The Powermax45 SYNC plasma cutter offers the best return on investment for metal workers seeking versatility. With its patented single-piece cartridge, up to five times longer consumable life, and superior cutting power compared to higher-amperage competitors, it’s the ideal choice for gouging, cutting, and marking.
Recommended cut capacity of 16 mm (5/8″)
Severance capacity of 29 mm (1 1/8″)
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.
