A dramatically simplified consumable platform combined with advanced torch communication for automated setup makes Hypertherm’s new Powermax85 SYNC® plasma systems the smarter choice for any cutting or gouging application.

Easy to use

  • Easy to identify single-piece cartridge consumables are color coded by process to eliminate parts mix-up and simplify consumable inventory management.
  • New SmartSYNC™ torches with the Hypertherm cartridge automatically set the correct amperage and operating mode, eliminating setup errors.
  • End of life detection lets the operator know when it’s time 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.

Minimize operation costs

  • Simplified operation minimizes downtime, troubleshooting, waste and training time
  • Advanced cartridge consumable design provides up to twice the life for hand cutting and improved quality over life in mechanized setups compared to standard consumables.
  • Access cartridge data for performance tracking, analyzing usage patterns.

Maximize performance

  • Tackle a wide range of jobs with easily interchangeable torch styles and application-specific Hypertherm cartridge consumables for various types of cutting and gouging
  • Reduce training time with simplified set up and consistent performance.
  • Time-saving torch controls allow the operator to adjust the amperage on the fly and change consumables and applications without returning to the power supply.

Industry-leading reliability

  • SmartSYNC™ torches are engineered for rugged, industrial environments
  • SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent starting and a more reliable torch.
  • Industry-leading reliability reduces production downtime.
