To add to the broad application lineup and versatility of Powermax® systems, Hypertherm Associates introduces HyAccess™ cartridges for Powermax SYNC®. The launch of the HyAccess cartridge means Powermax SYNC customers are now able to use the full breadth of the Powermax specialty consumables family of products. HyAccess cartridges are available in three versions: Drag cut, Gouge, and for the first time, Mechanized cut. The mechanized cutting HyAccess cartridges are designed with robotic cutting applications in mind which is a growing market for plasma.
Like all Hypertherm cartridges for Powermax SYNC, the HyAccess cartridge is a single-piece consumable. The cartridge simplifies use of the plasma system by eliminating common consumable selection and installation mistakes often caused by multiple-piece consumable stack-ups. When using the HyAccess cartridge with the SmartSYNC torch on Powermax SYNC, the three components automatically set the system’s amperage, air pressure, and mode to ensure the best possible outcomes. In addition, the HyAccess cartridge is equipped with RFID technology that records cutting data that can be read from the power supply or with a cartridge reader (part number 528083). This data can be used by operators to better understand their cutting performance.
For Powermax65, Powermax85, and Powermax105 users, the HyAccess cartridge can be used on their systems by installing the cartridge adapter (part number 428951). The HyAccess cartridge will provide the same excellent performance as HyAccess stack-up consumables, while offering the ease of use of a single-piece.
Since Hypertherm Associates introduced HyAccess consumables, customers in a wide variety of industries have used them to increase the versatility of their Powermax systems. HyAccess consumables and cartridges provide extra length and a narrower profile for cutting and gouging in hard-to-reach places, enabling the user to complete jobs with plasma instead of less efficient tools.
HyAccess cartridges will be available to order starting on April 11, 2023. Hypertherm Associates will continue selling the Duramax® Hyamp™ long torches for use with the Powermax125, Powermax45 XP and the original Powermax65/85/105s.
