Vegas.
Hypertherm unveiled
their new HPR-400XD Precision Plasma Cutting System at a special
dealer reception held prior to the open of FabTech 2008 in Las Vegas.
This new 30-400 amp unit features PowerPierce

and features a new liquid cooled torch design that keeps the electrode and
torch components cool, significantly improving consumables life.
This
new HyPerformance system has demonstrated the ability to achieve more than 300 pierces and
cutting speeds in excess of 30 ipm in 2" mild steel. It is also
rated to cut up to 3.2" (80mm) thick material with an edge start. In
addition, Hypertherm has a dry H35 process up to 400 amps for
cutting thick stainless steel and aluminum.
C&G
Systems looks forward to adding one of these impressive units to
its demonstration lab when it becomes available later this year.

08/08/2008: Hypertherm
Launches SilverPlus® Oxygen Electrodes on HPR 130 and 260 Systems for North
America.
Hypertherm is launching three new
SilverPlus electrodes designed to operate at 130, 200, and 260 amps on the HPR
130 and HPR 260 systems. These SilverPlus electrodes incorporate
patented technology that doubles the life over standard copper electrodes.
SilverPlus technology involves fusing a silver front-end onto a copper base.
Silver dissipates heat better than copper, thereby allowing the hafnium to
burn slower and deeper into the electrode. This property gives
SilverPlus its dramatically longer life.
07/23/2008: Burny Training
Another
Big Hit With Customers
C&G
Systems, in conjunction with its OEM partner
Cleveland Motion Controls, conducted their second in-house training session on
Burny CNC Controls. Attendees included customers,
installers, and other OEM partners. The 2-day course covered basic operation,
live demonstrations, as well as basic set-up and troubleshooting techniques.
Customers ranged from 6-month experience, recent installations, and new
customers preparing to take delivery of their first new
C&G
Systems machine. Users had the opportunity to learn more about the
inner-workings of their system, troubleshooting techniques, and interface with
Burny technical representatives about issues they have
encountered in the field.
Because of an overwhelming demand
for this seminar from customers,
C&G and Burny are in the process of
scheduling another 2-day seminar in late October or early November. We
hope to be able to accommodate everyone that wishes to attend and will conduct
two back-to-back programs if necessary. A DVD version of this training
is being put together as a refresher for
attendees and for those customers unable to attend in person. Please contact
C&G's
service department (service@cgsystems.com)
for more information and register early for the upcoming course.
