SmartHPR is designed to simplify selecting plasma processes for programs with Hypertherm HPR plasma systems. Similarly SmartXPR works with Hypertherm XPR plasma systems. ut more generally it provides a way to autoselect a suitable process on any cutting or beveling system.
The following sections on SmartHPR apply equally well to XPR systems, just with a different set of data driving it.
Previously if the programmer wanted to specify which process would be used in a program they would need to select it from a list of all possible processes. With the amount of processes available to the HPR400 this means 60+ options to search through. SmartxPR simplifies this by allowing you to store which process to use on a certain material/thickness reducing the list to about 5 user-friendly options.
