Hypertherm offers the following types of cutting cartridges for robotic torches:

For a full list of the cutting and gouging cartridges available refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Parts Guide (810490).

For information on gouging processes and cartridges, refer to Gouging processes on
page 30.

For help installing the cartridge, refer to Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual

Select the cartridge with the amperage that is best for the thickness of the material that you
want to cut.

Make sure that the cartridge that you select is an amperage supported by
the plasma power supply. For example, if you have a Powermax85 SYNC,
select an 85 A, 65 A, or 45 A cartridge, not a 105 A cartridge.
