HYPERTHERM SHIELD CAP:HYPRO2000 O2/AIR CLOCKWISE W IHS TAB

Product Overview

The Hypertherm 220936 Shield Cap is a genuine OEM plasma torch consumable engineered specifically for the HyPro2000 and MAXPRO200 mechanized plasma cutting systems running in O2/Air gas configuration. This clockwise-threaded shield cap is equipped with an integrated IHS (Initial Heat Sensing) tab, which allows the torch to detect contact with the workpiece for accurate, repeatable cut-height sensing — a critical feature for automated and CNC plasma cutting applications.

As a precision-machined shield component, this cap works alongside the nozzle, electrode, and swirl ring to protect the torch tip, contain the plasma arc, and maintain consistent gas flow during cutting operations, directly supporting clean cut quality and extended consumable life.
