Industry-Leading Technology
High Definition Cutting with PowerPierce® and True Hole®
The HPR400XD incorporates HyPerformance® Plasma and patented HyDefinition® technology, which align and focus the plasma arc for tighter tolerances and superior edge quality — even on thicker materials. With Hypertherm’s True Hole® technology, users can achieve significantly better hole quality in mild steel up to 1″ (25 mm), without the need for secondary operations.
Additionally, PowerPierce® technology extends pierce capability up to 2″ (50 mm), making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial cutting tasks. When starting from the edge of the plate, the system can handle materials as thick as 3-1/4″ (80 mm).
Productivity that Scales with Your Operation
Fast Cycles and Quick Changeovers
HyPerformance Plasma is engineered for speed. Rapid cutting, short process cycles, and high-speed motion integration with our CNC cutting systems allow for faster job completion and higher throughput. Whether you’re cutting mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, you’ll benefit from reduced cycle times and streamlined workflow.
Minimized Operating Costs
Lower Consumable Usage, Higher Profitability
Hornet’s plasma cutting equipment combined with the HPR400XD offers real operational savings. Patented LongLife® technology increases consumable life, reduces part replacement frequency, and lowers overall cost per part — all while maintaining consistent HyDefinition® cut quality.
This extended consumable performance means fewer interruptions and more time cutting, which translates to higher profitability in high-volume or high-demand environments.
Built for Reliability
Backed by Hornet Cutting Systems Quality
Hornet Cutting Systems are engineered from heavy-gauge steel with protective end-truck covers and cutting tables designed to reduce smoke and debris. Paired with the Hypertherm HPR400XD, you get a robust, production-ready system designed for uptime and durability.
With over four decades of plasma cutting expertise and extensive system testing, we deliver reliability you can trust — from the first cut to the thousandth.
CNC Plasma Cutting Table FAQ’s
When purchasing a CNC plasma cutting table, people often have several key questions to ensure they choose the right model for their needs. Here are some of the most common questions:
What materials can the Hypertherm HPR400XD cut?
The system is designed to cut mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with production-quality results. It can handle up to 3-1/4″ (80 mm) thickness with edge starts.
Is the HPR400XD compatible with Hornet CNC cutting systems?
Yes. The HPR400XD is available with our dual-side drive CNC machines, offering seamless integration for high-speed, high-precision industrial cutting.
