The MAX200 is the Answer to your Heavy Duty Metal Cutting Needs

The MAX200 continues Hypertherm's
tradition of combining advanced
technology and superior quality to
deliver operating advantages that
are unmatched in the industry.

The MAX200 Advantage

Hypertherm is ISO 9001 registered
  • 200 amp, 30 kw power output delivers heavyduty cutting capacity up to
    2 inches (50 mm) thick on most
    metals; typical cutting speeds greatly exceed oxyfuel or other methods.
  • 100% duty cycle at full power keeps
    you cutting - all day long.
  • Adjustable power output from 40 to
    200 amps lets the operator precisely match power to cutting requirements.
  • A state-of-the-art transistorized power supply maintains constant output
    current regardless of variations in input voltages or torch-to-work distances, ensuring clean, square cuts throughout
    the cutting range.
  • MAX200's dual gas system - plasma
    and shield - allows you to run on Air/Air, O2/Air, N2/Air, N2/CO2, Ar-H2-N2 or
    other combinations for optimal results
    on all metals and in all conditions.
  • The MAX200's patented shielded torch front-end practically eliminates the possibility of double arcing, greatly enhancing piercing capabilities and extending consumable parts life.
  • The water-cooled torch provides
    maximum cooling, another factor behind MAX200's long consumable parts life;
    the cooling system is built into the
    power supply for exceptional convenience.
  • The MAX200 can be used on cutting machines or for hand-held applications.
  • A machine motion delay control comes built into every system.
  • Optional Torch Height Control (THC)
    and inductive Initial Height Sensing
    (IHS) are available for machine use.
  • New consumables, an optional
    extended torch and heat shield,
    optimize the MAX200 for
    gouging applications.
  • A full set of easy-to-read indicator and diagnostic lights monitor the status of external door panels, transformer temperature, coolant level, plasma and shield gas pressure, coolant
    temperature, and coolant flow,
    greatly simplifying troubleshooting .
  • Extended leads up to 150' (45 m) are available for both handheld and mechanized systems for added flexibility.
  • The MAX200 is available in all common voltages, including 240/480 V, 3Ø,
    60 Hz and 220/380/415 V, 3Ø, 50/60
    Hz configurations.
  • Safety interlocks are built in, ensuring maximum operator safety.
  • MAX200 comes equipped with casters
    for easy wheeling, and there is a lifting
    eye located at the balance point for use with cranes.
  • A full two-year warranty on the power supply and one-year coverage on
    the torch backs up Hypertherm's
    quality commitment.
