Plasma Systems with Built-In Intelligence



Hypertherm offers three new air plasma systems called Powermax SYNC.

"Featuring built-in intelligence and a single-piece cartridge consumable, this next generation of Powermax65/85/105 systems is unlike any other plasma," said a company spokesperson.

Powermax SYNC and its SmartSYNC torch replaces the traditional five-piece consumable stack-up with a single color-coded cartridge. Technology embedded in each cartridge automatically sets the correct amperage, air pressure and operating mode and lets operators know when a new cartridge is needed. Controls on the SmartSYNC torch allow operators to adjust the amperage and change the cartridge without returning to the power supply.

The cartridge is manufactured as a single piece so everything within it is aligned and optimized. "As a result, the Hypertherm cartridge for Powermax systems will last up to twice as long and deliver cleaner cuts versus traditional consumables," said the spokesperson. The cartridge can track data, like starts and arc-on time, to identify trends and make a user's operation more efficient.

"The Powermax SYNC series delivers ease of use, a lower operating cost and better performance," said Erik Brine, General Manager of Hypertherm's Powermax team. "This simplified operation serves to help fabricators address many of the toughest challenges they face today by eliminating operator errors, downtime, troubleshooting, waste and training time, while offering the same industry-leading reliability all Powermax systems are known for."

In keeping with Hypertherm's commitment to offer technology updates to owners of its older plasma systems, Hypertherm engineers have developed an adapter for Duramax and Duramax Lock torches. This will enable owners of the Powermax45 XP and Powermax65/85/105 to utilize some benefits of the cartridge consumable platform, such as faster changeouts, easier ordering and inventory tracking, longer life and improved cut quality.
