4' x 4' Cutting Solution Comparison
Both cut a 4' x 4' area, hold 0.002" per foot positioning accuracy, and run on in-house Langmuir Systems software. Apollo 4 trades plate thickness for edge quality and fine detail. CrossFire PRO MAX trades edge finish for thick plate and a much lower entry price.
Need to cut full sheets? Compare the Apollo 8 and CrossFire XR. For a side-by-side look at how plasma, fiber laser, and waterjet compare, see our cutting technology comparison.

Apollo 4's limits come from its 1500W Max Photonics source. CrossFire PRO MAX's limit is set by the plasma cutter you pair it with; the table is rated for 1" steel. Bars are drawn to scale.
Actual cut quality and speed vary with material condition, assist gas, parameters and consumables.
Top view, drawn to scale. Both cut a 4' x 4' area.
75" W × 60" H × 75" L. Ships as a kit by freight; plan 20 - 40 hours of assembly. The pass-through lets you load a 4' x 8' sheet.
About 69" × 69.5", 31.5" to the table. 286 lb, ships UPS Ground in three boxes.
48" × 48" cutting area with 3" of Z travel on both. Apollo 4 has 2.25" of Z clearance; PRO MAX adds initial height sensing.
Pick the answer closest to your work and the recommendation updates as you go.
Choose Apollo 4 if you cut sheet up to 1/2" carbon steel and want clean, detailed edges with little cleanup, including stainless steel (up to 7/32"), aluminum (3/16") and brass (3/16"). It is fully enclosed and needs two 240V circuits.
Choose CrossFire PRO MAX if you cut plate thicker than 1/2" (up to 1" with a Hypertherm85 SYNC), work mostly in mild steel, or want a lower entry price. The table runs from a 120V 20A outlet, plus power for your plasma cutter.
