Powermax Plasma Cutting Machines

Manual Plasma Cutters

Understanding Plasma Technology

Powermax  Plasma Cutters system cut metal quickly, and cleanly

Plasma Cutters, and its intense heat (up to 22,000C), is created when gas is ionized by electrical energy. Powermax systems use plasma to melt metal, and compressed air or nitrogen to blow the molten metal away, leaving a good quality cut edge ready to weld in most cases. Powermax systems are also effective for gouging metal.

Powermax 30 Air

The new Powermax30® AIR delivers high performance in a compact, portable package. With a built in air compressor, it’s the smallest, lightest handheld plasma cutting system in its class so you can take the Powermax30 AIR to where the work is rather than bring the work to the system. Because it’s highly portable, it can be used for a wider range of applications. It’s also simple to setup and operate. You can plug it into any 120 or 240V circuit with the supplied adapter plugs.

Powermax 105

The Hypertherm Powermax 105 delivers superior cut capabilities on 1-1/4″ (32 mm) thick metals. It has the duty cycle and industrial performance necessary for tough cutting and gouging jobs. Seven Duramax 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 to the workpiece.

Powermax 125

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

Operating a plasma system requires

  • AC power source (fixed or generator)
  • Compressed air – shop air, portable air compressor or bottled air. Nitrogen is often used for stainless steel.
  • Safety equipment, including shaded glasses or face shield, gloves, protective clothing and proper ventilation.

Cut or gouge any electrically conductive metal
Whether in a shop, factory, at home or in the field, Powermax plasma cutters system cut and gouge all metal types and forms. Most models are available with a handheld or machine torch to fit the application.
