Hypertherm Associates to Feature Cobot Plasma Cutting Solution at FABTECH

Boosts Productivity and Product Throughput

HANOVER, N.H.—October 7, 2024—Hypertherm Associates, a U.S. based leading manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, will feature a cobot operating the Hypertherm Powermax105 SYNC professional-grade air plasma cutter at FABTECH 2024 in booth #S13059. The solution is ideal for metal fabricators looking to boost productivity and product throughput in a challenging hiring environment. Cobot Solutions are essential for manufacturers that are considering automating their welding operations, especially in high-mix production.


With more than a half-century invested in plasma technology and innovation, Hypertherm Associates partners with cobot integrators to provide customers the benefit of rapid, consistent and safe cutting and gouging. In addition, secondary operations are minimized, and integration does not require a large investment nor long learning curve.

The versatility of Hypertherm Powermax plasma systems along with software, facilitates robotic teaching tools and setup guides. At the same time, the system provides shops with a variety of torch and application options including extended length consumables for hard-to-reach operation. The revolutionary Hypertherm Powermax cartridges also simplify cobot integration and set up while offering up to five times the consumable life over competitors.
