Hypertherm's Powermax SYNC plasma systems feature built-in intelligence, single-piece cartridge consumable

Hypertherm has introduced three new air plasma systems called Powermax SYNC. This next generation of Powermax65/85/105 systems features built-in intelligence and a single-piece cartridge consumable.

The plasma system 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. Additionally, controls on the 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 perfectly aligned and optimized, the company said. The cartridge can even track data, like starts and arc-on time, to identify trends and make a user’s operation more efficient.
