* Note: Take care in comparison: competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts, as shown above. Cut speeds listed above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.

** ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The lower the range (range 1 is the lowest), the smaller the angle on the cut face. Cut angle in range 4 is better than in range 5.

Highest productivity The HT4001 is designed for 100% duty cycle at 80 kw output to give you maximum uptime. Longer parts life means less downtime for nozzle consumable replacement and more cutting time. Superior system reliability ensures that the HT4001 will be running when you need it. The HT4001 delivers excellent cut speed. For example, at 340 amps you'll cut 110 inches (2.8 m) of 1/2-inch (12 mm) mild steel per minute - with virtually no clean-up needed.

Lower costs Hypertherm's patented LongLife parts technology greatly extends the life of consumables while using oxygen, yielding impressive cost savings. Superior cut quality means minimal clean-up. That reduces your labor costs and makes your operation more efficient.
Maximum flexibility Available power of 260 or 340 amps for oxygen cutting and up to 760 amps for nitrogen cutting. You can add a slave power supply at any time to provide output current up to 760 amps. This extends the cutting range of your HT4001 to 3-inch (75 mm) stainless steel or aluminum.
Superior cut quality 340-amp oxygen capability delivers dross free cuts up to 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) thick at 90, approximately 3/4-inch at 45 bevel. Oxygen plasma is the optimal choice for cutting mild steel. It eliminates dross across a wide cut range. You get faster cut speeds at lower power levels. Oxygen plasma improves weldability of the cut face because it virtually eliminates nitriding on mild steel. Cut edge surfaces are exceptionally smooth. Using nitrogen, the HT4001 delivers 400 amps of power to slice cleanly through 2 inches (50 mm) of stainless steel or aluminum.
