The HyperGear 2D laser cutting system automatically changes torches and nozzles and sets up focus-lens position, nozzle-to-material distance, and beam adjustments.

According to the manufacturer, the machine's Nanosecond PREview 640 PC control and Hyperlinear drives let it cut quickly and precisely enough to maintain corners, tight dimensional accuracy, and roundness on contours. Special aircooled linear motors and stainless, sealed protection covers require no chillers or bellows.

As part of the HyperGear's intelligent-maintenance-notification system, sensors — such as those in the internal and external beam-delivery systems — alert operators in advance of needed maintenance. There is also intelligent nozzle inspection and cleaning.

A quick-change piercing gun, combined with the manufacturer's software that automatically determines optimum sheet-pierce sequencing, provides fast, stable piercing of thick plate while reducing heat buildup. With 4,000 and 2,500 W, the HyperGear processes materials from thin, painted, galvanized steel to 1-in. mild steel and is available with a 5 3 10-ft bed.
