The Arc Max Ultra is the entry-tier table in the Arc Max family — built for shops moving from a hobby-grade machine to a real production air-plasma table without paying for features they don’t need yet. Same welded steel frame and HIWIN linear rails as the rest of the line, paired with the all-new ARC CNC controller and Hypertherm Powermax SYNC power sources from 45 to 125 amps.

Where the Ultra stands out: a 3-year warranty on the controller and motion control system — the longest in the Arc Max lineup — and lower entry cost across all four sizes, including the compact 5×5 footprint. The ARC CNC controller is licensed and pre-installed — no subscriptions, no per-machine fees.
