Waterjet Product Line Features Advanced Technology

Hypertherm has introduced HyPrecision, a complete line of waterjet products. These products include pumps ranging from 15 to 150 HP, precision cutting heads and abrasive delivery equipment. Hypertherm's announcement is the result of the company's acquisition of AccuStream, whose background and expertise in waterjet cutting began in the 1980s with the development, application and sale of waterjet products. The systems feature Advanced Intensifier Technology, which is designed to extend maintenance intervals, reduce maintenance time and maximize performance.

"The inventor of HyPrecision ran his own job shop for many years and saw firsthand what could and did go wrong with the systems he was using," said Sara Mancell, Hypertherm's Waterjet Marketing Manager. "That, combined with more than a decade of experience designing waterjet equipment, drove him to develop replacement parts for a variety of systems. The knowledge gained selling those parts provided an opportunity to learn where and why failures occurred. These experiences led him to create his own waterjet system and continually refine and improve it through the years."

HyPrecision waterjet pumps are designed to optimize plunger length and diameter, combined with long bearing engagement for better alignment, resulting in maximum component life with minimum pressure fluctuation and placement of hydraulic rod seals and plunger bearings outside the hydraulic end cap for easier access and servicing. An advanced piston is designed to minimize seal wear and extend part life.

Hypertherm HyPrecision waterjet systems are part of Hypertherm's Built for Business Integrated Cutting Solutions and utilize Hypertherm's ProNest nesting software.
