While oxyfuel is a proven method, Hypertherm\u2019s Powermax SYNC\u00ae air plasma systems, featuring a revolutionary cartridge consumable platform and automated process set-up, provide many significant advantages, making it the smarter choice for a variety of cutting situations. Here are 10 reasons why plasma cutting with Powermax SYNC is<br>more effective, versatile, and provides more value to your cutting operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Watch the following videos to find out how Powermax SYNC beats these challenges<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">1. Easier to use: <\/span><\/em><\/strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Single-piece, color-coded cartridge consumable simplifies inventory and reduces operator errors and training time.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-1_EN-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><em><strong>2. Automated process set-up<\/strong>: Advanced torch communication sets correct amperage and operating mode, eliminating setup errors.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-2_EN-2.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>3. Reduces downtime: <\/strong>Convenient controls right on the new SmartSYNC\u00ae torch make it easy to adjust your amperage and change consumables without returning to the power supply.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-3_EN-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>4. Cutting performance<\/strong>:  dataAvailable cartridge reader pairs with Powermax SYNC smartphone app to track and analyze utilization data such as starts, transfers, and arc-on time.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-4_EN.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>5. Better cut quality<\/strong>: Plasma cuts have less dross, less warping, and a smaller heat-affected zone than with oxyfuel. With Powermax SYNC<br>and its cartridge consumables, components wear at the same rate,<br>improving cut quality<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-5_EN.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>6. Cuts more parts faster<\/strong>: With significantly faster cut speeds, Powermax SYNC plasma outperforms oxyfuel even before you consider oxyfuel\u2019s necessary preheat time and secondary operations.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-6_EN.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><em><strong>7. Increases productivity<\/strong>: With operating costs spread over more parts per hour, and less time spent on secondary operations, you have a lower cost-per-part, resulting in increased profitability.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-7_EN.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>8. Maximizes flexibility<\/strong>: Unlike oxyfuel, Powermax SYNC can cut non-ferrous metals like aluminum, stainless, copper, and any other conductive metals either by hand, with a track or pipe cutter, or on an X-Y table. It can even cut stacked metal, metal grate, or even rusty or painted pieces.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-8_EN.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>9. Uses only air for improved safety<\/strong>: No flammable gases required. With Powermax SYNC systems, compressed air is the only gas you need. The most popular fuel gas for oxyfuel is acetylene, a highly flammable and unstable gas.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.miganglia.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SYNC-vs-Oxy_square_reason-9_EN.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>10. Powermax reliability<\/strong>: Powermax\u00ae plasma systems are renowned for their robustness, and are designed for use in rugged, industrial<br>environments.
