Easy to use

  • Cartridges are easy to identify by process with clear laser marking and color coding to eliminate part mix-ups.
  • RFID-enabled SmartSYNC torches and cartridges automatically set the correct amperage and operating mode, eliminating setup errors.
  • End-of-life consumable detection eliminates the uncertainty of knowing when to change the cartridge.
  • Less operator fatigue when using hand torches with our new flexible lead. The lead has the same robustness of our previous lead jacket material and will also be used on robotic torches.

Hypertherm cartridges


The Hypertherm cartridge consumable platform is a revolutionary change to standard air plasma consumables. Each single-piece cartridge is optimized by process and amperage to ensure performance while dramatically simplifying the parts needed to cut or gouge with plasma.

Hypertherm cartridges for Powermax systems are manufactured to uphold our high standards for quality and reliability. As part of the manufacturing process, we test-fire each cartridge to ensure proper assembly and function. As a result, there may be burn marks on the tip of the cartridge. This is normal and not a sign of damage.
