Preventive Maintenance Program for Plasma Systems



Hypertherm offers a preventive maintenance program designed to help its customers maximize the performance and life of their Hypertherm HyPerformance plasma cutting systems.

"Just as most cars require an oil change after several thousand miles, all plasma systems require regular maintenance for optimum performance," said a company spokesperson. "The Hypertherm program shows end users how to inspect their system, provides easy to follow cleaning and maintenance checklists, and contains a suggested replacement schedule for components that wear out with time."

A number of factors influence the particular maintenance requirements for a plasma system. Those factors include system configuration, usage level, environmental conditions and job specifics such as the type, thickness and complexity of parts being cut. As such, the program takes those factors into consideration and includes the ability to order pre-assembled kits based on the needs of each individual customer.

"Although Hypertherm systems are engineered and carefully manufactured to offer the reliable and consistent performance, preventive maintenance is still key to optimizing system output, reducing unplanned down time and minimizing operating costs," explained Clayton Gould, Product Marketing Manager at Hypertherm. "These kits will make it as easy as possible for our customers to properly care for and maintain their systems."

In addition to these kits for HyPerformance plasma systems, Hypertherm also offers a preventive maintenance program for its entire line of mechanized systems, including its MAX200, MAXPRO200, HD3070, HD4070 and HT4400.
