Inoue Kouzai raises productivity with Hypertherm's X-Definition plasma system

Inoue Kouzai, a Japanese manufacturer of steel and non-ferrous parts, needed a cutting system that could handle various metals and thicknesses without compromising on quality. The company sought to boost its operational efficiency and improve cut quality to meet increasing customer demand and tackle a backlog of orders. They turned to Hypertherm for a solution.

Hypertherm implemented its XPR300 X-Definition plasma system. This solution provided significantly improved cutting speed and edge quality, which allowed Inoue Kouzai to catch up on back-orders and increase productivity. The system also tripled consumable life, dramatically lowering operating costs. The team at Inoue Kouzai was highly pleased with the consistent, quality results and the production rate achieved with the Hypertherm system.
