Hypertherm updates Phoenix software to support HyPerformance HPR400XD
Zurück
Hypertherm, the world leader in plasma arc metal cutting technology, today announced an update to its popular Phoenix software. The updated versions, Phoenix 6 and 8.5, include the same impressive capabilities as the original version, but add features to support Hypertherm’s new HyPerformance HPR400XD—the industry’s first 400amp HyPerformance system. These features include improved cut charts for plate marking applications, piercing parameters, and auto-gas support. Additionally, the Phoenix 8.5 release adds updated cut charts for Hypertherm’s newest air plasma system, the Powermax45.
Hypertherm’s Phoenix software also comes with Remote Help, a major advancement in customer support. Remote Help is a fast and easy way to remotely connect your CNC to your OEM and Hypertherm, if needed. Remote help is also a good way to transfer or download setup files, part programs, and software updates.
“Remote Help makes it possible for people to quickly get the technical support they need,” said Peter Brahan, leader of Hypertherm’s Automation team. “In less than a minute, operators can be talking to a technical service specialist who can remotely view what the software is doing.”
Phoenix 8.5 has the added benefit of the patent pending CutPro Wizard. The CutPro Wizard works similarly to the wizards found on common computer software programs: It is even possible for inexperienced operators to run a table in less than five minutes. Hypertherm’s Phoenix software has drastically changed the way metal cutters operate their machines. The software boasts more than 40 enhancements, including the ability to store custom cut charts for later use and cut plate remnants – pieces of the plate normally considered “scrap” or unusable – to significantly reduce materials costs, thereby increasing profits.
Owners of existing Hypertherm Automation controllers should contact their authorised OEM or Hypertherm distributor for Phoenix upgrade information.
