Hypertherm Powermax45 SYNC Plasma Cutter, 20 ft Hand Torch, CPC Port, 088562
The Hypertherm Powermax45 SYNC plasma cutter uses RFID torch communication for automatic setup and single-piece cartridges that cover hand, mechanized and robotic cutting as well as marking and gouging. This 230 V CSA hand system has a 75° hand torch on a 20 ft lead and a CPC communication port, with 9-45 A of output and a 5/8 in. (16 mm) recommended cut.
Input is 200-240 V single-phase at 50-60 Hz, drawing 39/32 A at 200-230 V, and a motor generator needs 12.5 kVA or 10 kW for the full arc. Recommended cutting is 5/8 in. (16 mm) at 20 ipm, hand-cutting severance is 1-1/8 in. (29 mm) at 5 ipm, and the system cuts aluminum, mild steel and stainless steel. It has a CPC communication interface port and divided arc voltage ratios of 20:1, 21.1:1, 30:1, 40:1 and 50:1.
Laser-marked, color-coded cartridges are easy to tell apart by process, the system detects end-of-life cartridges, and cartridge usage data helps with inventory control. The power supply is an IGBT inverter with a 275 VDC open circuit voltage, an IP23S rating and a 10 ft (3 m) power cable, and it measures 17.4 x 6.8 x 14.0 in. with handle. Industries served include metal fabrication, construction, HVAC, agriculture, shipbuilding and structural steel.
