Hypertherm Edge Connect Controller

Designed to be flexible and easy to use, the EDGE Connect delivers reliable performance for improved profitability and application performance such as True Hole technology. Touchscreen and integrated physical buttons for easy operation. EtherCAT machine interface for easy connectivity and superior motion

What is EDGE Connect?

EDGE Connect is the next generation of Hypertherm's industry leading automated control systems. It includes Hypertherm's 45+ year cutting expertise combined with 0EM customizability. Like its predecessor, EDGE Pro, it delivers reliable performance for improved profitability.

What's new with EDGE Connect? What is the CNC Software?

EDGE Connect offers new and improved hardware, EtherCAT communications and real time operating system (RT0S), new software features, and enhanced order and configuration options. While Phoenix remains the control software it is enhanced significantly with new customization and configuration tools that includes ProNest CNC, Soft 0perators Console, and PLC Connect.

What are the benefits?

Superior cutting performance delivered through Hypertherm Phoenix software and SureCut technology

0ptimized machine setup using EtherCAT communications

Reduced costs and customization via a Soft 0perators Console and PLC Connect

Convenient operator programming with SureCut outcomes via ProNest CNC

Improved industrial system hardware

Simple and modular CNC ordering for point-of-use configuration design and upgrades Why

EtherCAT communications?

EtherCAT greatly simplifies the wiring of the CNC and cutting system by offering single cable connectivity between the CNC, the drive cabinet, and the HPR system.

Hypertherm Rotary Tube Pro

Rotary Tube Pro offers a complete design and cut solution for tube and pipe parts in mechanized cutting applications including plasma, laser, waterjet, and oxyfuel. There is no 3D CAD experience required. Tubes and branches are easily created using parametric input. Side-wall cut outs can be selected from a list of pre-defined shapes, or added from CAD. And, if necessary, users can import 3D CAD files. This flexibility allows fabricators and manufacturers to work more efficiently, boost productivity, and reduce operating costs.

The Hypertherm CAD/CAM difference

Rotary Tube Pro is the only rotary software with full support for Hypertherm SureCut™ technology, including True Hole®, which is delivered automatically without operator intervention, and bevel cut charts based on True Bevel™ technology, which greatly reduce bevel set up time.

Standard feature highlights

Part creation and development

Create round or rectangular tube parts with parametric input

Standard tube sizes and schedule pipe parameters (including wall thickness, corner radius, etc.) are provided for common materials, or input your own custom sizes

3D model of tube is updated in real time as you work, can be freely moved and rotated

Branches and cutouts can be added to define interiors using standard or custom tube sizes

Support for a variety of end cuts (miter, straight, pipe intersection)

Edit lead-in/lead-out position and properties CAD/CAM import and conversion

Import DXF files to use as cutouts, allowing interiors of virtually any shape

Import DXF text for cutting

STEP file import for 3D CAD

SureCut technology and built-in process expertise

True Hole technology capable

Automated job set up on the EDGE CNCs
