Component-replacement schedule and its significance

This is a list of components and their usual replacement schedule. The schedule uses arc hours to make an estimate of when to replace a component. The use of arc hours is the most accurate method to make an estimate of when to replace a component.

If you do not have a Hypertherm®Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and your CNC cannot monitor arc hours, use the information below to make an estimate of arc hours per year. This guide uses the usual number of eight-hour shifts that the system operates during a usual work day. For more information about how to calculate arc hours, speak to your cutting machine supplier or regional Hypertherm Tech Service team.

Number of shifts per day Number of arc hours per year
1 500
2 1,000
3 1,500

Your cutting area and operations can have an effect on this schedule. Refer to Conditions that have an effect on replacement schedules.

Keep information about your system and its replacement requirements in the these locations:
