The roots of Hypertherm trace back to the year 1968 when his president, Dick Couch, and Bob Dean materialised the greater radical change from the preliminary discovery of the cut by plasma fourteen years backwards. They discovered that, if it injected radialmente water to a filter of cut by plasma, would be possible to attain a much narrower arch, able to cut metal with a speed and precision never before seen. Besides, they deleted virtually two problems that besieged the industry from the beginning – the accumulation of slag and a phenomenon designated “double arch”.
At present, Hypertherm designs and manufactures the systems for cut of metal more advanced of the world, used in a wide variety of industries, like nautics constructions, oil and natural gas, heavy equipment, structural steel and manufacturas.
His line of products comprises systems of cut by manual plasma and mechanised, consumables, control of movements by CNC and controls of height, software CAM/CAD and products for cut by laser.
The systems for cut of metals Hypertherm are recognised by his rapidity, precision and confiabilidad, what redunda in a greater productivity and profitability in tens of thousands of companies.
