The Powermax1000 is the latest addition to the Powermax G3 Series. With advanced technologies in both power supply and torch, Hypertherm G3 products cut faster and more economically than any system available today. The Powermax1000's Auto-voltage™ circuit provides automatic adjustment to any input voltage from 200 to 600 volts, 1- or 3-phase (CE 230 to 400 V 3-phase only). A state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based architecture assures optimum system reliability. Add to this Hypertherm's advanced torch technology and easy-to-read controls, and you have the most advanced plasma cutter money can buy.

The power supply:
Advanced, intelligent technology gives the Powermax1000 the power to cut with greater speed, quality and efficiency.

  • 60-amp, 8.4-kilowatt output provides ample power for clean, quick cutting.   
  • Auto-voltage runs on voltages from 200 to 600 volts, 1- or 3-phase, (CE 230 to 400 V 3-phase only) without the need for manual rewiring.
  • New Boost Conditioner™ circuit compensates for input voltage variation.   
  • Advanced, digitally-controlled inverter design delivers continuously adjustable, constant current output, from 20 to 60 amps, permitting high-quality cuts over a wide range of metal thicknesses.
  • An active electronic pilot arc controller for cutting expanded metal or grating.    
  • New gouging setting allows for improved arc transfer, easier operation and faster metal removal.
  • CNC/robotic machine interface is standard on all units, allowing automated control and rapid change over to mechanized operation.

The torch: intelligent design combines performance, durability, comfort and safety
The Powermax1000 features Hypertherm's T60 safety trigger torch. A revolutionary design delivers outstanding cut performance, reliability and operator comfort.

  • The longest consumable life in the industry, and we'll prove it. Patented HyLife™ electrodes last longer than ordinary designs.
  • Patented Dual-threshold™ pilot circuit significantly reduces nozzle wear by boosting pilot current precisely when needed.
  • Patented nozzle shield lets you drag the torch on the workpiece at full output, without damaging consumables, and protects the nozzle from molten metal spray and double arcing.
  • Postflow cooling to reduce torch stress. 
  • Hypertherm's patented Coaxial-assist™ jet design boosts cutting speed as much as 20% over conventional designs.   
  • Hypertherm's revolutionary new ETR™ (Easy Torch Removal) system allows for easy switching between manual and mechanized torches. It also features a radically new integrated approach to strain relief and durability.   
  • Hypertherm's patented safety trigger protects against accidental starts. Interlocks deactivate the torch when the consumable parts are removed, using a durable mechanical contact.    
  • No breakable ceramic parts.
  • Patented "blow-back" technology provides a pilot arc without excessive high-frequency interference.   
  • Consumables for gouging, extended-nozzle cutting, pipe saddle cutting and other applications.

The Powermax1000 is designed for heavy use under the harshest conditions.

  • Mechanical and electrical designs are validated through aggressive, accelerated testing.
  • New fan-on-demand feature minimizes dust ingestion.
  • Chemically cross-linked torch cable jacket provides improved resistance to molten spray and cut-through.
  • CSA/NRTL and CE certifications comply with the highest safety standards.   
  • IP23CS compliance for resistance to water damage.
  • The Powermax1000 is backed by a full, three-year power supply warranty and a one-year torch warranty. No parts excluded. Examine competitive policies closely.
