Instructors talk about advantages of Powermax SYNC plasma cutters

Education

Benefits like avoiding consumable loading mistakes, quicker part change-outs, better cut quality, and longer consumable life. The system makes it easier for students to learn and make changes as they complete their jobs. Instructors claim it is more cost-effective because the cartridge data lets them see when the cartridge is ready to change out, taking the guesswork out of plasma consumables.
Salt Creek Fab, United States

“We’re very impressed with the machine's cut quality and we love the cartridges. The cartridge life span far exceeds our older machine’s consumables, and it takes seconds to replace. The cartridge saves the hassle of pulling the torch apart to diagnose which one of the consumable parts failed.”

“Our operation became much faster and cheaper after we acquired the Powermax SYNC, as in addition to being able to work with a single cartridge for many hours, we can also get information about the cuts we have made to further optimize our processes.” - Aço e Ferro

“I’ve been using the new Powermax65 SYNC since last summer. Honestly, I can’t even put into words how freaking rad this thing is. Since the day I got it, I’ve been dying to use it on a car. Granted the 45XP is great but this, this is going to completely change the industry. One cartridge. No slag, beautiful lines, even fine ones. So if you’re on the fence about getting one, let this be your sign to just go for it!”

“With this machine you can cut anywhere you go...you just need the right consumable in your pocket. You can just do your job!”
