Powermax Sync Section

A dramatically simplified consumable platform combined with advanced torch communication for automated setup makes Hypertherm’s new Powermax65/85/105 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.

Minimizes oparating 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 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.
