Overview
The Powermax85 combines the latest technological innovations and seven Duramax™ series torch options with 85 amps of cutting power to make it the premier air plasma system for handheld or mechanized cutting and gouging in its class.
Applications
- Hand cutting
- Gouging
- Automated cutting
- - X-Y Table
- - Track systems
- - Pipe systems
- - Robotic systems
| Pierce capacity* | ||
| 3/4" (20 mm) | ||
| 5/8" (26 mm) | ||
| * Pierce capacity varies depending on the equipment being used. The higher capacity requires automatic height control to set independent pierce and cutting heights for the torch. When torch height is set manually, the lower capacity applies. | ||
| Metal removal rate | ||
| Gouge capacity | ||
| 19.5 lbs. (8.8 kg) per hour | ||
| Groove profile | ||
| .23" (5.8 mm) D x .28" (7.1 mm) W | ||
Maximum productivity
- Fast cut speeds: 250% faster than oxyfuel on 12 mm (1/2") mild steel.
- Superior cut and gouge quality means less time spent on grinding and edge preparation.
Easy-to-use for cutting and gouging
- Smart Sense™ technology automatically sets correct air pressure based on torch length and operating mode.
- Handheld, straight machine and robotic torches for greater versatility and ease-of-use.
- Wide voltage tolerance improves performance on motor generators and in low-line conditions.
- Improved shield reduces dross buildup and enables smoother drag cutting for a better cut.
Built and tested to withstand the harshest conditions
- Duramax™ torches are designed for high impact and heat-resistance.
- SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent starting and a more reliable torch.
- Low maintenance for maximum uptime – it keeps on going.
Low operating cost
- Long consumable life for lower cost and more uptime.
- High power efficiency lowers energy consumption.
Relative cut performance on mild steel.
