Hypertherm, a U.S. based manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems, announced the launch of new Powermax45 XP—successor to its best-seller Powermax.

Delivering 6.5 kW of output power, the new system is powerful, allowing it to cleanly cut material up to 5/8 inch (16 mm) in thickness, and sever material of nearly twice that thickness. Similar to its Powermax45, the Powermax45 XP is even more versatile, the company claims. A new low-amp process makes it easy to mark, score, and make precision gouges, while the lighter design makes it more portable. The versatility is further enhanced by the availability of 11 different torch styles for handheld and mechanised use plus a variety of consumable types for specialised cutting and gouging applications.

The system comes with many Hypertherm only technological innovations including an all new Duramax Lock torch which has a torch disable switch for quick replacement of consumables, a FastConnect torch to quickly switch between different torches, and Smart Sense technology that automatically adjusts gas pressure and flow for optimal performance.
