View Full Version : hydefinition on a torchmate 3? dozer50bmg 08-31-2007, 09:42 PM is torchmate three compatible with a hydefinition cutter such as an hypertherm hpr130? Mike@Torchmate 09-04-2007, 05:28 PM With some modifications to the AVHC unit and possible shielding/grounding it should work. It would be a completely custom application as I can't recall a customer using one of these units. We have been testing with some Thermal Dynamics units with good success. PlasmaGuy 09-08-2007, 06:05 AM Mike, I thought that the Hi-Def concept was a Hypertherm concept? What machine of Thermal Dynamics is TM testing? Thanks. Tom dozer50bmg 09-08-2007, 11:14 AM i believe that TD has an ultra cut series that is considered high definition Mike@Torchmate 09-10-2007, 10:23 AM Yes, we are currently testing the Ultra-Cut series with our table. Hi-Definition is the term Hypertherm uses, the Ultra-Cut series wasn't designed for small kerf widths, but it does produce a more accurate cut with the goals of better cut quality and production based 200 amp plasma cutting. dozer50bmg 09-10-2007, 01:19 PM mike, what are the expected kerf sizes for hypertherm and TD. do you know what the difference is between a conventional height control unit and one that would be used for a hi definition or an ultra cut? Mike@Torchmate 09-10-2007, 04:04 PM mike, what are the expected kerf sizes for hypertherm and TD. Do you know what the difference is between a conventional height control unit and one that would be used for a hi definition or an ultra cut? I do not have exact numbers on either table, at best I would recommend getting an estimate from both manufactures on their expected kerf width for a certain speed and a certain material. The only differences in the height control's should be the mounting situation due to a larger torch body, and perhaps a voltage divider if the arc voltage differs. If it does or not I'm not sure yet. |
