Hypertherm’s HD3070 HyDefinition® plasma cutting system is a precision cutting dual gas
machine-torch system. The microprocessor-controlled system helps to provide extended life
for the torch consumables parts. To achieve consumable long life, all cuts must begin and
end on the plate surface; this allows for the proper ramping of gases and DC current to
extend the life of the nozzle and electrode. The HD3070 system consists of a power supply,
remote high frequency (RHF) console, gas console, off-valve assembly and torch. Optional
units include a timer-counter and a remote current control.
The HD3070 can be configured for either robotic applications or X-Y cutting tables. To
accommodate the different needs of these two types of systems, two different torches are
offered.
TORCHES
PAC184
If ordering for a robotic system, the PAC184 torch with 45° quick disconnect is recom-
mended. This torch, with a pointed front end, is designed to cut in a robotic environment.
PAC186
The PAC186 torch with the straight quick disconnect is more suitable for X-Y cutting tables.
A unique feature to the PAC184 and PAC186 torches is that the torch bodies, quick discon-
nects and mounting sleeves are all interchangeable.
CUTTING MACHINES
If cutting on an X-Y machine, it is extremely critical that the torch drive system has very
accurate vibration-free control of the X, Y, and Z axes. Placing a precision-cutting plasma
system on a cutting machine with poor positioning or poor contouring tolerance, or with
inadequate acceleration and deceleration characteristics will clearly show the effects on the
cut face. The Z-axis of the cutting machine must be controlled to +/-.005 in. Initial height
sensing (IHS) for plate piercing must also be accurate and repeatable to ensure long
consumable life.
Hypertherm recommends HD3070 units be installed on new, high-precision X-Y machines.
For robotic and hard tooling applications, any system that is laser compatible will generally
perform well with the HD3070 system.

MULTI-TORCH SYSTEMS
If more than one torch is required, increase the quantity of each component by the number
of torches to be used.
To specify the correct components for each application, follow the guidelines in this section.

LAYOUT OF CUTTING MACHINE AND HD-3070 SYSTEM
When configuring an HD3070 system(s), it is important to know where each major compo-
nent will be placed. This will vary with the cutting machine manufacturer and with the particu-
lar installation. After the location of the major components has been determined, the inter-
connecting leads and cable lengths can be specified.
It is critical to follow the path that the interconnecting leads will follow and allow for some
slack when specifying their lengths. Do not try to get by with the next shorter length!
Pictured below is a diagram showing an overhead view of a typical precision cutting X-Y
machine. Installations vary, so use this figure as a guide.

ORDERING PROCEDURE
CUSTOMIZED ORDERING FOR HD-3070 w/AUTOMATIC
GAS CONSOLE
1SPECIFY THE POWER SUPPLY
The HD3070 power supply houses a 100-amp, 15kw chopper power supply which produces a
constant current DC output variable from 15 to 100 amps. It contains a microprocessor control
PC board which regulates all of the plasma system functions: start sequence, machine interface
functions, gas and cut parameters, and off sequence. The power supply also houses the
recirculating cooling system to cool the torch. The power supply interconnects with the RHF
console, machine interface, gas console, and the workpiece.
•Determine the placement of the power supply (supplies) and input line voltage available at the
site and order the appropriate power supply. See
dimensions and weight.
2ORDER THE AUTOMATIC GAS CONSOLE
The gas console is designed to be mounted on the power supply. The unit interfaces with the
power supply, torch off-valve assembly, cutting machine interface and the supply gases. The
gas console must be located within 100 feet (30 m) of the torch off-valve assembly and 150 feet
(46 m) of the cutting machine interface.
Specifications
for details on power supply
•Order the gas console.
3ORDER THE RHF CONSOLE
The RHF console houses the high-frequency starting circuit which is needed to initiate the
torch. The high-frequency starting circuit permits more effective RF shielding and allows the RHF
console to be installed at a distance of up to 125 feet (38 m) from the power supply and
40 feet (12 m) from the torch. A door interlock switch and a cathode manifold are also located in
the RHF console.
•Determine approximately where the console will be mounted on the cutting machine.
Check the mounting holes and weight of the console in the
where it can best be attached.
Specifications
section to determine
4SPECIFY THE LEADS BETWEEN THE POWER SUPPLY AND THE
RHF CONSOLE
The lead set from the power supply to the RHF console consists of five components:
a pilot arc cable, a #4 negative lead cable, a cooling supply hose, a cooling return hose, and
a control cable.
•Based on the distance (the path that the leads will have to run) between the power supply
and the remote high-frequency console, order the appropriate lead package.

5SPECIFY THE WORK CABLE BETWEEN THE POWER SUPPLY AND THE
WORK TABLE
The work (positive) cable connects the positive side of the power supply circuit to the
workpiece via the cutting (work) table. It should be kept as short as possible.
•Determine the necessary length for the work cable and order from the parts list on page 1-11.
6SPECIFY THE LEADS BETWEEN THE POWER SUPPLY AND THE GAS
CONSOLE
The automatic gas console normally mounts on the power supply and uses two (2) six-foot
(2 m) cables to interface to the power supply. If the power supply will be placed farther than
40 feet from the torch off-valve assembly, the gas console will have to be mounted closer to
the torch and may require cables greater than six feet to interface with the power supply.
•Determine where the gas console will be mounted and the distance between the power
supply and the gas console. Order the appropriate length leads.
Note that the hoses from the gas supplies to the gas console are not provided by
Hypertherm.

SPECIFY THE TORCH CONFIGURATION
The torches for the HD3070 system are the PAC184 and PAC186. Hypertherm does not provide
a torch mounting bracket for the torches. Precision and robotic cutting machines have their own
mounting brackets that have proven to be adequate for the PAC184 and PAC186 torches. A
variety of torch configurations are available due to the interchangeability of the torch head, quick
disconnect assemblies and torch mounting sleeves.
•Determine the type of torch, quick disconnect and mounting sleeve you need, and specify using
the figure on page 1-13 and the following brief descriptions as guides:
7P AC186 Torch
This torch head comes loaded with 15-amp consumables and is more commonly used with an
X-Y table. The PAC186 is capable of cutting with up to 100 amps of current. There are two
varieties: one torch includes a retaining cap with a tab for an initial height sensing (IHS) system
and the other torch comes without the tab. Determine if the system will be including a THC
system before ordering (Hypertherm offers a Command THC system for the HD3070).
7a PAC186 Consumable Parts Kits (not shown on page 1-13)
Order one of these consumable parts kits if you specify either of the PAC186 torches. One kit
contains an extra torch body, and the other does not. Both kits include consumables for cutting
with 15, 30, 50, 70 or 100 amps.
8Quick Disconnect Assembly - Straight
Can be used with either torch. More commonly used with the PAC186.
910 Inch Mounting Sleeve
Can be used with either torch depending on cutting machine's torch mounting design.
10 PAC184 Torch
This torch head comes loaded with 30-amp consumables and is more commonly used in robotic
applications. The PAC184 is capable of cutting with 15 or 30 amps of current. There are two
varieties: one torch includes a retaining cap with a tab for an initial height sensing (IHS) system
and the other torch comes without the tab. Determine if the system will be including a THC
system before ordering (Hypertherm offers a Command THC system for the HD3070).
10a PAC184 Consumable Parts Kits
Order one of these consumable parts kits if you specify the PAC184 torch. One kit contains an
extra torch body, and the other does not. Both kits include consumables for cutting with 15 or 30
amps.

HD3070 System - (Ref. Fig. 1-10)
The following figures are a one-to-one representation of the HD3070 system interconnecting
cables and hoses. Figure 2-4 shows cables and hoses that would lay in the rail at the site. Figure
2-5 shows cables and hoses that would lay in the cutting machine's cable/hose carrier. The rulers
have been added to use as a guide. Arrangement of cables and hoses laying in rails or carriers are
roughly suggested here.
