The update unlocks faster max cut speeds, reduces cut-to-cut time by performing torch bleed-down while traversing to the next piece (instead of upon arrival), and delays gas post flow stage when applicable.

When used in combination with increased distance between initial height sensing, the cut time can be improved further. For example, if multiple parts are close together it’s sometimes unnecessary to use initial height sense at every pierce.

The combination of these factors can add up to some impressive time savings on a full 3m x 1.5m nested sheet. In the example nest on the right, cutting all the parts out of a 2mm sheet of mild steel, the HySpeed Enabled system completed the job 1 hour faster than when using standard cut settings!
