Performance

Through years of cutting experience, Hypertherm engineers have learned the critical parameters to achieve superior quality performance on every part.


  • Cutting applications include high definition, conventional, duct cutting, single- or dual-bevel plasma capability, oxy fuel, laser, and waterjet.
  • Critical plasma, THC and table parameters can be controlled in the part program using Part Program Support (PPS) for repeatable cut quality.
  • Watch Windows™ enable on-screen real-time monitoring of key process performance parameters while cutting.
  • Custom cut charts can be created and controlled in the part program or made available to the CutPro Wizard.
  • Support for fast transitions from marking to cutting.


Phoenix Software

Hypertherm’s proprietary Phoenix software is the core operational interface and is common across the entire Hypertherm family of CNC systems. The software is designed specifically for the X-Y and bevel cutting market.


  • Integrated communications to plasma and torch height control systems for automated and expert control of the cutting process.
  • Built-in cut charts for automatically setting process parameters for mild steel, stainless, and aluminum to enable consistently optimized cutting performance.
  • Wizards and diagnostic support tools that enable easy setup, use and rapid troubleshooting.


Serviceability: Remote Help

Remote Help is an internet based tool that allows the table manufacturer (and Hypertherm, if needed) to be virtually in your factory within minutes. CNC, plasma system and cutting table diagnosis and repair can often be accomplished without an on-site visit. This means that cutting tables can be up and running quickly and without costly travel and wait time.


  • Fast and secure connectivity.
  • Safe remote access to the CNC to view and modify setups.
  • Secure and rapid transfer of files.
  • Up to 15 parties can join the same session.
  • Ability to conduct HyPerformance® Plasma diagnostics remotely.
  • Useful for technical training.
  • Free access for all parties.
