Advantages Efficient & for versatile applications

Highest cutting & marking quality
High cutting speed The plasma cutting systems of the HiFocus neo series meet the highest
Wide cutting range demands in the cutting range between 0.5 and 160 mm. Due to the constriction
Low costs per cutting foot of the plasma arc by means of a heavily rotating swirl gas, it is possible to
Long lifetime of the consumables
achieve excellent cuts with nearly dross-free* and rectangular cut surfaces.
Low gas consumption
Users benefit from diverse ­possible applications as well as low process costs
due to high cutting and ­marking speeds: The plasma cutting units can be
used in connection with all common CNC guiding systems, pipe cutting
machines or robots, also for bevel cutting or underwater plasma cutting (from
HiFocus 280i neo).

Intelligent
Torch Technology

PerCut torches for precise & fast cutting

The PerCut torches are equipped with an unique liquid cooling system up to the
torch tip, thus achieving a very high energy density and excellent cutting results
with very narrow kerfs. In connection with the high cutting speeds and the
efficient cooling of the consumables, fewer emissions and waste are produced
and savings in gas and energy consumption are achieved. Users improve their
productivity and also reduce their costs per cutting foot.

Reproducible results & long lifetime Gas consumption cf/min, mild steel, 400 A
With the automatic and manual gas control units FlowControl and PGE,
the optimum mixture of plasma gases is created for each cutting task. The 8
result is a high-quality reproducible plasma cut at highest cutting speed. The
automatic gas control unit FlowControl is equipped with its own database

Advantages Precision with Contour Cut

Highest cut qualities & contour accuracy All HiFocus units use the patented Contour Cut technology for precise cutting
Highest cutting speed of mild steel: finest contours, narrow webs and small holes with a diameter
Fine contours & hole cutting with a ratio of 1:1 to material thickness ratio of 1:1 can be cut with excellent quality. The further
Excellent reproducibility & dimension accuracy technological development of Contour Cut Speed enables the cutting speed to
Without additional software and equipment be increased by 50 % with equivalent cut quality.

 TECHNOLOGY

Stainless Steel & Aluminum

Gases mixed for each specific job

For cutting stainless steel and aluminium, the plasma units of the HiFocus neo
series use Ar/H2 Mix technology. The single plasma gases are mixed for each
Ar/H2 Mix
specific job in order to achieve the best cutting results and high cutting speeds.
Inner and outer contours are cut with very good contour accuracy, angularity Advantages
and surface quality. High cutting speed
With significantly less dross* also when cutting
thicker sheets
HiFinox for thin sheets No time-consuming re-work required
For plasma cutting of thin stainless steel less than 1/4 inch thick, HiFocus series Low rectangularity tolerance
uses the HiFinox technology. Users benefit from clean and smooth cut surfaces,
narrow kerfs and a small heat-affected zone. *depending on material & guiding system

0.105 inches stainless steel Sharp cut edges Smooth cut surfaces

Database for welding-oriented bevel cuts

PerfectBevel is a supplementary bevel cutting database with previously tested
values. It can be expanded according to customer’s requirements and is easy
to implement. The recommended values in the database are currently based
on PerCut cutting torches.
