Powermax SYNC products

Simplify operations and boost productivity

Simplified system operation minimizes the time and costs spent on training and troubleshooting.

Reductions to downtime during consumable change-outs and elimination of costs associated with premature disposal of consumable parts.

Cartridge usage data provides valuable insights for improving cutting operations and consumable inventory management.

Powermax SYNC products

Easy to use

Cartridges are easy to identify by process with clear laser marking and color coding to eliminate part mix-ups. RFID-enabled SmartSYNC torches and cartridges automatically set the correct amperage and operating mode, eliminating setup errors.

End-of-life consumable detection eliminates the uncertainty of knowing when to change the cartridge. Less operator fatigue when using hand torches with our new flexible lead. The lead has the same robustness of our previous lead jacket material and will also be used on robotic torches.

Powermax SYNC products

Maximize performance

Tackle a wide range of jobs with easily interchangeable torch styles and application specific cartridges for various types of cutting and gouging.

Optimized cartridge consumable design provides up to twice the life for handheld cutting and improved quality over life in mechanized setups compared to standard consumables.

Time-saving hand torch controls allow the operator to adjust the amperage on the fly, change cartridges and applications without returning to the power supply.

Hypertherm cartridges

The Hypertherm cartridge consumable platform is a revolutionary change to standard air plasma consumables. Each single-piece cartridge is optimized by process and amperage to ensure performance while dramatically simplifying the parts needed to cut or gouge with plasma.

Hypertherm cartridges for Powermax systems are manufactured to uphold our high standards for quality and reliability. As part of the manufacturing process, we test-fire each cartridge to ensure proper assembly and function. As a result, there may be burn marks on the tip of the cartridge. This is normal and not a sign of damage.
