Multi-axis robotic cutting with coordinated motion
Extreme cutting speed, low heat input, and maximum precision
See THG Plasma Cutting Demo
Coordinated
Cobot and external axes move together.
Zero
Programming experience required.
3D Cutting
Cut flat, formed, and complex parts.
High Cutting Speed. Low Heat Input.
Plasma cutting system designed for heavy-duty, high-speed, manufacturing.
Go Beyond Simple Plasma Cutting
Start with the base system. Add capability when your parts require it.
Add servo-driven positioners for controlled part rotation, coordinated motion for complex cutting paths, or linear tracks for greater reach. Every THG add-on integrates with the same cobot and graphical programming environment, so you can expand the system without starting over.
Power Source Options
Choose Hypertherm Powermax65, 85, or 105 SYNC, or Powermax125 for higher-capacity cutting. Recommended capacities range up to 1-1/2 in.
Positioners
Add servo-controlled rotary or headstock-tailstock positioners for part rotation, better torch access, and coordinated cutting across complex geometry.
Mobile Platform
Move the complete plasma system between work areas on THG’s palletized platform with integrated cable management, leveling, and forklift access.
SYNC Cartridge Technology
Powermax SYNC uses single-piece RFID cartridges that automatically set amperage and operating mode. FineCut cartridges support higher-precision cutting.
Coordinated Motion
Synchronize the UR cobot with single- or multi-axis positioners through THG URCap for continuous cutting without manual part repositioning.
Linear Tracks
Extend cobot travel with THG linear tracks from 1 to 6 meters for longer cuts, larger parts, and oversized workpieces.
THG URCap Software.
Program Plasma Cuts In Minutes.
Guide the cobot through the part manually, define the cutting path, and control coordinated motion through THG’s graphical URCap interface.
Pattern Cutting
Program and repeat cutting patterns across the X, Y, and Z axes.
Free Drive Teaching
Move the cobot by hand to teach start points and cutting paths.
Job Editor
Create, copy, edit, back up, and restore cutting jobs.
Simulation
Check programmed motion before striking an arc.
THG proprietary URCap
Designed for fabricators
Full power source integration
Advanced cutting motion and sensing capabilities programmed in minutes
Contour Mode Tracks Complex Geometry In Real Time
THG plasma cutting systems use laser guidance to adjust torch position as part curvature and elevation change.
Activate Contour Mode in a few clicks to maintain accurate torch alignment across curved, raised, and irregular surfaces.

Common Questions
Do I need robotics experience to run a THG plasma cutting system?
No. THG systems use a graphical URCap interface designed for production operators, not robot programmers. Teach cutting paths, manage jobs, and control supported external axes without writing robot code.
What materials can a THG robotic plasma system cut?
THG plasma cutting systems can be configured to cut common conductive metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Cutting capacity depends on the Hypertherm power source, material, and application. A more powerful Hypertherm plasma cutter can cut thicker sections. THG can integrate Hypertherm plasma cutters up to 125A.
Can the system cut more than flat parts?
Yes. The cobot can follow cutting paths across flat, curved, raised, and complex geometry. Positioners and coordinated motion can also rotate the part while the cobot cuts.
Can I start with a basic system and expand later?
Yes. Start with the base plasma cutting system, then add positioners, tracks, coordinated motion, or other supported options as your parts and production requirements change. The additions integrate with the same THG programming environment.
Can I use positioners and linear tracks with robotic plasma cutting?
Yes. THG systems can integrate servo-driven positioners for controlled part rotation and linear tracks for additional reach. Coordinated motion lets supported external axes move together with the cobot.
What Hypertherm plasma systems does THG integrate?
THG integrates Hypertherm Powermax SYNC plasma technology, with the power source selected around your material, thickness, cut requirements, and production needs.
How long does it take to get a system?
Two weeks average delivery time from order to installation.
Where do you support customers?
THG serves manufacturers across the US, Canada, and Australia. Canadian systems are built locally with no cross-border tariffs.
