Plazmax is an Authorised Hypertherm OEM Channel Partner. We supply Powermax SYNC cutting consumables for all Plazmax cutting systems as well as for any other brand of CNC, track cutter or robotic cell running a Powermax SYNC power source.
The SYNC series replaced the multi-piece consumable stack with one cartridge. There is no electrode, swirl ring, nozzle, retaining cap and shield to order separately and assemble - one part number is the whole consumable.
| Part number | Amperage | Process | Materials | Plasma gas | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 428925 | 45 A | Mechanised cutting | Mild steel, stainless, aluminium | Air, F5 on stainless | Powermax45/65/85/105 SYNC |
| 428930 | 65 A | Mechanised cutting | Mild steel, stainless, aluminium | Air, F5 on stainless | Powermax65/85/105 SYNC |
| 428934 | 85 A | Mechanised cutting | Mild steel, stainless, aluminium | Air, F5 on stainless | Powermax85/105 SYNC |
| 428936 | 105 A | Mechanised cutting | Mild steel, stainless, aluminium | Air, F5 on stainless | Powermax105 SYNC |
| 428926 | 30 - 45 A | Mechanised FineCut | Mild steel, stainless | Air | Powermax45/65/85/105 SYNC |
| 528079 | 65 A | Mechanised HyAccess | Mild steel, aluminium | Air | Powermax65/85/105 SYNC |
A cartridge always fits upward, never downward. The 65 A cartridge runs in a Powermax65, 85 or 105 SYNC. The 105 A cartridge only runs in a Powermax105 SYNC. Fitting a higher rated cartridge to a smaller power supply does not unlock more amperage - a 105 A cartridge in a Powermax65 SYNC is limited to 65 amps by the power supply.
Hypertherm does not recommend cutting aluminium with FineCut cartridges, and does not recommend F5 with FineCut cartridges.
| Part number | Description | Fits |

| 428895 | SmartSYNC ohmic sensing ring kit, set of 3, machine torch | Powermax45/65/85/105 SYNC |
The ohmic sensing ring is what connects a mechanised cartridge to a torch height control system for initial height sensing. It clips onto the cartridge, and the tabs on the ring must touch the shoulder of the cartridge to sense correctly. A ring that is not fully seated is a common and easily missed cause of inconsistent pierce height.
| Part number | Torch | Lead length |
|---|---|---|
| 059719 | Full length machine torch | 7.6 m (25 ft) |
| 059720 | Full length machine torch | 10.7 m (35 ft) |
| 059721 | Full length machine torch | 15 m (50 ft) |
| 059722 | Full length machine torch | 23 m (75 ft) |
| 059733 | Mini machine torch | 4.6 m (15 ft) |
| 059734 | Mini machine torch | 7.6 m (25 ft) |
| 059735 | Mini machine torch | 15 m (50 ft) |
The mini machine torch has a shorter body than the full length torch and suits tight gantry installations and robotic mounting. Both take the same cartridges.
These cartridges are matched to the power source, not to the table. If your table runs a Powermax45 SYNC, Powermax65 SYNC, Powermax85 SYNC or Powermax105 SYNC power supply, these are the correct cartridges whatever the brand of CNC cutting system, and whether that table came from us or from another manufacturer.
These cartridges also run on older Powermax systems using a cartridge adapter. Hypertherm part 428951 converts a Duramax or Duramax Lock machine or robotic torch on a Powermax45 XP, Powermax65, Powermax85 or Powermax105 to the cartridge platform, so the same cartridges listed here will fit. Match the cartridge to your power supply's output: a Powermax65 tops out at 65 A, so the 85 A and 105 A cartridges suit the larger systems only.
Two things worth knowing before you order the adapter. It adds 17.5 mm (0.69 inch) to the torch length, which affects your torch holder and Z axis clearance, so check your setup first. It also has no cartridge data connection, so you do not get the automatic process setup or the consumable life tracking that a SYNC system gives you through a SmartSYNC torch. Hypertherm does not recommend the adapter on Duramax retrofit torches for Powermax1000, 1250 or 1650, and it is not compatible with Duramax Hyamp standard or long style torches.
