Robotmaster® Plasma Module Debuts at JIWS 2026
One of the key highlights at JIWS 2026 will be the exhibition debut of the Robotmaster® Plasma Module at IS-Tail Co., Ltd. [Booth 1-47]. The latest enhancement to the Robotmaster software platform simplifies offline programming for robotic plasma cutting applications, helping manufacturers reduce programming complexity and accelerate deployment of automated cutting systems. Visitors can also learn how Hypertherm's plasma technologies, including XPR®, MAXPRO200®, and Powermax®, support applications ranging from precision fabrication and robotic cutting to heavy industrial processing.
At Aichi Sangyo Co., Ltd. [Booth 1-09], visitors will see the Powermax33 XP® for the first time at a trade show in Japan. Combining professional-grade cutting performance, portability, and ease of use, the system is designed for fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where flexibility and productivity are critical. The recently introduced Powermax33 XP® expands Hypertherm's portable plasma cutting portfolio with an attractive solution for customers working with thinner materials.
