Hypertherm Associates, a U.S.-based manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, will showcase its Powermax® plasma cutting technology at the CastExpo & Metalcasting Congress 2025, which takes place April 12-15 in Atlanta, Georgia. Visit Hypertherm at booth 1110 to see live demonstrations and examine parts cut with Powermax technology.
Company representatives will be available to discuss how plasma cutting can streamline foundry operations by reducing manual effort, improving cut quality and conserving energy.
The Powermax series, including the Powermax105 SYNC®, offers manual and automated metal cutting and gouging capabilities. According to a Hypertherm news release, these systems help foundries improve efficiency and safety in cast trimming and degating processes. The Powermax SYNC series is designed for both handheld operation and integration with robotic cells, making it a versatile solution for foundry environments.
Also, Garen Cakmak, Hypertherm's director of business development and product management, will be a featured speaker as part of the professional development curriculum offered at CastExpo 2025. Cakmak’s knowledge-sharing session, titled “Automated Plasma Degating Technology for Foundries,” will explain the science behind plasma cutting, its impact on various metals and its benefits over traditional degating methods. Cakmak will also discuss trends such as robotic vision systems and the increasing accessibility of automation in manufacturing.
