HOW TO SAVE $70,000

How to convert to High Density Plasma cutting and save up to $70,000 with PHD Plasma High Density.

Here are surefire benefits and savings no one is telling you about.

If you could read just one article, about converting to high density plasma, this is it.

As you read every word of this article you will learn the secret of this exciting breakthrough technology, and that you simply can’t fail saving big money.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS?
Heavy dross needing grinding?
Short consumable life, suffering quality, and losing bids?
Difficulty cutting over 3⁄4” effectively?
Excessive bevel?
Lack of machine time/delivery problems?

WHY HAVEN"T THESE PROBLEMS BEEN SOLVED?
Working with old equipment?
Don’t have the budget?
Lack of ideas including new Technology?

You can upgrade to High Density quality cutting just by changing your torch. You don’t have to buy a totally new system costing upward of $70,000. What you need is a torch that is designed to cut high density. It is that simple.

How does ATTC do this?

Why and how can ATTC do this and the competition can’t? Ultimately, they can and some of the equipment manufacturers do, but they would rather sell a new piece of equipment than just a torch.

American Torch Tip (ATTC) has designed a torch that will give the cutting speed, bevel angle and cleanliness of a new PHD Plasma High Density cutting machine, all for the price of a torch.

ATTC has converted hundreds of customers to High Density with our PHD Plasma High Density conversion torch. Some were skeptical that we couldn’t give them the quality and speeds,  just by changing their torch and cutting with our settings. Once they tried the PHD they saw the results for themselves.

“Converting our 200 Amp torch over to the PHD2000 was easy and took less than 30 minutes. Unlike our old torch, we started out at 30% faster speed using ATTC’s suggested settings and we were blown away at the results. Our disregarding not purchasing a six figure capital investment of new equipment, has not been calculated but we know it has to be financially sound with labor savings and an immense improvement in quality.”

An excerpt from Welding Magazine

Astralloy Steel Products (a division of Arcelor Mittal) has three locations, Birmingham, Alabama (45,000 sq. ft.), Masury, Ohio (65,000 sq. ft.) and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (13,000 sq. ft.) and has been in business for 40 years. At this time, Astralloy employs over 60 people in the abrasion and impact resistance steel service center market. The many specialty steels by Astralloy are much harder than your common mild steels. In stock are premium grade steel, armor plate as well as other commodity grade steels they source and machine. Astralloy serves the markets of the heavy duty industries such as mining, construction, forestry, aggregate and many more.

We thought of purchasing a more powerful new CNC Plasma cutting system, but in these times a large capital outlay in the six figures was not an option.

We heard about American Torch Tip’s (ATTC ) new PHD2000 high definition conversion Kit (for just over $1,000), designed to increase speed and quality and decided to give it a 30 day free trial. The kit includes a torch, backend and consumables and the only requirement is changing the torch. We did not have to change anything on our gantry or processor. Obviously, if we liked it, a torch for life program; meaning a free torch if we break our torch under normal operating conditions, blew our mind.

Watch the new PHD cutting torch in action

Unlike our old torch, we started out at 30% faster speed using ATTC’s suggested settings and we were blown away at the results.

We were able to cut the thicker steel we needed to cut and eliminated 70%-80% grinding on our bevel cut abrasion-resistant screens. What use to take us eight hours a day of grinding now takes approximately two hours. The grinding we are talking about is on reaming the notch from the pierce when cutting holes, not on bottom dross. “The quality has increased 80%-85%”, says Lee Reed, Shop Foreman and Lead Plasma Specialist. We are able to cut within 1/16”-1/32” tolerance with a 1 degree bevel with the PHD2000, where as we had approximately a 3 degree bevel before.

On our straight cutting of three quarters of an inch and below we have eliminated 90% of our grinding. We reduced processing time almost in half and decreased our consumable cost significantly. Our cost savings, disregarding not purchasing a six figure capital investment of new equipment, has not been calculated but we know it has to be financially sound with labor savings and an immense improvement in quality.

In addition, we are able to consolidate consumables we share with other CNC plasma torches we converted to ATTC’s PHD series plasma torch. Because of the breakthrough success we had converting our 200A plasma torch, we also converted our high definition 260 amp plasma torches over to the high definition PHD260 that ATTC offers. The ATTC PHD260 also has given us better cut quality all the way around.

Benefits

How can just a torch give you all these benefits?

The technical side:
ATTC’s PHD High Density torch, with their consumables, offers a tighter tolerance of divergent cut gas which increases the energy density of the ionized gas stream thereby giving you a much better quality cut.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CONVERSION KIT

Some companies have two different plasma systems, a conventional as well as High Density. This means two different sets of consumables to manage for inventory. ATTC’s torch can fit on both systems allowing for one set of consumables for both machines.

The PHD torch is designed for converting HPR130®, HPR260®, HD3070®, HT2000®, MAX200®, and Proline 2260® to HD Cutting.

The PHD2000 Conversion Kit and the PHD260 Kit has been designed to retrofit the HT2000® and the HPR260® plasma machines. It is domestically engineered and manufactured to stringent tolerances allowing the toughest applications to take advantage of the ATTC product improvements.
