428935 Hypertherm SmartSYNC cartridge for drag cutting (Hand cutting) up to 85 Amps. Pack of 1. 

85 Amp drag cutting cartridges are compatible with: SmartSYNC™ torches for the Powermax85/105 SYNC™ systems.

Once fitted to a SmartSYNC torch the system reads the data from the cartridge and automatically changes the power source to the correct application (either cutting or gouging) and sets the correct amperage to match the appropriate cartridge. 

They also can be used on Duramax® torches using a torch adapter (428951) for Powermax85/105 systems, however data storage and cartridge ID are not compatable when used 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 smart phone 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
