Centricut brand expands
Innerlogic Proline 2200 range
Hypertherm’s Centricut brand is building
upon the success of its recently introduced
line of Innerlogic ProLine2200 consumables
by adding a 150 amp consumable set to
its family of products. The new 150 amp
consumables join four other Proline2200
consumable sets – 50, 70, 100 and 200
amp versions – introduced in 2007.
In addition to longer life and better cut
quality, the Centricut brand consumables
can lower the operating cost of the
Proline2200, due to two innovations:
patented SilverLine® electrodes and patent
pending CoolFlow™ nozzles.
SilverLine electrode technology involves
welding a solid silver front end to a copper
electrode base and inserting a hafnium pin
into the silver. The CoolFlow nozzle feature
improves conduction cooling, o-ring cooling
and seal reliability. Flow stagnation and
leaks into the plasma chamber are stopped.
