The cut samples below were done in my home shop with my personal Powermax30.I also have a Powermax45 on a cnc machine and a Powermax1000 for hand cutting. I may be a bit biased, but the above data is right off the Miller and Hypertherm websites. Hypertherm produces the torches for both units, although the Miller torch is the same as the older technology Hypertherm Powermax380 torch.and the Powermax30 torch is a newer design, with much better front end visibility, as well as better cut quality/consumable life.Īttached is a picture of a Powermax30 severance cut on 5/8".Hypertherm always under rates its systems capability! The max cut ratings are the same, but the severance rating for Hypertherm is less at 1/2". The Hypertherm has lower input current, higher output current, higher duty cycle, longer torch lead, yet weighs 2 lbs more. The Miller is 2 lbs lighter, and claims to sever 5/8" So, the Miller has a lower duty cycle, lower output amperage, yet higher input current draw. Input current draw at 240 volts: 13.5 Amps Output max amperage / duty cycle: 30 Amps 30% duty Output max amperage / duty cycle: 27 Amps 20% duty
Here are the comparison numbers for the Hypertherm Powermax 30 vs the Miller 375 Xtreme: The associates are happy, we engineer the hell out of our products, we have a state of the art manufacturing facility, 0ver 50% of our product is sold outside the US.and yes, we sell a lot of plasma systems in China! If you looked at the ratio of engineering staff.many with advanced degrees.you would notice an abnormal number of engineering staff compared to manufacturing, sales and other necessary positions. A fair amount of our profit goes into engineering and relibility of current and next generation products.which will ensure our future success. Since the founder is an engineer.Hypertherm is a very strong engineering and research and development company regarding plasma and laser technology. The working conditions are great, the people are happy, and they are proud to build and support our products. Our products and support are good for a variety of reasons.the company is owned by the people that work there. We are located in 9 buildings in Hanover and Lebanon, NH.as well as sales and technical support offices throughout the world. We also manufacture CNC controls for plate cutting machines, Torch Height Controls for plasma and oxy-fuel, and Plasma cutting consumables for many brands of plasma cutters.
Hypertherm designs and manufactures "thermal cutting equipment".which includes Plasma systems, both hand held and industrial mechanized.as well as Laser cutting equipment. We currently are approaching 1000 associates (the associates own 1/3 of the company.the founder, who owns the rest of it, is in his early 60's comes to work every day and sits at a cubicle like the rest of us.there are no big mahogany offices!). I work for Hypertherm.so I may be somewhat biased regarding our products.so I'll tell you about the company! I was the 13th employee hired in early 1978.which means I've been with the company for a little over 30 years. "One of the forum members works for Hypertherm
