The Hypertherm cartridge reader and app for Powermax SYNC™ systems provides a simple process for reviewing data stored in the cartridges. The cartridge reader fits into the cartridge and works with the near-field communication (NFC) antenna of your mobile device to transfer data stored in the cartridge into the app. Scan cartridges, add labels, and analyze data in the app. Data can be imported into the cartridge excel data analysis tool, or a customer created tool, to analyze performance for starts, transfers, arc-on time, and other valuable cartridge data.
