Portable air plasma system includes built-in internal compressor

Hypertherm has introduced the Powermax30® Air, a new portable air plasma system and internal compressor in one.

Able to operate on 120- or 240-V lines, the unit enables metal cutting just about anywhere. Weighing 30 lbs., it provides 30 amps of output, giving it the highest power-to-weight ratio of any system in its class, according to the company.

Also contributing to this high ratio is the patent-pending consumable design that helps optimize airflow from the compact internal compressor. This design contributes directly to the efficiency of the system and delivers consistent cut performance, the manufacturer reports.

Recommended cut capacity is 0.3125 in. and severance capacity is 0.625 in. The system can cut a variety of metal types and thicknesses.
