Hypertherm Magnetic Torch Breakaway Kit 25 Lbf

Hypertherm 228593: Reliable Magnetic Breakaway for CNC Plasma

Keep your CNC plasma table running smoothly and safely with the Hypertherm 228593 Magnetic Subassembly Break-Away Kit. Designed for professional fabricators and machine operators, this kit provides a robust mounting solution with a 25 lbf holding force. It is specifically engineered to connect your machine torch to the lifter station, offering a smart balance between rigidity and safety.

Collision Protection You Can Trust
Accidents happen on the cutting table. A piece of scrap might tip up, or a rapid traverse move might go wrong. Without a breakaway system, these impacts can bend your torch, strip gears in the lifter, or destroy the torch leads. The Hypertherm 228593 uses strong magnets to hold the torch firmly in place during cutting but releases it instantly upon impact. This "breakaway" action absorbs the energy of the crash and signals the CNC controller to stop, saving you thousands of dollars in potential repairs.

Genuine Hypertherm Quality
When it comes to torch height controls and mechanical accessories, precision is key. This OEM kit ensures that your torch is aligned perfectly perpendicular to the plate every time it resets. Unlike generic replacements that may have weak magnets or poor alignment pins, the Hypertherm 228593 returns to the exact same position after a breakaway event, reducing the need for constant re-squaring of the torch. This means you can get back to cutting faster after a collision.

Easy Installation and Maintenance
The kit is designed for straightforward installation on compatible Hypertherm lifter assemblies. It includes the necessary magnetic components to restore your system's functionality. Regular inspection of the magnetic surfaces for metal dust or debris will ensure consistent performance. By maintaining this critical safety component, you ensure that your plasma system operates at peak efficiency, delivering the clean, accurate cuts Hypertherm is known for.
