220741 - Hypertherm HPRXD 260A Mild Steel Bevel Shield

Hypertherm 220741 Shield: Precision Beveling for HPRXD Systems

The Hypertherm 220741 Shield is a critical consumable component engineered for high-performance plasma cutting applications. Specifically designed for use with the HyPerformance® HPR260XD, HPR400XD, and HPR800XD plasma cutting systems, this shield is rated for 260 Amps and is optimized for bevel cutting on mild steel. In the demanding environment of industrial fabrication, the shield plays a vital role in protecting the inner consumables—such as the nozzle and electrode—from molten metal spatter and reflected heat, while also assisting in the precise direction of the shield gas flow.

Bevel cutting requires exceptional stability and arc control to maintain accurate angles and edge quality. The 220741 shield is manufactured to Hypertherm's exacting standards, ensuring that the plasma arc remains focused and stable throughout the cut. This is particularly important when processing mild steel at high amperages, where inconsistencies can lead to poor edge finish or dross buildup. By using genuine Hypertherm consumables, operators can achieve "True Bevel" performance, reducing the need for secondary grinding or preparation of the weld edge.

Constructed from high-quality copper alloys, this shield offers excellent thermal conductivity, which helps dissipate the intense heat generated during the 260A cutting process. This thermal management extends the life of the shield itself and contributes to the longevity of the entire torch head assembly. For facilities utilizing mechanized cutting tables, maintaining a stock of genuine 220741 shields is essential for minimizing downtime and ensuring that every cut meets the rigorous specifications required for structural steel, heavy equipment manufacturing, and other industrial sectors.

Compatibility is key with the HPRXD family of products. This shield fits seamlessly onto the machine torch of the HPR260XD, HPR400XD, and HPR800XD systems. It is specifically designated for mild steel applications using oxygen plasma gas, providing the cleanest possible cut on carbon steel plates. Trusting in OEM parts from Josef Gas ensures that your equipment operates at peak efficiency, preserving the manufacturer's warranty and delivering the reliability professional fabricators demand.
