HEAVY-DUTY AIR PLASMA CUTTING SYSTEM
For Cutting Gauge
To 1-1/4Inch (32 mm) Metals
Hypertherm is ISO 9001 registered
HYPERTHERM BRINGS YOU THE MAX100, FOR HEAVY-DUTY,
LOW COST AND HIGH PERFORMANCE AIR PLASMA CUTTING.
MAX 100 brings heavy-duty capabilities to our line of air plasma
cutting systems. It delivers superior cut quality, low
operating costs, maximum productivity and
flexibility plus impressive safety features.
MAX100 …
STANDS FOR SUPERIOR CUT
QUALITY—
•MAX100 consistently makes smooth,
square, high quality cuts on a wide
range of metals up to 1 1/4 inches
(32 mm) thick.
•MAX100’s advanced, transistorized
power supply is insensitive to fluctuations
in input voltage. It provides constant
current output over a wide range of torch-
to-work distances, virtually eliminating
current ripple and producing smooth
clean cuts.
•MAX100 provides infinitely adjustable
output from 30 to 100 amps. The operator
can precisely match power requirements
to cutting conditions, optimizing cut
quality for all speeds and material
thicknesses.
•MAX100 matches consumables to
cutting requirements. Two nozzles ensure
optimum cut quality for the entire cutting
range. One is designed for gauge to
3/8 inch (0.4-10 mm). The other is
designed for 3/8 inch (10 mm)
and above.
• MAX100’s torch design gives excellent
visibility for accurate cuts.
MAX100 …
STANDS FOR LOW
OPERATING COSTS —
•
High travel speeds can produce tremen-
dous time and cost savings compared
with oxyfuel or other cutting methods.
•Superior torch and power supply design
delivers the longest consumable parts
life in the industry. The impact resistant
retaining cap withstands punishment
that would leave competitors’ ceramic
cups in pieces. All this means reduced
parts costs.
•High reliability results in minimum
down time.
•Using compressed air as the plasma
gas eliminates the need for expensive
industrial gasses.
•The advanced power supply design is
more energy efficient, helping to reduce
electric power costs.
MAX100 …
STANDS FOR GREATER
PRODUCTIVITY AND
FLEXIBILITY —
•MAX100 is built to work under the
toughest conditions; it stands up to
punishment that is typical of busy job
sites.
•MAX100’s quick disconnect torch lets
you switch easily between hand-held
and mechanized applications for maxi-
mum flexibility in heavy-duty cutting.
The high duty cycle keeps you cutting
all day long.
•MAX 100 offers shielded front-end
torch technology. This patented advance
greatly improves piercing capabilities
and practically eliminates double arcing.
•MAX100 is available with all common
input voltages, including a dual voltage
240/480, 3
B
, 60 Hz configuration.
•MAX100 offers a continuous pilot arc
feature that allows you to cut grating, as
well as perforated and expanded metals
with ease.
•MAX100 delivers high quality gouging
capabilities. Equipped with a gouging
nozzle, MAX100 produces clean, uncon-
taminated gouges ready for secondary
fabrication; the smoke, fumes, noise and
consumable usage associated with other
methods are drastically reduced.
•MAX100 is mobile. It is well balanced
for easy wheeling and has a lifting eye at
the balance point for use with cranes.
MAX100 …
STANDS FOR SAFETY —
•MAX100’s operating panel is simple to
use and easy to see. All controls and
indicators are conveniently located on
the top/front side of the power supply
for high visibility and easy access.
•A unique parts-in-place safety interlock
automatically shuts down the system if
the operator accidentally tries to replace
torch consumables without turning off
the power supply.
