Powermax45 SYNC® plasma cutter

Easy to use

  • Cartridges feature clear laser marking and colour coding for easy identification by process, preventing part mix-ups.
  • Smart SYNC torches and cartridges with RFID technology automatically configure the correct amperage and operating mode, eliminating setup errors.
  • End-of-life consumable detection removes uncertainty about when to replace the cartridge.
  • The new flexible lead reduces strain and operator fatigue when using hand torches; it shares the robustness of our previous lead jacket material and will also be used on robotic torches.

Performer

  • Versatility: Handle a wide range of tasks with ease using interchangeable torch styles and application-specific cartridges for various cutting and gouging needs.
  • Enhanced Cartridge Design: Our optimized cartridge consumables offer up to twice the lifespan for handheld cutting and improved quality over time in mechanized setups, surpassing standard consumables.
  • Efficient Torch Controls: Save time by adjusting amperage on the fly and seamlessly changing cartridges and applications without needing to return to the power supply

Rugged and reliable

  • Robust Design: SmartSYNC torches are purpose-built for rugged, industrial environments.
  • Reliable Starting: SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent torch ignition, enhancing reliability.
  • Minimized Downtime: Industry-leading reliability reduces production downtime.
