Powermax SYNCTM air plasma cutting and gouging systems from Hypertherm is now available.
Featuring built-in intelligence and ‘revolutionary’ single-piece cartridge consumables, Hypertherm says Powermax SYNC simplifies system operation, streamlines consumable inventory, lowers operating costs, and maximises performance for customers in the shipbuilding, construction and machinery, structural steel, or transportation industries.
Powermax SYNC and its SmartSYNCTM torch replaces the traditional five-piece consumable stack-up with an ‘easy-to-identify’ single-piece cartridge consumable that is colour-coded by process to eliminate confusion and simplify consumable inventory management. Technology embedded in each cartridge automatically sets the correct amperage, air pressure, and operating mode and displays a prompt when a new cartridge is needed.
Additionally, controls on the SmartSYNC torch allow operators to adjust the amperage and change the cartridge without returning to the power supply.
The Hypertherm cartridge for Powermax systems is manufactured as a single piece to ensure that all parts are perfectly aligned and optimised for the best possible performance, promises the manufacturer. As a result, the cartridge will ‘last up to twice as long’ and deliver cleaner cuts when compared with traditional consumables. It can even track data – such as start and arc-on time — to identify trends, enhance the efficiency of cutting processes, and to improve end-of-life detection.
