New ease-of-use features and engineered system optimization make XPR^® easier to run with minimal operator intervention, while also ensuring optimal performance and unmatched reliability.

System information

Benefits

Industry-leading X-Definition cut quality

The XPR advances HyDefinition^® cut quality by blending new technology with refined processes for next generation, X-Definition cutting on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Consistent ISO range 2 results on thin mild steel
Extended ISO range 3 cut quality on thicker mild steel and stainless steel
Superior stainless steel cut quality
Superior results on aluminum using Vented Water Injection™ (VWI)

Optimized productivity and reduced operating costs

Significantly reduced operating costs than previous generation technology
Increased cut speeds on thicker materials
Dramatic improvement in consumable life on mild steel applications
Thicker piercing capability than competitive plasma systems
XPR automated gouging minimizes or eliminates grinding compared to carbon arc gouging, producing weld-ready parts faster with cleaner gouge profiles

Engineered system optimization and ease of use

Ramp down error protection significantly increases realized consumable life
Automatic system monitoring and specific troubleshooting codes for improved maintenance and service prompts
EasyConnect™ torch lead and one hand torch-to-receptacle connection for fast and easy change‑outs
QuickLock™ electrode for easy consumable replacement
The web interface tool can be accessed via Wi-FI and Ethernet LAN in the power supply for system monitoring and service
Built-in IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) via Ethernet LAN and MTConnect^® enables remote data access for smarter monitoring from anywhere in the world
Manual Set-Mode is ideal for straightforward applications like gouging and off-table beveling; it retains your last setup for faster, repeatable workflows and simplifies set up and operations without the need for CNC/PLC integration

Advanced process control and delivery

Four console options – Core™, CorePlus™, Vented Water Injection™ (VWI™) and OptiMix™ – offer unmatched mild steel cut quality with each console delivering successively enhanced cutting capabilities on stainless steel and aluminum. All consoles can be fully controlled through the CNC for high productivity and ease of use.
