Hypertherm (www.hypertherm.com) has added a 150-amp consumable set to its Centricut brand. The new set joins amp consumables in four other amperage ratings for the Innerlogic Proline2200 products. The product line now is available in 50-amp, 70-amp, 100-amp, 150-amp and 200-amp versions. The company said in addition to a longer life and better cut quality, the Centricut brand consumables are designed to lower the operating cost of its Proline2200.

The increased performance and lower operating cost is due to the use of SilverLine electrodes and CoolFlow nozzles. SilverLine electrode technology involves welding a solid silver front end to a copper electrode base and inserting a hafnium pin into the silver. CoolFlow nozzle technology, on the other hand, offers improved conduction cooling, O-ring cooling and seal reliability. Additionally, the company said flow stagnation and leaks into the plasma chamber are eliminated.
