Trusted by 25,000+ fabricators across 80+ countries. From handheld Powermax plasma cutters to mechanized HyPerformance systems and fiber laser solutions, Hypertherm delivers the precision and dependability your production floor demands. Backed by 58 years of engineering and our 2-year warranty.
From portable handheld systems for fieldwork to high-definition mechanized plasma and fiber laser systems for production floors, we provide cutting solutions matched to your operation.
The Powermax series (Powermax 30, 45, 65, 85, 105, 125) provides portable plasma cutting for maintenance, repair, demolition, and light fabrication. The Powermax 45 XP delivers clean cuts on steel up to 16 mm, with severance capacity to 25 mm. Powermax SYNC models use single-piece cartridge consumables that eliminate incorrect assembly and auto-set the amperage. Hand and machine torches available for all models. Runs on 120V or 240V input, depending on model.
The HPRXD series (HPR130XD, HPR260XD, HPR400XD) delivers high-definition plasma cuts on mild steel, stainless, and aluminum from 0.5 mm to 80 mm. Patented True Hole technology produces bolt-ready holes without secondary operations on mild steel up to 25 mm. LongLife oxygen technology extends electrode life up to 3x compared to conventional systems. Integrated with Hypertherm Phoenix CNC controllers for automated gas and process selection.
IPG fiber laser sources from 4 kW to 30 kW for high-speed cutting of thin to thick metals. Cuts carbon steel up to 50 mm, stainless steel up to 30 mm. Integrated with Hypertherm CNC controllers and ProNest nesting software for optimized material utilization. Servo-driven exchange tables reduce load/unload time. Fiber lasers consume up to 70% less electricity than equivalent CO2 systems and require no laser gas or mirror alignment.
The Phoenix CNC platform manages all cutting processes, gas selection, torch height, and cut parameters from a single touchscreen interface. ProNest advanced nesting software optimizes sheet utilization with common-line cutting, bridge cutting, and chain cutting features. Operators report 5-15% material savings from ProNest compared to manual nesting. Phoenix controllers support plasma, laser, oxyfuel, and waterjet processes on a single platform.
Our cutting systems achieve positioning accuracy down to ±0.02 mm, driven by advanced Yaskawa servo systems and calibrated motion control. The HPRXD series with True Hole technology produces bolt-ready holes on mild steel up to 25 mm without secondary drilling, verified through internal testing at Hypertherm's Hanover, NH facility using 12 mm mild steel with 260A output. Aerospace and automotive manufacturers depend on this repeatability for production tolerances.
Positioning accuracy measured under controlled factory conditions. True Hole results on mild steel 6-25 mm with nitrogen assist. Actual performance varies by material, thickness, consumable condition, and machine setup.Every system built at our 90,000 sqm facility undergoes a 56-point quality inspection before shipping. Components sourced from IPG (fiber lasers), Yaskawa (servo drives), and our own proprietary plasma and CNC platforms. The 99.5% quality pass rate reflects units shipping without rework over the trailing 12-month period ending Q3 2025. ISO 9001:2015 certified with CE and CSA compliance for North American and European markets.
Quality pass rate based on Hypertherm internal QC data, trailing 12-month window ending September 2025. ISO 9001:2015 certification current as of last audit date.Our commitment extends well beyond delivery. Every system ships with free installation by a certified Hypertherm technician, on-site operator training, and a full 2-year warranty covering parts and labor. 40+ regional service centers provide 24/7 remote diagnostics, and our 120+ authorized distributors maintain local consumable and spare parts inventory. Average first-response time for warranty claims was 4.2 hours in 2025, based on 3,200+ documented service tickets.
Warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal operating conditions. Response time based on 2025 global service ticket data. Regional service availability varies by location.Real feedback from fabricators running Hypertherm equipment on their production floors. Outcomes reflect individual operating conditions.
“We installed a Powermax 85 SYNC in our structural steel shop in 2023. The cartridge consumable system cut our changeover time from 3-4 minutes to about 15 seconds. On 12 mm mild steel, the edge quality is clean enough to weld directly without grinding. We go through roughly one cartridge every two working days on a single-shift operation. The initial investment was higher than some competitors, but consumable costs are lower month to month.”
“We run two HPR260XD units on our shipyard plate-cutting line. True Hole on 20 mm mild steel saves us roughly 45 minutes per shift in drilling time across about 200 holes per shift. Electrode life with LongLife oxygen technology averages about 1,200 starts before replacement, compared to 400-500 on our previous systems. The Phoenix CNC handled the transition from our old controller without major retraining.”
“Our shop runs a mix of Powermax 65 units for portable work and an HPRXD system on the table. The Powermax handles field repairs on 6-10 mm plate reliably in all weather conditions we encounter here. When we had a torch lead issue last winter, the distributor in Sao Paulo had the replacement part in stock and shipped same day. Hypertherm's support network in Brazil has been consistent.”
