Hypertherm cartridge 30-45 Amp Mechanised Fine cut 428926

Hypertherm SmartSYNC mechanized cutting cartridges

FineCut® cartridges produce a narrower kerf on thin mild steel and stainless steel up to 3 mm (10 gauge) which is ideal for fine detail cutting.

30–45 A FineCut mechanized cartridges are compatible with: SmartSYNC™ torches for the Powermax65/85/105 SYNC™ systems 

They also can be used on Duramax® torches using a torch adapter (428951) for Powermax45® XP/65/85/105 systems, however, data storage and cartridge ID are not compatible with Duramax torches.

SmartSYNC cartridges are colour coded for ease of identification:- Yellow - Drag Cutting, Green- Gouging, Grey-Mechanised cutting, Black-Flush cut

The cartridge stores information on its usage within its own internal chip, including arc starts, transfers and hours used, this can be read by fitting the cartridge to the SmartSYNC torch, info is then displayed on the power source screen. Alternatively, the data can be read by using the optional 528083 cartridge reader and smartphone app.

Using the new range of Hypertherm SmartSYNC cartridges improves consumable life by allowing all parts used in the traditional 5-piece stack up to wear at equal rates. Using a combination of part worn and new consumables on the same cutting torch reduces the overall life of the consumable stack. 

The cartridge replaces the 5 piece stack used on alternative plasma cutting systems

When using mechanized FineCut cartridges (part no. 428926) on an XY table equipped with a torch height control you may experience premature cartridge failure when using a THC with stall force or a fault code when using a THC with ohmic sensing. On tables using stall force, we recommend turning down the force setting when cutting thin plate. On tables using ohmic sensing, we recommend the use of a 45-amp mechanized cartridge (part no. 428925) instead of a FineCut cartridge. Hypertherm is working on a revised FineCut cartridge design to address this issue but until its release in the coming months, this is the recommended solution.
