This Hypertherm PL-YPE 3100 is a used plasma cutting machine — sometimes referred to as a plasma cutter or CNC plasma table — built for the precision thermal cutting of flat metal plate and sheet. Plasma cutting systems of this kind use a high-temperature ionised gas arc to cut electrically conductive metals, and are widely employed in metal fabrication, structural steel, shipbuilding, and industrial manufacturing. Hypertherm is a well-established American manufacturer specialising in plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting technologies, supplying equipment to fabricators and heavy industries worldwide.
This three-axis machine was manufactured in 2017 and is currently located in Germany. At its core is a Hypertherm HyPerformance HPR400XD gas plasma source, paired with a Hypertherm HPR400 power source (model 006634). Gas management is handled by an autogas console, which allows precise, automated control of cutting and shield gases for consistent cut quality across different materials and thicknesses.
The effective cutting area measures 3,000 mm by 1,200 mm, with an overall machine depth of 4,300 mm. The torch working height is 100 mm. In terms of cutting capacity, the system handles mild steel up to 50 mm thick under standard conditions, and up to 80 mm when cutting from the edge. Stainless steel can be cut up to 75 mm thick, with edge-start cutting also reaching 80 mm. Aluminium capacity reaches 45 mm. Productive cutting thickness — the range in which the system delivers optimal cut quality and throughput — is rated at up to 45 mm.
Positioning and repositioning accuracy are both rated at ±0.2 mm per 1,000 mm of travel, reflecting the precision expected in high-specification plasma cutting applications. Maximum positioning speed is 20 m/min, while maximum cutting speed reaches 15 m/min (15,000 mm/min).
Electrical requirements are 200 V / 50 Hz for the machine itself, with the plasma power supply drawing 380 V at 60 A. The listing includes two significant ancillary systems: a filtration unit by Oytunmak rated at 12,000 m³/h for fume and particle extraction, and an AERIUS VB compressed air system with a 7.5 kW compressor and integrated air dryer to supply clean, dry gas to the cutting process.
