Powermax85 SYNC plasma cutter
The Powermax85 SYNC® is a next-generation professional grade air plasma cutter that dramatically simplifies system operation for gouging and recommended cutting up to 25 mm (1″). Features automated system process set-up via advanced RFID-enabled SmartSYNC® torches and a revolutionary single-piece cartridge consumable that provides trackable utilization data. The Powermax85 SYNC maximizes productivity through reductions in downtime, optimized cut quality performance and streamlined consumable inventory management.
Applications
Drag cutting
For dragging the torch directly across the work piece

Extended reach cutting
For improved visibility and accessibility when cutting in confined spaces

Extended reach gouging
For improved visibility and accessibility when gouging in confined spaces

For narrow kerf width with minimal dross and heat affected zone

Flush cutting
For cutting closer to base materials using a 45 degree

Max control gouging
For precise metal removal, shallower gouge profiles and light metal washing

Max removal gouging
For aggressive metal removal, deep gouge profiles, and extreme metal washing

Mechanized cutting
For portable automation and table cutting

Unsupported applications
