220187 - Hypertherm 80A Mild Steel Electrode for HPRXD Systems (5-Pack)

Hypertherm 220187 Electrode: Precision Engineering for HPRXD Systems

The Hypertherm 220187 Electrode is a critical consumable component designed for high-performance mechanized plasma cutting. Engineered specifically for use with Hypertherm's HyPerformance® HPRXD® family of plasma systems, including the HPR130XD, HPR260XD, HPR400XD, and HPR800XD, as well as the legacy HD4070 system, this electrode ensures your equipment operates at peak efficiency. As the point of arc emission, the electrode plays a pivotal role in maintaining arc stability, cut quality, and overall system reliability. This specific part number is rated for 80 Amps and is optimized for cutting mild steel using Oxygen (O2) or Air as the plasma gas.

Manufactured in the United States to the highest quality standards, genuine Hypertherm consumables feature advanced technologies that extend part life and improve cut consistency. The 220187 utilizes high-grade copper construction, which provides superior thermal conductivity and electrical transfer properties essential for sustaining the high-energy plasma arc. By using genuine OEM parts, operators can avoid the common pitfalls associated with aftermarket consumables, such as premature failure, torch damage, and inconsistent cut angularity. This electrode is designed to work in harmony with the nozzle, swirl ring, and shield cap to focus the plasma stream for clean, dross-free cuts on mild steel plate.

In industrial fabrication environments, downtime is costly. The Hypertherm 220187 is packaged in quantities of five, allowing maintenance teams to keep adequate stock on hand for scheduled changes. Proper maintenance of the electrode is vital; running an electrode beyond its service life can lead to catastrophic failure inside the torch head. This 80A electrode is part of a specific consumable stack for mild steel applications, ensuring that the amperage and gas flow are perfectly matched to the metallurgy of the workpiece. Whether you are operating a gantry table or a robotic cutting cell, relying on the 220187 electrode guarantees that your HPR system delivers the industry-leading performance Hypertherm is known for.

Key technical specifications include an amperage range of 70-80 A, compatibility with mechanized torch setups, and a design focused on mild steel fabrication. It is essential to verify that your system settings match the consumable set installed to prevent damage and ensure safety. With the 220187, fabricators can expect reliable ignition, stable arc voltage, and excellent edge quality on mild steel thicknesses appropriate for the 80A process.
