The Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter is a top-tier unitized cutting system designed to deliver decades of exceptional performance.
Built with heavy-duty components, it provides the power, precision, and reliability that fabricators and manufacturers demand. Whether you’re cutting steel, aluminum, or other metals, this CNC plasma machine ensures consistent accuracy and efficiency from start to finish.
Designed for industrial-quality performance, the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter is ideal for businesses that require a dependable plasma table with the versatility of both plasma and oxy-fuel torch options.
With customizable configurations, including a water table or downdraft air table, it’s engineered to meet the needs of demanding fabrication environments.
Heavy-Duty Construction and Industrial Design
Every Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter starts with a welded, unitized steel frame fabricated from ¼” (6mm) steel and heavy-wall tubing. This robust foundation provides long-term durability and stability, even under continuous operation. All frame surfaces are precision-machined to ensure perfect alignment for the linear guides and gear rack.
The gantry beam of the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter is stress-relieved and machined for dual precision linear guides and gear rack alignment, providing a smooth and accurate motion system that holds tight tolerances cut after cut.
This rugged frame design ensures that your cutting table maintains precision and stability for years, minimizing vibration and maximizing the quality of your parts.
Advanced CNC Motion System and Controls
At the heart of the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter lies the Hypertherm® Edge Connect PC-based CNC control system powered by Phoenix CNC software. This control system provides intuitive operation and powerful cutting capabilities that simplify setup and increase productivity.
The machine features powerful AC servo motors, low-backlash planetary gearboxes, and precision-ground linear guides. Together, these components provide the ultimate in motion control, delivering accurate cuts, smooth movement, and high-speed operation without sacrificing quality.
With its integrated Hornet Cutting Systems RSVS-200 plasma lifter and Hypertherm SENSOR torch height control, the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter provides precise torch positioning and automatic height regulation — critical for maintaining clean cuts and optimal consumable life.
Performance You Can Depend On
The Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter boasts a 5 ft (1.5 m) cutting width and a 10 ft (3.0 m) cutting length, with a rapid traverse speed of 1,000 IPM (25 m/min). Its vertical positioning speed reaches 600 IPM (15 m/min), allowing for efficient cutting cycles and higher throughput.
Engineered for accuracy and repeatability, every Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter helps fabricators meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality. Whether cutting small parts or large plate steel, this machine performs flawlessly in demanding production environments.

Flexibility is key with the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter. It supports plasma systems up to 130 amps and includes optional features such as:
- SENSOR torch height control interface
- RSVS-200 plasma torch lifter
- Plasma torch collision mount
- Adjustable level water table or multi-zone downdraft air table
- Dust collection systems
- Manual bevel attachment
- Plasma roller ball plate rider for HVAC applications
Each feature enhances productivity, safety, and precision, making the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter a true workhorse for any fabrication shop.
Smart Software for Smarter Cutting
The Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter includes Hypertherm Phoenix CNC software — a user-friendly platform with customizable process tables, CAD file conversion, dynamic kerf compensation, and nesting capabilities.
Operators can quickly build and edit shapes using the Shape Wizard, utilize a library of 68 preloaded shapes, and monitor critical data such as consumable life, speed, and process parameters.
Phoenix software transforms the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter into a fully integrated system that enhances productivity while minimizing operator error.
Torch Height Control Technology
With SENSOR THC electronics and the Hornet RSVS-200 lifter, the Hornet SS CNC plasma cutter ensures consistent torch-to-plate distance through precise voltage regulation. It features pierce height sensing via Ohmic detection, voltage range adjustment in 0.1V increments, and an 8-inch (200 mm) stroke for optimal performance.
These innovations ensure smoother pierces, cleaner cuts, and longer consumable life — giving operators total control and confidence in every job.
