Hypertherm Associates (Hanover, NH) announces the launch of the newest member of the Powermax SYNC family, the Powermax45 SYNC plasma cutter.
The company says the new product has unmatched cutting power compared to higher-amperage competitors and the patented, single-piece Powermax cartridge provides up to five times longer consumable life than the competition. The cartridge reduces training time, eliminates operator error, and simplifies operations. Advanced torch communication for automated setup improves cut quality. Customers can easily set up the Powermax45 SYNC for mechanized usage with optional CNC interface and FastConnect torch connection.
The newly launched plasma cutter expands application capabilities with a wide variety of specialty cartridges and torches. Also, it can cut and mark using the same FineCut cartridge. Cartridge usage data provides insights for improving cutting operations and consumable inventory management. RFID-enabled SmartSYNC torches and cartridges automatically set the correct amperage and operating mode, eliminating setup errors.
System applications include:
- Drag cutting
- Fine feature cutting
- Max control gouging
- Max removal gouging
- Mechanized cutting
- Marking
Another notable feature includes SpringStart technology, which ensures consistent starting and a more reliable torch. The hand torch controls allow the operator to adjust the amperage on the fly, change cartridges and applications without returning to the power supply.
