Hypertherm and PT Great Dynamic Indonesia Showcase Advanced Plasma Automation Solutions in Batam
In July 2026, Hypertherm and PT Great Dynamic Indonesia hosted an Open House at the partner's Demo Centre in Batam, Indonesia, bringing together fabricators, manufacturers, and metalworking professionals to explore the latest plasma cutting, gouging, beveling, and automation applications powered by Powermax® systems. The event focused on practical, application-driven solutions designed to help manufacturers improve cutting performance, process consistency, and operational efficiency across a variety of fabrication and maintenance environments.
Demonstrating the Versatility of Powermax
Throughout the event, attendees experienced live demonstrations showcasing how Powermax technology can support multiple applications beyond conventional handheld cutting.
One of the key demonstrations featured semi-automatic cutting, gouging, and bevel cutting using a Powermax system mounted on a track carriage. By combining the versatility of air plasma with mechanized motion, the solution demonstrated how fabricators can achieve consistent results for straight-line cutting, weld preparation, and gouging applications. This approach provides an effective option for manufacturers seeking improved process control while maintaining the flexibility required for a wide range of fabrication tasks.
Attendees also observed Powermax gouging applications used for weld removal, defect correction, and surface preparation. Bevel cutting demonstrations further highlighted the ability of plasma technology to support weld-ready edge preparation, helping manufacturers streamline downstream fabrication processes.
First Cobot Plasma Showcase in Batam
The highlight of the event was the introduction of Cobot Plasma technology, marking the first public showcase of the solution in Batam, Indonesia.
By integrating a collaborative robot with Hypertherm Powermax technology, manufacturers can automate plasma cutting, beveling, and gouging applications while maintaining the flexibility required for a broad range of part sizes and geometries.
During the live demonstration, attendees witnessed Cobot Plasma performing 3D cutting, bevel cutting, and gouging applications. The system showcased how collaborative automation can be applied to complex cutting paths and multi-angle processing tasks that are often challenging to perform consistently using manual methods.
The ability to perform multiple processes on a single platform attracted strong interest from participants looking to expand their application capabilities and explore practical approaches to plasma automation. As one of the first demonstrations of its kind in Batam, the showcase provided valuable insights into how collaborative robotic technology can be applied to fabrication, repair, maintenance, and industrial manufacturing applications.
Sharing Insights on Plasma Automation
In addition to the live application demonstrations, Hypertherm team delivered a presentation on Plasma Automation Solutions, sharing industry insights and application examples that illustrated the growing role of plasma automation in modern manufacturing. Participants also had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with Powermax systems and observe firsthand the performance of cutting, gouging, and beveling applications.
Expanding Plasma Application Possibilities
From semi-automatic cutting and gouging on a track carriage system to advanced cobot-enabled 3D cutting and beveling, the demonstrations showcased the broad range of applications that can be achieved with Powermax technology. The event provided manufacturers with practical insights into how plasma solutions continue to evolve to support fabrication, maintenance, repair, and automation requirements across a variety of industries.
By combining proven plasma technology with application expertise and automation innovations, Hypertherm and channel partners continue to help manufacturers explore new ways to improve productivity, enhance process capability, and address increasingly complex cutting challenges.
