 HORNET HD™
The HORNET HD™ dual side drive system is a member of the Retro Systems “H” Series
family of CNC cutting machines. HORNET ”H” series machines include a Hypertherm® PC based CNC control, heavy-wall steel tubing machine frame and gantry beam, precision ground linear ways on both the X & Y axis, powerful AC servo motors and low back-lash planetary gear boxes. Both the gantry beam and cross axis carriage ride on precision ground linear ways to deliver premium motion control and accuracy.
MACHINE SIZES
HORNET HD is available in 5 ft, 6.5 ft and 8.1 ft effective cutting widths (1.5, 2.5m & 2.5m). Machines are available with either 12 ft or 20 ft effective cutting lengths (3.6m or 6.0m).
HEAVY DUTY FRAME DESIGN
“H” Series machines include a left and right rail support assembly and a front and rear frame panel assembly. Each rail support assembly is fabricated from heavy wall steel tubing, stress relieved and then machined to ensure precise alignment of the linear ways and gear rack. Rail support assemblies may be palletized for shipment and bolted together onsite for fast and easy setup.
Gantry beams are fabricated from heavy wall steel tubing, stress relieved and machined for precise alignment of the linear ways and gear rack. Dual main rail axis servo motors are mounted inside fabricated steel end trucks. The cross axis servo is covered by a sheet metal enclosure.
INDEPENDENT CUTTING TABLES – AIR OR WATER
The “H” Series design enables an independent air or water cutting table to be set inside the machine frame. An independent cutting table means the machine frame is un-affected by the heat generated by higher amperage plasma systems and plate cutting with oxy-fuel. Retro Systems offers several styles of factory-made cutting tables in either a down-draft air or water table design. Customers may also design and build their own table to fit within the machine’s frame. Retro Systems offers a wide range of dust collection equipment from Micro Air.
PLASMA & OXY-FUEL CUTTING & PLATE MARKING
The HORNET HD tool carriage may be configured with (2) tools - plasma lifter, oxy-fuel lifter or an air scribe marker. Air plasma systems are an excellent choice for medium duty conventional plasma cutting. For extended consumable life, improved cut edge weld-ability and heavier plate capacity, we recommend oxygen plasma systems with liquid cooled torches. If premium plasma cutting is required, a high definition plasma system is the best choice.
POWERFUL AC SERVO DRIVE SYSTEM
Machine motion is powered by (3) 600 watt (.8 HP) AC servo motors directly coupled to precision planetary gearboxes to deliver 1,000 IPM (25m/min) Rapid Traverse speeds. The optional plasma lifter with 6” (250mm) stroke is driven by a 600 watt (.8 hp) AC servo motor to deliver vertical positioning speed of 600 IPM (15m/min).
HYPERTHERM® AUTOMATION CNC CONTROL
Motion control is provided by the MicroEDGE™ CNC control from Hypertherm® - the world leader in plasma cutting automation. Windows® XP Embedded operating system, hardened industrial enclosure and easy-to-learn Phoenix™ software make Hypertherm® controls the best in the business. The control cabinet swivels to maximize ease of use in your shop environment.
Plasma process CUT CHART screens prompt the operator to select material type, material thickness, cutting amperage and gas selection. Parameter tables within the Phoenix software set and control plasma system, torch height control and motion control variables.
CutPro™ Wizard guides untrained operators through the basic and essential functions of loading and cutting parts. Simply touch the REMOTE HELP button on the touch screen, and no matter where you are located, our factory service technicians can provide real-time operator training, software updates and troubleshooting within minutes.
CNC FILE CREATION AND LOADING FILES
The MicroEDGE™ CNC control includes an onboard DXF to CNC converter and NESTER for basic auto nesting of parts. CNC files may be down-loaded from your office computer directly to the MicroEDGE across your network or hand carried to the control on a USB memory stick or floppy diskette. Retro Systems also offers a full range of full featured advanced CAM software from MTC and others.
The HORNET HD™ is the best precision
CNC plasma cutting machine at an affordable price.
