Hypertherm Plasma Cutters
Select series:
When it comes to selecting a plasma cutting system that is right for you, ask yourself the following questions first:
- What types of material do I predominantly plan to cut?
- What would the thickest material be that I would like to cut?
- What type of ‘cut-quality’ am I looking for?
PowerMax Series

Standard-definition air plasma is made for cutting, gouging and marking metal in light metal applications.
MaxPro Series

Bridging the gap between standard and high-definition plasma, conventional plasma is a workhorse for companies demanding good cut quality, high productivity, and low operating costs.
HyPerformance Series

High-definition plasma offers exceptional cut quality with fast cut speeds and low operating costs in high volume, heavy production environments.
XPR Series

Hypertherm’s exclusive X-Definition™ plasma is the highest form of plasma technology. It builds on high definition plasma and sets new standards for cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
