OVERVIEW

Genuine Hypertherm 130A Shield for XPR300 Systems

Keep your Hypertherm XPR300 plasma cutter running at peak performance with the genuine Hypertherm 420255 Shield. This 130 Amp shield is designed specifically for cutting mild steel and is an essential part of your machine torch assembly. When you are running a high-volume fabrication shop, you know that downtime is the enemy. Using the right consumables is the easiest way to ensure your machine stays up and running, producing clean cuts shift after shift. This shield acts as the first line of defense for your torch, protecting the delicate nozzle from the splash-back of molten metal during piercing and cutting.

The 420255 shield isn't just a protective cover; it's a precision-engineered part that helps shape the plasma arc. By controlling the flow of the shield gas, it constricts the arc to provide that laser-like focus Hypertherm is famous for. This means you get cleaner cuts with less dross, reducing the amount of time your team spends on secondary grinding and cleanup. Whether you are cutting thin gauge sheets or thicker plate at 130 amps, this shield ensures the arc remains stable and the cut remains true. It is compatible with standard machine torches found on CNC tables utilizing the XPR300 power source.

Why risk your expensive equipment with knock-off parts? Genuine Hypertherm consumables are built to last longer and perform better. The copper construction of this shield is robust enough to handle the heat of industrial cutting while maintaining the electrical isolation needed to prevent torch damage. Replacing your shield regularly when the orifice becomes damaged or clogged with slag is a small investment that protects your nozzle and electrode, ultimately saving you money on total operating costs. Make sure your tool crib is stocked with the 420255 shield so your operators can swap it out and keep the sparks flying.
