Built-in air compressor—no need for shop air! Just plug it in and start cutting. 

The Powermax 30 AIR is a plasma arc cutting system with an integrated air compressor. It will cut electrically conductive metals—such as mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum—up to 10 mm (3/8 inches) thick. It will also pierce thicknesses up to 6 mm (1/4 inch).

Generally, mechanized plasma torches create thermal plasma by harnessing direct current (DC) discharge. Although thermal plasma is most commonly generated using DC discharge, it can also be generated using alternating current (AC) or radio frequency.

With the Powermax 30 Air, you're not limited to using shop air. You can take this lightweight, portable machine just about anywhere with a 120 or 240 plug and cut using the internal air compressor.

Benefits of the Powermax 30 AIR:

Portable operation

• Internal air compressor lets you operate anywhere—maximum portability and ease of use
• Plugs into either a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet with the included plug adapters
• Lightweight, ergonomic hand torch reduces cramping and soreness
• Adding to its portability, it’s the lightest and smallest system in its class

Faster, more versatile

• High efficiency: fast cutting speeds and amazing cut quality reduces secondary operations
• Continuous pilot arc feature lets you quickly and easily cut rusted metal or metal grate without retriggering
• Only one tool is needed for a variety of cutting functions - large-range of metal thicknesses and types

Reliable, robust, and cost-effective

• Internal air compressor eliminates the unnecessary costs of with external air compressors
• Rugged design withstands the elements
• High performance from Hypertherm, a trusted brand

Oxy-fuel welding and cutting for CNC efficiency 

Oxy-fuel welding and cutting (also referred as oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas-welding) are processes that use fuel gases to burn pure oxygen to achieve high temperatures—allowing the user to weld and cut metals.

Plasma cutting and welding vs. oxy-fuel welding and cutting

The average cost of using a plasma torch is about 37% cheaper per foot, which, over time can save you a big chunk of change. In regions with high labor rates, such as the US, Canada, Europe, etc., it’s extremely important to achieve the highest efficiency possible to maximize your profit. Due to its ability to obtain a high-capacity and high-speed in fabrication operations, plasma torches are the clear-cut preference over oxy-fuel torches.
