Item Details

  • The Hypertherm Powermax30 XP Mechanized Plasma System (Part Number: 088178) is an industrial-grade plasma cutting and gouging architecture designed for automated, light-duty CNC applications. This system is engineered for low-cost operation in hobbyist and light industrial environments, featuring a single-phase, dual-voltage power supply and a dedicated 15-foot Duramax LT 180° mechanized torch. The system utilizes an inverter-based design to provide high-power cutting and precision FineCut capabilities on various conductive metals including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Features

  • Two-in-One Operational Versatility: Dual-capability design for high-power heavy metal parting and FineCut precision for narrow kerf widths on thin sheet metal.
  • Auto-Voltage Technology: Internal inverter controller automatically detects and adapts to input line voltage from 120V to 240V without manual link shifting.
  • Duramax LT 180° Mechanized Torch: Straight machine torch constructed with fiber-reinforced polymers for high thermal radiation and mechanical stress resistance.
  • Laminar Gas Flow Stabilization: Proprietary electrode and swirl ring geometries to maximize arc stability.
  • Continuous Pilot Arc Re-ignition: Micro-controller architecture allows cutting through rust, paint, scale, and expanded metal without cycling the start signal.
  • Package Inventory: Includes Powermax30 XP power source, 15ft Duramax LT mechanized torch, 15ft work clamp, starter consumable kit (standard and FineCut), and 120V/240V plug adapters.
