The Hypertherm Powermax45 SYNC is a professional-grade plasma cutting system built for versatility, reliability, and ease of use. Designed for fabricators, contractors, and serious DIY users, this system delivers powerful cutting, gouging, and marking capabilities in one compact unit.

Featuring Hypertherm’s patented single-piece SmartSYNC® cartridge system, the Powermax45 SYNC eliminates setup errors, reduces training time, and significantly lowers consumable costs. Advanced torch communication automatically optimizes performance, ensuring consistent, high-quality cuts every time.

Whether you are hand cutting, operating a CNC table, or performing precision marking, this system delivers industry-leading performance with minimal downtime.

Applications

• CNC plasma tables
• Fabrication shops
• Automotive and off-road builds
• HVAC and mechanical work
• Agricultural and equipment maintenance

Cut Capacity and Performance

• Recommended cut capacity: 5/8" (16 mm)
• Severance cut capacity: 1-1/8" (29 mm)
• Pierce capacity: 1/2" (12 mm)
• Cut speed at 5/8": approximately 20 ipm (500 mm/min)
• Gouging capability: approximately 7.5 lbs/hr metal removal

This system provides clean, production-quality cuts on most common steel thicknesses, with the ability to handle thicker material when required.

Power Requirements

• Input voltage options:
  • 200–240V, single phase
  • 480V, three phase
  • 230V / 400V (regional variants)
• Input current (typical at 240V):
  • Approximately 39A at full output
• Output range:
  • 9–45 amps
• Rated output power:
  • 6.9 kW
• Duty cycle (240V single phase):
  • 50% at 45A
  • 100% at 32A
• Generator requirement:
  • 12.5 kVA (10 kW)
• Air requirements:
  • Clean, dry air at approximately 90 PSI (6.7 SCFM)

In most shop environments, the system can be operated on a standard 240V circuit, though a 40–50A breaker is recommended for full performance.
