powermax1000

The Powermax1000's Auto-voltage™ circuit provides automatic adjustment to any input voltage from 200 to 600 volts, 1- or 3-phase (CE 230 to 400 V 3-phase only). A state-ofthe- art, microprocessor-based architecture assures optimum system reliability. Add to this Hypertherm's advanced torch technology and easy-to-read controls, and you have the most advanced plasma cutter money can buy.

* Note: Take care in comparison: competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts, as shown above. Cut speeds listed above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.

** ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The lower the range (range 1 is the lowest), the smaller the angle on the cut face. Cut angle in range 4 is better than in range 5.

Powermax1000 T60M Mechanized Torch Consumables

The power supply: the heart of the machine Advanced, intelligent technology gives the Powermax1000 the power to cut with greater speed, quality and efficiency. 60-amp, 8.4-kilowatt output provides ample power for clean, quick cutting. Auto-voltage runs on voltages from 200 to 600 volts, 1- or 3-phase, (CE 230 to 400 V 3-phase only) without the need for manual rewiring. New Boost ConditionerT circuit compensates for input voltage variation. Advanced, digitally-controlled inverter design delivers continuously adjustable, constant current output from 20 to 60 amps, permitting high-quality cuts over a wide range of metal thicknesses. An active electronic pilot arc controller for cutting expanded metal or grating. New gouging setting for easier operation and faster metal removal. CNC/robotic machine interface is standard on all units, allowing automated control and rapid changeover to mechanized operation.

The torch: intelligent design combines performance, durability, comfort and safety The Powermax1000 features Hypertherm's patented T60 safety trigger torch and T60M mechanized torch, which deliver outstanding cut performance, reliability and operator comfort.The longest consumable life in the industry, and we'll prove it. Patented HyLife electrodes last longer than ordinary designs. Patented Dual-thresholdT pilot circuit significantly reduces nozzle wear by boosting pilot current precisely when needed.

Patented nozzle shield lets you drag the torch on the workpiece at full output, without damaging consumables, and protects the nozzle from molten metal spray and double arcing. Postflow cooling reduces torch stress. Hypertherm's patented Coaxial-assistT jet design boosts cutting speed as much as 20% over conventional designs. Hypertherm's ETRT (Easy Torch Removal) system allows for easy switching between manual and mechanized torches. It also features a strain relief designed for durability. Hypertherm's patented safety trigger protects against accidental starts. Interlocks deactivate the torch when the consumable parts are removed, using a durable mechanical contact.

No breakable ceramic parts. Patented "blow-back" technology provides a pilot arc without excessive high-frequency interference. Consumables for gouging, extended-nozzle cutting, pipe saddle cutting and other applications.
Engineered for superior reliability The Powermax1000 is designed for heavy use under the harshest conditions. Mechanical and electrical designs are validated through aggressive, accelerated testing. New fan-on-demand feature minimizes dust ingestion. Chemically cross-linked torch cable jacket provides improved resistance to molten spray and cut-through. CSA/NRTL and CE certifications comply with the highest safety standards. IP23CS compliance for resistance to water damage. The Powermax1000 is backed by a full three-year power supply warranty and a one-year torch warranty. No parts excluded. Examine competitive policies closely.
