Hypertherm XPR460 Plasma Cutting System

The Hypertherm XPR460® is a high-performance mechanized plasma cutting system designed to deliver exceptional cut quality, speed, and versatility across a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. With a maximum output of 460 amps and 102 kW, it offers enhanced piercing capabilities—up to 64 mm (2.5″) in mild steel—and severance capacities reaching 102 mm (4″). Advanced features like Arc Response Technology™ and SureCut™ technology ensure consistent, precise cuts while extending consumable life and reducing downtime. The system’s argon-assist technology facilitates efficient piercing and edge-starting on thick materials, and its compatibility with various gas console options: Core™, CorePlus™, Vented Water Injection™ (VWI™), and OptiMix™; allows for process optimization tailored to specific cutting needs.

Benefits of the XPR460

Industry-Leading Versatility Across All Metals

The XPR460 is Hypertherm’s most powerful and versatile plasma system, built to handle a broad range of materials and conditions:

  • Excels at cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum

  • Offers the widest amperage range for tackling thin sheet to heavy plate

  • Maintains high-quality cuts on painted, rusted, or otherwise imperfect surfaces

Maximum Productivity with Reduced Operating Costs

Optimized for heavy-duty production, the XPR460 pushes output without sacrificing efficiency:

  • Full 460 Amp oxygen cutting capability delivers unmatched power and cut speeds on mild steel

  • Argon-assist technology enables reliable piercing and edge-starting on thick materials

  • Higher amperage results in faster throughput and improved cut quality across all applications

  • Built-in Arc Response Technology™ proactively manages adverse events, protecting the torch and extending consumable life

Precision Cuts That Minimize Rework

Engineered for clean, accurate results from start to finish:

  • Maintains exceptional part consistency throughout the full life of the consumables

  • Produces smooth edges, reduced bevel angles, and virtually no dross—delivering ready-to-weld parts straight from the table

  • Embedded XPR technology enhances bevel cutting, especially on 45° edges, improving weld prep and reducing grinding time

  • SureCut™ technology intelligently integrates advanced cutting profiles directly into the process for superior cut outcomes
