Dordrecht, The Netherlands, August 12, 2022 – Hypertherm Associates, a US-based manufacturer of industrial cutting products and software, is heading to EuroBLECH, the world’s largest trade exhibition for the sheet metal working industry. The company’s technology and product brands will welcome show visitors from two buildings at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds in Germany from October 25 to 28. This year, Hypertherm Associates will focus on automation and sustainability with products and solutions that help customers automate and make their cutting operations more efficient.

“We are excited to meet our partners and customers again at this year’s show,” said Marco Mostert, the Hypertherm Associates regional director for Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa. “We know our customers are facing extraordinary challenges from the combination of inflation, economic uncertainty from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and labour shortages. The products and solutions we bring to this year’s show are designed to help customers tackle those challenges.”

Hypertherm Associates’ OMAX technology brand will exhibit its market leading waterjet systems in Hall 12, Booth H80. Show visitors will have an opportunity to see the OptiMAX, considered the world's most accurate waterjet, along with the ProtoMAX, a compact, self-contained cutting system perfect for prototyping and low volume cutting. OMAX will also feature its highly intuitive IntelliMAX software.

The company’s Hypertherm technology brand will highlight its plasma offerings right next door in Hall 13, Booth E158. Show visitors can experience a new revolution in plasma cutting: the Powermax SYNC for the first time at a European show. This innovative series of plasma systems features built-in intelligence and a single-piece consumable cartridge to automate plasma cutting. In addition, Hypertherm will showcase the world’s only X-Definition plasma and a new HPR cartridge for HPRXD plasma systems, a revolutionary change that will simplify plasma cutting helping customers reduce labour and training costs.

The Hypertherm booth will also feature demonstrations of ProNest and Robotmaster, both of which are part of the Hypertherm Associates Software Group. ProNest CAD/CAM nesting software enables seamless integration with SureCut, technology that applies optimized parameters to simplify cutting and reduce the need for operator intervention. Robotmaster software helps manufacturers maximize their robot’s productivity with easy and efficient robot programming for a variety of applications. With embedded plasma and robotic functionality, Robotmaster enables automated welding, reducing skilled labour requirements.
