Features
Advanced THC Lifter
Our advanced torch height control (THC) lifter helps maintain a consistent and optimal distance between the torch and workpiece. This results in precise and high-quality cuts while also protecting the torch and extending consumable life.
Hypertherm SureCut™ Technology
SureCut™ Technology automatically applies optimized cutting parameters, which simplifies cutting and reduces operator intervention.
Torch Height Control (THC) Lifter
Utilizing Hypertherm Sensor technology, the torch height control lifter automatically controls torch height during the cutting process. It’s also fitted with a servo driven ball screw with arc voltage control system. This gives you more efficiency and safety in your operation.
Unitized Construction
Rigid and robust design ensures strength, productivity, and reliability, with performance and durability far exceeding less capable models.
Helical Rack and Pinion Drives
The features X-axis and Y-axis helical rack and pinion drives. This configuration offers enhanced precision, increased load capacity, and more.
Replaceable Slat Table System
With a removable/replaceable slat table design, you can easily customize the table surface based on the material being cut, and replace worn-out slats when needed.
Magnetic Breakaway Head
The magnetic breakaway head protects plasma torch and machine from damage in case of collision or unintended contact with the workpiece.
Automatic Torch Height Control
Our advanced torch height control (THC) lifter helps maintain a consistent and optimal distance between the torch and workpiece. This gives precise cuts while protecting the torch and extending consumable life.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Hook the unit up to a power supply and it’s ready to cut. No complex installation required.
Tucked Dual Rails
Precision linear rails are mounted on the machined surface and integrated with helical rack and pinion and precision bearings.
Advanced Helical Rack and Pinion Drive Systems
Features 12-foot X-axis dual synchronized drives with helical rack and pinion. It also has a 6-foot Y-axis bridge single drive with helical rack and pinion. This configuration allows for precise motion control, increased stability, and high-speed cutting.
Power Options
Table Options
Water Table
The PLASMATIC features either a water or downdraft table, depending on what your operation needs. Both of these options can help reduce smoke, dust, and noise, which creates a more positive work environment.
Multiple Table Sizes
With multiple table sizes to choose from, you can customize the PLASMATIC to fit your needs. The machine comes in 5×10 and 6×12 options.
Accessories
Plasma Quench
Our plasma quench additive is a rust inhibitor that you can add to your water table. It’s also great for reducing odor and bacteria within your machine.
Air Scribe Marking System
With our air scribe marking system, you can create clear and precise marks, which promotes cleaner cuts and reduced downtime.
Air Bubbler System
The air bubbler system is crucial if you’re cutting aluminum. Cutting aluminum adds hydrogen bubbles, which can damage the cutting material. The air bubbler system removes these bubbles for a cleaner result.
Roller Ball Lifter Unit
Are you cutting thin gauge material? Then you need the roller ball lifter unit. This technology holds down the material and promotes more accurate cuts.
Software and Technology
The PLASMATIC features ProNest 2025 part nesting software for advanced mechanized cutting. It’s designed to help you achieve greater automation, efficiency, and profitability. The machine can also run Shop Data Systems, an HVAC software package for anyone completing duct work. But those aren’t the only software packages the PLASMATIC runs. It also features FlashCut Smart 360 — an advanced hole cutting add-on that gives you bolt-quality holes.
The PLASMATIC also features an industrial panel operator console. This technology provides a centralized point of control, monitoring, and adjustment for various aspects of the plasma cutting process.
Additionally, the PLASMATIC has a motion system that allows for the highest accuracy, smoothest motion, and lowest noise output in its class. Its single-set-up machined milled surfaces allow for precision mounting of helical racks. It also has precision ground linear bearings. Additionally, it features precision pinions driven by dual-side planetary gearboxes and industrial stepper motors, without forced engagement from pneumatic or spring-load operations.
