon-assist cutting, it ensures precise and clean cuts, meeting the highest standards of quality and accuracy.

Versatile Cutting Capabilities

The XPR 460 High-Performance Plasma Machine by Cutting System represents a paradigm shift in cutting technology. With unparalleled cutting versatility and power, this cutting system sets a new standard for precision and efficiency across various materials. Its capabilities span mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, making it a versatile solution for diverse cutting applications.

Furthermore, with a production severance of 90mm (3.5 inches) and an enhanced severance of 130mm (5 inches) with argon-assist cutting, it empowers users to tackle cutting tasks with unparalleled versatility and efficiency.

Its production pierce capacity of 38mm (1.5 inches) for aluminum, along with an enhanced pierce capacity of 63mm (2.5 inches) with argon-assist piercing, and a production severance of 80mm (3 inches), further solidifies its position as a top-tier cutting system for aluminum applications.

Unmatched Performance Specifications

Equipped with cutting-edge specifications, the XPR 460 is designed to exceed industry expectations. It delivers uncompromising performance with a maximum open-circuit voltage, output current, and power of 460A, 50-222 VDC output voltage, and a 100% duty cycle rating at 102kW.

Its operational ambient temperature range of -10°C–40°C (14°F–104°F) permits optimal functionality across diverse working environments. Additionally, Class F forced air cooling, Class H insulation, and an IP21 rating uphold safety and reliability standards, providing users with peace of mind.

Integrated Process Control and Delivery

The XPR 460 is engineered for seamless integration into cutting processes. It offers four gas-connect console options that deliver unmatched cut quality for mild steel while successively enhancing cutting capabilities on stainless steel and aluminum. These consoles can be fully controlled through the CNC, promoting high productivity and ease of use.

Including CorePlus, VWI, and Optimix gas connect consoles extends the machine’s capabilities, providing a source of argon gas for improved marking, extended capacity piercing, and extended severance cutting in select applications.
