LIGHTNING HD
BEST HIGH DEFINITION PLASMA CUTTER

By combining laser cutting machine principles with the latest high-definition plasma cutting technology, the Lightning HD has evolved over the years to become the reference standard for high-precision plasma cutting.
The Lightning HD fully exploits the latest XPR plasma cutting technology to produce clean, square, dross-free cuts on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It offers high precision plasma cutting, even comparable with laser-cut parts in many cases. Flexible in size, this HD plasma cutter ranges from 3m x 1.5 upwards.
Specified with heavy-duty precision fabricated and machined structures, combined with hardened linear bearings, powerful digital drives, and precision transmissions; the Lightning HD offers market-leading precision and cut quality.

Smart Machine Design
Every detail of the Lightning HD has been carefully thought out and designed to the highest standard. The highly robust & compact design makes the machine capable of exploiting the full potential of high-definition plasma cutting.
High Accuracy even on heavy plates
The cutting table is also structurally independent from the machine, which is ideal for loading heavy plates since accidental shocks will not affect the performance.
Simple and Intuitive Controller
Hypertherm’s EDGE Connect Plasma Controller offers advanced features and an easy-to-use touchscreen interface, so intensive staff training is not required.
A unique perimeter safety system
A unique safety system, with an assigned perimeter and an emergency stop, stops the machine instantly in the event of a collision to protect the safety of your operators.
Build to last & protect
For operator safety and long machine life, the important cables and hoses are placed inside a rugged enclosure, a heavy-duty sheath designed for harsh environments.
Easy Machine Setup
Laser spot identification to locate plate edges simplifies machine setup, one of the many time-saving features incorporated into the Lightning HD.
Hypertherm XPR or HPR
The Lightning HD could be equipped with Hypertherm’s HPR cutting systems or the new XPR plasma cutting technology. HPR is known to cut fine feature parts with superior quality and consistency. The new XPR technology even further improves productivity, reduces operating costs even more, and has an unparalleled performance on all thicknesses.
ProCut Cad/Cam Software
Live Monitoring With IRIS
Maximizing uptime and increasing productivity are essential for our customers. Therefore, Esprit worked to develop an in-house solution called IRIS. This system allows you to monitor your Esprit cutting machine in real-time, track the amount of pierces per consumable and check your cutting efficiency 24 hours a day.
“Thanks to our four Esprit Lightning HD1500 x 6.5 m machines the quality and quantity of BM catalysts being produced has increased exponentially.”
