Powermax45 XP Plasma System

Meet the newest member of our best-selling line of Powermax® portable plasma systems.

The Powermax45® XP delivers increased cut capacity – up to 16 mm metal – as well as faster cut speeds, and automatic gas adjustment for quick, simple setup and operation. New Duramax® Lock torches support handheld and mechanized cutting of a wider range of metal thicknesses, along with precision gouging such as spot weld removal, and marking capabilities.

Easy to use:
– Small size and light weight provide exceptional portability for a 16 mm rated cutting system
– Patented drag-cutting technology makes the Powermax45 XP easy to use – even for first-time operators
– Smart Sense™ technology ensures that air pressure is always correctly set

Outstanding versatility:
– CNC interface and FastConnect™ torch connection allows both handheld and mechanized operation
– A wide range of torch and consumable styles to choose from for both handheld and automated processes
– Extensive array of application capabilities via specialty consumables for fine feature cutting, extended reach cutting, gouging, precision gouging, and marking

Maximum productivity:
– Finish jobs faster, with cut speeds 1.5 times greater than oxyfuel on 6 mm mild steel
– Superior cut and gouge quality reduces time for grinding and edge preparation
– New torch disable switch feature allows faster, easier changeout of consumables

Rugged and reliable:
– Duramax® Lock torches are designed for high-impact and heat resistance
– SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent starting and optimum torch performance
– Hypertherm Certified™ reliability ensures peak performance even in the most demanding environments

Designed for low environmental impact:
– Plasma cutting efficiency is 11% better than its predecessor, enabling you to cut more steel with less power, in less time
– All plasma system components are recyclable
– 14% lighter than its predecessor and delivers more cutting power
