The top of the lineup, built for heavy plate and full production. This system (Hypertherm part #087192) pairs the Powermax85 SYNC power supply, fully equipped for automation with a CPC port, voltage divider and serial port, and a 25 ft 180° SmartSYNC machine torch. Like every plasma cutter from Garage Fab HQ, it comes with our GFHQ CNC Com Cable, so you can connect it to your table controller right away.
The Powermax85 SYNC cuts 1" plate at production speed and handles 1-1/4" at 10 inches per minute. Its RFID SmartSYNC torch reads each single-piece cartridge and sets the amperage and mode automatically, so setup errors go away and cartridge changes take seconds. The system tells you when a cartridge is worn out. It also runs on almost any shop power, from 200V to 480V single-phase or 200V to 600V three-phase.
