What Makes Hypertherm Cartridges Different

  • Automated assembly of the components in the cartridge helps ensure perfect alignment
  • Reduced uncertainty of which parts need to be changed and when
  • Cartridge-to-torch installation is a simple and fast three-quarter turn
  • Management of consumable inventory is simplified

Understanding the Cartridge Design Benefits

The consolidation of consumable parts into a single-piece cartridge reduces the mixing of new parts with used parts, which is common during standard consumable change-outs. It also results in proper alignment of components and optimization of the plasma process, overall helping to create more improved and consistent cut quality outcomes.

Hypertherm cartridges have RFID tags that enable the cartridges to be fully compatible with all Powermax SYNC™ systems using SmartSYNC™ torches and provide automated process setup and data transfer to the system. The tag also records valuable usage data, which can then be used to improve cutting operations and identify opportunities for operator training. 


Additionally, the cartridges are color coded by process and feature easy-to-read laser marking. Specialty cartridges for gouging, FlushCut™ and FineCut® help extend the capabilities of Hypertherm Powermax systems and selecting the correct cartridge for the job at hand helps provides optimal outcomes.
