Set Up the Machine Torch
This section gives information on the following:
SmartSYNC machine torch components and dimensions
Setup information for installing the SmartSYNC torch on X-Y tables, track burners, pipe
bevelers, or other mechanized equipment
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC plasma power supplies are shipped with a starter set of Hypertherm
cartridges. For a full list of the cutting and gouging cartridges available, refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Parts Guide (810490).
About the machine torch
SmartSYNC machine torch features
include the following:
Automatic setting of operating
mode, amperage, and gas pressure based on the Hypertherm cartridge that you install, the
torch type, and the torch lead length
Communication of Hypertherm cartridge usage information to the plasma power supply,
including cartridge end-of-life detection (refer to the Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator
Manual (810470) for more information)
A torch-lock switch that prevents the torch from firing accidentally, even when the plasma
power supply is ON
The FastConnect™ quick-disconnect system to easily remove the torch for transport or to
switch from one torch to another
For information about the thicknesses that you can cut and pierce with a SmartSYNC machine
torch, refer to the Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual (810470).

Attach the torch to your equipment
You can put the machine torch on a wide variety of X-Y tables, track burners, pipe bevelers, and
other equipment. To install the torch, refer to the instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
If your mechanized cutting system includes a track, do not disassemble the torch or the
quick-disconnect shell. Do the following:
1. Put a clamp on the torch or on the lead near the torch to hold the torch in position.
2. Open the track fully.
3. Put the torch lead in the track.
4. Close the track.
5. Install the torch.
Minimum bend radius for torch lead
Do not bend the torch lead around a radius that is less
than the minimum bend radius of 76 mm (3.0 inches).
NOTICE
SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS AND OTHER COMPONENTS INSIDE THE TORCH. PERMANENT
DAMAGE CAN OCCUR.
Do not disassemble the torch or the quick-disconnect shell to put the torch in the mechanized
cutting system track.
NOTICE
MINIMUM BEND RADIUS. KINKING AND OTHER DAMAGE CAN OCCUR.
Do not bend the torch lead too far.

Remove the gear rack (optional)
The gear rack can be attached to either side of the full-length machine torch. If you must remove the
gear rack, remove the 2 screws that attach the rack to the torch shell.
When you install the gear rack, tighten the screws by hand. To avoid
damage to the screws, do not tighten too much.
Align the torch
Install the machine torch perpendicular
to the workpiece to get a vertical cut.
Use a square or digital level to align the
torch at a 90° angle to the workpiece.
Position the mounting bracket lower
on the torch to keep vibration at the tip
of the torch to a minimum.
Do not tighten the mounting bracket
too much. Too much force from the
mounting bracket can cause damage to
the printed circuit board (PCB) inside
the torch. Too much force can also warp
or cause other damage to the torch
shell.
