Advanced OEM Features
Patented Hypertherm & Esprit Technologies
Our deep hardware and firmware integration unlocks automated cut quality features that reduce cycle times and eliminate secondary manufacturing operations.
True Hole® Technology
Automates gas selection, torch height, arc current, and pierce parameters to cut bolt-ready holes with virtually zero taper on mild steel plate from 3mm to 25mm.
Rapid Part™ Technology
Reduces cut-to-cut cycle times by up to 100%. Synchronises torch retraction, initial height sensing, and gas pre-flow simultaneously between consecutive contours.
LongLife® Consumable Tech
Ramps arc current and gas pressures smoothly during start and stop phases, drastically reducing electrode wear and preserving consistent edge bevel over long production shifts.
Smart Control & Genuine Spares
EDGE® Connect CNC & Dedicated Consumables Support
Every Esprit CNC plasma cutter is equipped with the industrial-grade Hypertherm EDGE® Connect CNC. Featuring Phoenix® software and a 15-inch heavy-duty touch-screen interface, the system incorporates built-in process wizards and cut charts that automatically configure gas flows, arc voltages, and feed rates based on material thickness.
Global Consumables Dispatch
Maintain peak cutting performance and safeguard machine warranty with genuine Hypertherm nozzles, electrodes, shields, and swirl rings. We maintain Europe's largest inventory of genuine OEM spare parts at our Nottingham facility, offering fast international freight services to over 30 countries.
