Cutting parameters, cutting time, wear life … everything is now meticulously and automatically updated, so that cutting can be made a lot easier.

• The internal software platform has been updated to TwinCAT 3.0.
• The control is ready for the latest Q plasma source from Kjellberg and Hypertherm. Both use the same EtherCAT bus for control.
• The new software is being rolled out on all plasma driver series (SMART, HS, M and XG).
• Cutting parameters, cutting time, wear life … everything is now meticulously and automatically maintained, so that cutting is a lot easier
• Automatic generation of recipes directly from the plasma manufacturer’s cutting table.
• Automatic restart in the middle of the nest at Crash… (tilting part, gas empty ..)
