3.6.3 Hypertherm Air Supply
The Hypertherm Powermax45 minimum air supply requirement is 6 cubic feet per minute
(cfm) at 90 psi. When cutting thicker material it is possible that the Hypertherm unit will
require higher air ow from the air supply. The Customer should ensure the air supply for the
Dragon A400 is appropriate to operate the Hypertherm as well as other working aspects of
the machine. If connected to a separate air source the Customer should ensure the air source
is appropriate to supply the Hypertherm unit. See section 2.7.4 for Hypertherm air supply
requirements.
3.6.4 Hypertherm PSI Settings
The Hypertherm unit will be pre-set to a default PSI. This is the recommended starting point for
cutting operations on the Dragon A400.
3.6.5 Hypertherm Cut Settings
As a rule, speed and amperage settings should be on the low end of what Hypertherm
recommends for a given material. For any given cut, Bend-Tech recommends dividing the
recommended Hypertherm feed rate in half as a starting point of operation.
The Dragon A400 machine parameters are now set.
