HiFocus 80i 

System of Function and Design

The HiFocus 80i is a modern microprocessor-controlled power source that is often used in the automotive industry. Based on the well-proven soft switch inverter technology with primary switching and with an operating range from 10Ato 80A, it can be used for cutting materials with a thickness between 0.5 mm and 20 mm, or up to 25 mm in case of separating cuts. Thanks to the excellent price-performance ratio, the HiFocus 80i makes it possible for many  mediumsized enterprises to cut in HiFocus quality.

The HiFocus 80i guarantees high flexibility also for smaller guiding systems and robots for a wide range of conditions of use.The special systemconfigurationHiFocus 80i-Robo is available for the use with robots.

•  Individual manual adjustment of gases with the plasma gas control unit PGE3-HM
•  Analogue or serial interface for adaption of robots toCNCcontrol
•  Serial data transfer to PC for diagnostic purposes
•  Optimal piercing due to adjustable current upslope
•  Adjustable current downslope after corner, start and end signals from the guiding system

The HiFocusPlus technology has a number of advantages

•  Minimum gas and energy consumption due to high energy density as a result of the increased constriction of the plasma arc 
•  Excellent cutting quality
•  Low perpendicularity and inclination tolerances of the cuts
•  High contour accuracy of sharp edges and small radii
•  Low heat input and, therefore, low material warping
•  Flexible adjustment of the cutting process to the required conditions 
•  Optimal process control due to quick and stepless adjustment of the cutting current

Versatile Torch Technology

The new generation of PerCut torches has been developed especially for the high demands of the HiFocus technology. They guarantee an increased constriction of the plasma arc by using swirl gases and smaller nozzle diameters and by optimising the gas rotation.
There are a number of different plasma torches available for versatile applications. In addition to the standard torch PerCut 80, the quick-change plasma torch PerCut 90 with bayonet coupling can be used to take advantage of reduced downtimes and easy handling:

•  Quick change of technologies due to prepared quick-change torch head
•  Quick power adjustment for cutting different material thicknesses
•  Comfortable change of consumables due to prepared quick-change torch head

For bevel cutting up to 45° or on three-dimensional parts, e.g. with robots, the plasma torch PerCut 160 (also available with 60° or 90° angled torch head, straight version also available as quick-change plasma torch PerCut 170) with reinforced shaft and 3D consumables is used, thus creating the best conditions for robot-based three-dimensional cutting which is a typical application for example in the automotive industry.

HiFocus 130 neo 

neo: new – efficient – original

HiFocus neo systems offer a new higher level of performance. Users benefit from an excellent cutting and marking quality. High speeds improve productivity and lower process costs. Due to optimised technology, HiFocus neo delivers longer consumable life and consistent cut quality over entire parts life.
The high-precision unit HiFocus 130 neo can be used for diverse cutting tasks with material thicknesses from 0.5 to 40 mm.

Cutting faster by 50 %

The patented Contour Cut technology stands for precision when cutting mild steel. Small contours, narrow webs and above all small holes with a hole diameter to material thickness ratio of 1:1 can be cut with Contour Cut in excellent quality. Contour Cut Speed allows the cutting of contours in similar quality with a speed that is up to 50 % higher.

Application Areas

•  Metal construction and engineering
•  Steel service centres
•  Steel and hall construction
•  Plant and tank construction
•  Pipeline engineering
•  Shipbuilding
•  Commercial vehicle industry
•  Crane construction
•  Offshore constructions
•  Wind power plants

Advantages

• Suited for all common guiding systems as there are CNC-controlled guiding systems, pipe cutting machines or robots
• High-quality reproducible cutting results due to automatic gas control unit
• Long lifetime of consumables
• Higher cutting speeds reduce the costs per cutting metre
• Nearly dross-free cuts and therefore almost no rework required
• Low perpendicularity and surface roughness

HiFocus 280i, 360i, 440i neo 

HiFocus 600i neo 

With a maximum cutting current of 600 A the plasma cutting system HiFocus 600i neo sets new standards: Materials with a thickness of up to 160 mm can be cut precisely; also marking and bevel cutting is possible.
For cutting mild steel fast and precisely the patented Contour Cut technology is applied. Consisting of two power sources and an external cooling unit the plasma cutting system can be used in combination with CNC-controlled guiding systems, robots or pipe cutting machines and for underwater plasma cutting.
