With every system we manufacture, Hypertherm is committed to exceeding customer expectations. The Powermax30 is no exception. A completely new design, engineered from the ground up, the Powermax30 sets the industry performance standard for a highly portable, easy-to-use plasma cutting system. With highly advanced inverter technology, the Powermax30 has unsurpassed power in its class and an unequaled industrial duty rating, while weighing only 20 lbs (9 kg) - 60% lighter than previous systems in its category. Though compact and portable, the Powermax30 is a rugged, industrial machine with the reliability that you've come to expect from the world leader in plasma cutting technology.

Power

•• State-of-the-art inverter technology and full Digital Signal Processing (DSP) delivers unmatched performance.

•• Auto-voltage capability automatically adapts to any incoming power from 1 20 V to 230 V, single phase.

•• Cuts faster than oxyfuel or any mechanical metal cutting tool.

Capacity ratings:

1/4" (6 mm) Recommended 3/8" (10 mm) Maximum 1 /2" (12 mm) Severance

Recommended capacity - the metal thickness that can be cut with good quality and productivity, generally at 20 IPM (500 mm/min) or higher.

Maximum capacity - metal thickness that can be cut with good quality, but at a reduced speed, approximately 10 IPM (250 mm/min).

Severance capacity - top end of system's capabilities: metals can be severed, but with reduced cut quality and slower speeds.

To go

* Weighs just 20 lbs (9 kg).
* Fold-out cable wrap points and consumable carrying clips add to convenience and portability.
* Optional shoulder strap adds to the system's portability, making it easy to use for on-site operations.
* Simplified features and controls make it easy to set up and easy to operate.
* Factory pre-set air regulator accepts 65-140 PSI to ensure optimal performance every time.
* Deluxe unit includes accessories in a rugged system carrying case for safe and convenient storage.

The T30v - a revolutionary design in plasma cutting torches

Hypertherm's exclusive T30v torch incorporates all new patent-pending design features to maximize operator visibility and gain access to hard-to-reach locations.

What our customers are saying: "The new Hypertherm Powermax30 is small and light but it performed better than any of the other machines we have seen or used. There was lots of power for cutting, even when we were only using 120-volt power. We really liked that we could put the torch right on the work and move with no sticking for clean, smooth cuts and no worries about changing voltages when we plug in."
