XPR cutting system description

General

XPR cutting systems are designed for indoor use with correct ventilation to cut a wide range of
thicknesses of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Plasma power supply

The plasma power supply is a 300 A, 210 VDC constant-current supply. It contains a heat
exchanger, fans, and a pump to cool the torch and other electronic components. The plasma power
supply supports EtherCAT
communicate with a CNC or wireless device.
The power-indicator LED on the plasma power supply indicates power status:
It illuminates amber when the plasma power supply is receiving electric power and the

remote on-off switch is in the OFF position.
It illuminates green when the plasma power supply is receiving electric power and the

remote on-off switch is in the ON position.

Gas connect consoles

There are 3 types of gas connect consoles: Core™, VWI™ (vented water injection), and OptiMix™.
Each type provides a different set of gas connection capabilities, which provide selecting and
metering functions for the gas control system. The gas connect console has 2 printed circuit boards
(PCBs): a control PCB and an ignition PCB. If your XPR cutting system is equipped with an
OptiMix gas connect console, there is also a gas mixer that has its own control board. A green
power LED illuminates when power is supplied to the console.

For some cutting systems, a remote on-off switch controls the power that
goes to the console.

TorchConnect console

The TorchConnect™ console has proportional valves, solenoid valves, and pressure transducers.
The TorchConnect console also has 2 PCBs, a control PCB, and an ohmic contact PCB. The
TorchConnect console provides all power, gas, and cooling connections for connection to the torch.
A power-indicator LED illuminates when power is supplied to the console.

For some cutting systems, a remote on-off switch controls the power that
goes to the console.

Torch

The torch assembly consists of a torch mount sleeve, torch receptacle, torch, and water tube. The
torch receptacle contains a solenoid valve. Consumables are installed on the torch.
