Hypertherm Powermax 125 Overview:

With the maximum power and performance for air plasma, the new Hypertherm Powermax 125 cuts fast and thick. A 100% duty cycle, a 1″ (25 mm) mechanized pierce capability, and a gouging metal removal rate of 27.6 lbs/hr (12.52 kg/hr) make the Powermax125 the tool for any industrial cutting and gouging job.

New Duramax Hyamp torch styles provide versatility for hand cutting, portable automation, x-y table cutting, and robotic cutting and gouging. Smart Sense™ technology automatically adjusts the gas pressure according to cutting mode and torch lead length. It also detects electrode end-of-life, automatically turning off power to the torch to prevent potential damage to other parts or the workpiece.
