In high-stakes fabrication environments, the difference between a "good enough" cut and a precision weld-ready bevel often lies in the quality of the consumables. The HALANSM® Bevel Consumables Series represents the pinnacle of precision engineering for the Hypertherm HPRXD platform. This comprehensive suite of replacement parts is meticulously designed to meet the rigorous thermal demands of thick plate cutting while delivering substantial cost savings over OEM alternatives.
Engineering Precision for Complex Geometries
Creating a clean, angled bevel requires exacting tolerances across the entire plasma torch stack. The HALANSM® Bevel series utilizes premium materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure unwavering arc stability. Whether you are running a high-amperage 400A bevel cut or a complex multi-torch coping operation, these components provide the necessary rigidity and gas flow dynamics to eliminate dross and ensure weld-ready edges every time.
Application & Equipment Compatibility Matrix
This series is engineered to integrate seamlessly across the HPRXD family, offering fabricators the flexibility to optimize their existing machinery for diverse production needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use the HALANSM® 400A Bevel Nozzle (220632) on my HPR260XD torch?
A: No. The 400A components are specifically engineered for the higher thermal loads and physical dimensions of the HPR400XD system. However, HALANSM® offers a dedicated 260A Bevel Nozzle (220542) that is the correct drop-in replacement for the HPR260XD, ensuring optimal performance without risking damage to your equipment.
Q: Why is the Inner Shield different between the 200A and 400A bevel systems?
A: As amperage increases, the volume of gas and the intensity of the plasma arc increase exponentially. The inner shields for the 400A bevel system feature a larger diameter and revised gas ports to accommodate this increased flow, whereas the 200A version is compactly designed to fit the smaller torch bodies while still maintaining the precise angle required for the bevel cut.
Q: What are the signs that I need to replace my entire consumable stack?
A: The most obvious sign is a dramatic increase in dross and a significant reduction in cutting speed. However, even before these symptoms appear, it is good practice to replace the nozzle, swirl ring, and electrode together. A worn swirl ring can misalign the nozzle, causing the electrode to burn unevenly and drastically shortening its life.
