New consumables available for air plasma systems

Hypertherm has introduced the availability of FlushCut consumables for more Powermax air plasma systems. The consumables are designed to work at 45 amps on Powermax45 XP, 65, 85, and 105 systems.

The consumables feature an angled nozzle bore that delivers the plasma arc at a 45-degree angle. Instead of locating the nozzle opening at the tip, the nozzle orifice is located on the side. This bends the plasma arc, causing it to exit the torch at an angle nearly parallel to the workpiece. This allows the operator to cut more flush to the base metal, reducing the amount of material left behind and reducing grinding time.
