Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Hypertherm MAX200 / HT2000 (Hypertherm)?
Yes, it was made for the Hypertherm MAX200 / HT2000 (Hypertherm). Check the old plasma shield is marked 020424 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the plasma shield on my Hypertherm MAX200 / HT2000 (Hypertherm)?
On the Hypertherm MAX200 / HT2000 (Hypertherm), laser and plasma nozzles wear in days to weeks, depending on hours of arc or beam time, material and gas. Change it on condition, not by date.
What are the signs the plasma shield needs replacing?
An oval or nicked orifice, spatter stuck on the tip, more dross, a wider cut or bevel on one side, and height sensing errors.
How do I know it is worn?
Look at the orifice: if it is oval, nicked or has spatter stuck to it, the cut quality falls. Change it before it damages the parts behind it.
What should I do after changing it?
Centre the nozzle on the beam and recalibrate the height sensor. A new nozzle off centre cuts on one side only.
Is this a genuine Hypertherm 020424?
No. It is an aftermarket plasma shield made to replace the Hypertherm 020424. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
