Please Note: This does not include consumables.

The industry’s only air plasma torches are designed specifically for robotic cutting and gouging.

Three torch angles: 180°, 90°, 45° – provide maximum versatility

Choose the right torch for the application – whether you need to reach inside a part, bevel cut, or even gouge

Designed for precise positioning

Flats, grooves, and dowel sockets on the torch body prevent rotational or horizontal slip
Torch positioning marks for easy realignment

Compact size for easier programming

The 90° torch measures only 20.1cm (7.9") long and 9.9cm (3.9") tall, including consumables

Durable torch lead to withstand repetitive motion

Powermax® torch leads are lightweight and flexible to hold up under the torque and repetitive motion of robotic cutting
Approximately 7.5cm (3") bend radius
FastConnect™ torch quick disconnect measures 4.2cm (1.65") in diameter, making through-arm installations possible on some robots

A clamp designed for easy integration

Optional aluminium clamp has threaded holes and bolt holes for integration with a variety of mounting arms

Mechanical teach tool aids programming

Optional mechanical teach tool allows you to touch the plate while programming cutting and pierce heights

Hypertherm Machine Torches FAQs

Practical answers on fitting, setting up and looking after a plasma machine torch on a cutting table, positioner or automated system.

What is the difference between pierce height and cut height?

They are two separate settings. Cut height (standoff) is the distance between the torch tip and the plate while cutting. Pierce height is the higher setting used to start the hole, so molten metal blown back from the pierce does not land on the nozzle and shield.

A common rule of thumb is to pierce at roughly one and a half to two times the cut height. Piercing too low is a leading cause of early consumable and torch damage, while piercing too high can stop the arc transferring to the plate. Take the exact values from the cut chart for your consumables, material and current.

How does torch height control keep the cut consistent?

Arc voltage rises as the torch moves away from the plate and falls as it gets closer. A torch height control reads that voltage while cutting, compares it with a target set from the cut chart, and raises or lowers the torch to hold the distance steady. This lets the torch follow warped or uneven plate.

The voltage reading also shifts as the electrode and nozzle wear, so a worn set can leave the torch sitting at the wrong height. If cut quality drifts, check the consumables and the actual cut height as well as the voltage setting.

Why are my parts bevelled or not square?

Too much bevel usually points to the torch settings or the torch itself. A top that is narrower than the bottom is commonly linked to a worn nozzle, too high a standoff, too little current or too much speed. Undercutting, where the bottom is narrower, is linked to too low a standoff, too much current or too low a speed.

A bevel that changes from positive to negative on the same part often means a failed nozzle, a torch that is out of square to the plate, or misaligned parts inside the torch. Check the consumables first, then the squareness of the torch, then the cutting parameters against the cut chart.

Does compressed air quality really matter for a machine torch?

Yes. Moisture, oil and dirt in the air supply shorten consumable life, reduce cut quality and can harm the torch and the power supply. Condensation can form in long pipe runs, and oil from other lubricated air tools on the same line can travel back into the supply.

A moisture and particle filter close to the plasma power supply's air inlet is commonly recommended on top of the workshop's own air treatment. Drain and service filters regularly, and follow the manufacturer's air quality requirements in the manual. Sudden drops in consumable life are often an air supply problem.
