The cartridge is manufactured as a single piece so everything within it is perfectly aligned and optimized. As a result, the Hypertherm cartridge for Powermax systems will last up to twice as long and deliver cleaner cuts versus traditional consumables. The cartridge can even track data, like starts and arc-on time, to identify trends and make a user’s operation more efficient. 

In addition to the numerous new additions and special “First Choice” recommendations, the catalog features a range of practical information for cutters about Inovatools’ INOSHOP (online shop), INOQR (QR code reader), INOCUT (cutting data computer) and INOCAM (CAM/XML interface) as well as a range of web, Android and iOS apps, providing users with instant and comprehensive information and allowing them to access the required tool and its data directly and with just a few clicks.

Speeders improve surface finish and reduce cycle times when machining small holes and soft materials, without lengthy acceleration ramps. Reducers optimize the lower speed, higher torque requirements of large holes and tough materials without sacrificing horsepower. In-line holders utilize ER style collets and are available on extensions to machine between chuck jaws.

In most applications, the focus is on ensuring that no outside contaminants get into a mechanical system, while in controlled areas and clean room production. The revised PSK ensures that no material makes it outside into the mechanical system. The precision ball screw nut and linear carriage assembly are sealed from both sides with Rexroth ball screw assembly seals. This detail significantly reduces the risk of lubricants escaping outside.
