Powermax105 plasma system
The Powermax105® plasma system has the duty cycle and performance needed for tough industrial cutting and gouging jobs. Delivering superior cut capabilities on 32 mm (1-1/4") thick metals, it also offers the latest technological innovations, such as Smart Sense™ technology to automatically adjust the gas pressure. Seven Duramax™ torch styles provide versatility for hand cutting, portable automation, X-Y table cutting, and robotic cutting and gouging.
System information
Applications
Drag cutting
For dragging the torch directly across the work piece

Extended reach cutting
For improved visibility & accessibility when cutting in confined spaces

Extended reach gouging
For improved visibility & accessibility when gouging in confined spaces

Fine feature cutting
For narrow kerf width with minimal dross and heat affected zone

Flush cutting
For cutting closer to base materials using a 45 degree

Max control gouging
For precise metal removal, shallower gouge profiles and light metal washing

Max removal gouging
For aggressive metal removal, deep gouge profiles and extreme metal washing

Mechanized cutting
For portable automation and table cutting

Unsupported applications

Precision gouging
For spot and tack weld removal at very low output current (<25 A)

Benefits
Maximum productivity
- Finish jobs faster with cut speeds three times greater than oxyfuel on 12 mm (1/2") mild steel
- Superior cut and gouge quality let you spend less time on grinding and edge preparation
- Multiple, easy-to-use torch styles let you tackle a wide variety of jobs using the same system

Easy-to-use for cutting and gouging
- No need to change the air pressure – Smart Sense technology ensures that it is always correctly set; 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
- SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent starting and a more reliable torch
- Drag cut at full output with a patented shield that reduces dross buildup for smoother cutting
Built to handle tough jobs
- Hypertherm Certified™ reliability ensures peak performance even in the harshest environments
- Duramax torches are designed for high-impact and heat resistance
