Hypertherm XPR300® plasma system with marking & scribing
The new XPR300™ represents the most significant advance in mechanized plasma cutting technology, ever. This next generation system redefines what plasma can do by expanding its capabilities and opportunities in ways never before possible. With unmatched X-Definition™ cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum, the new XPR300 increases cut speed, dramatically improves productivity and slashes operating costs by over 50%. New ease-of-use features and engineered system optimization make the XPR300 easier to run with minimal operator intervention, while also ensuring optimal performance and unmatched reliability.

Bridge Drive System
The bridge is driven along the rail system length by use of dual AC Servo motors (one on each side) coupled to low backlash planetary gear reducers. We use some of the highest quality gear reducers on the market to reduce backlash when changing directions and to ensure a very long dependable lifespan. The planetary system produces extreme power and performance in a very small package. Helical rack and pinions are used to reduce cogging and vibration that are typical when using straight rack and pinions. When combined in a system, AC servo motors and helical rack and pinion provide smooth motion and high acceleration rates, producing optimum plasma and oxy-fuel accuracy and cut quality.

Advanced Plate Nesting
Controlled Automation offers the cutting edge (no pun intended) in advanced shape nesting software and beyond. Our Nesting software is used throughout all Controlled Automation machinery for easy navigation between machines for the operator. We also allow seamless integration with a variety of communication tools unavailable on any other cutting machine in the world. Controlled Automation imports from all current 3D drafting models (such as Design Data SDS-2 and Tekla detailing software) and communicates with the latest inventory management software (such as FabTrol and FabSuite) to handle the cutting edge of production.

Guide rails and wheels
The bridge is supported by four pivoting wheel assemblies. Each pivoting wheel assembly houses two hardened support wheels for a total of eight wheel supports. By supporting the gantry with eight wheels in contact with the rail surface instead of four, the lives of the wheels, support rail, and wheel bearings are doubled. The wheel assemblies on the guide side are “V” groove wheels which guide the machine on the same path as the guide side rail rolling surface. The wheel assemblies on the opposite side of the gantry are flat across the wheel face. This allows for thermal expansion and compliance between the machine and the rail system interfaced. The rail rolling surfaces are hardened and ground round shafting running the length of each rail providing a very durable long lasting support for the bridge. Another advantage of the MultiMAX rail system is that the round shafting allows debris to fall away from the rolling surface.
High Definition CuttingPrecision parts are produced using Hypertherm's True Hole process as standard on the XPR300 and HPRxd series machines for AISC approved bolted hole connections for the structural fabricators.
Advanced Oxy-fuel AutogasThe optional oxy-fuel autogas system automatically sets the gas pressures depending on the plate thickness and the torch tip being used. The automatic oxy-fuel gas pressure control system continually monitors the delivery pressures to the tool.
BevelMAX™ capableWith the new BevelMAX™ plasma cutting option, the MultiMAX shape cutting machine can produce highly accurate contour bevel cuts.
Cutting SurfacesCutting surfaces range from water tables, conveyorized tables, shuttle tables, downdraft tables, self-cleaning tables and up to custom designed integrated systems. The work surface may be supplied or manufactured by the customer using drawings supplied by Controlled Automation or an existing cutting surface may be used.
Control SimplicityThe operation of the machine is designed to be user friendly. The MultiMAX operating software provides a variety of ways to program or import parts or a nested plate of multiple parts. Parts can be created or imported from multiple file formats (CNC, DXF, DSTV, etc..)
Part MarkingPart marking is accomplished by using a lower amperage setting in a plasma system. When automatic gas control is used, the Controlled Automation software communicates with the plasma to adjust the gas flows, gas pressures, and the amperage setting on the plasma without the need to change consumables.
Down-Draft or Water Cutting SurfacesZoned down-draft systems or water tables are available on all model MultiMAX machines. Dross pick-out trays are included in each design for easy clean out.
Safety FeaturesAll emergency stops are located around the perimeter of the machine. Controlled Automation also offers additional systems such as the Allen-Bradley Life-line E-Stop.
