Features
Standard Multi-Zoned Downdraft Table
The downdraft table creates a cleaner workspace for your employees. With advanced smoke and fume extraction capabilities, it improves air quality in your building.
Advanced Helical Rack and Pinion Drive Systems
Features 12-foot X-axis dual synchronized drives with helical rack and pinion. It also has a 6-foot Y-axis bridge single drive with helical rack and pinion. This configuration allows for precise motion control, increased stability, and high-speed cutting.
Advanced THC Lifter
Our advanced torch height control (THC) lifter helps maintain a consistent and optimal distance between the torch and workpiece. This results in precise and high-quality cuts while also protecting the torch and extending consumable life.
Hypertherm SureCut™ Technology
SureCut™ Technology automatically applies optimized cutting parameters, which simplifies cutting and reduces operator intervention.
Hypertherm Edge Connect CNC Controller
The Edge Connect CNC controller enhances overall system reliability, improves cut quality, and increases productivity for your operation.
Standard Hy-Definition Torch
With a hy-definition torch, you can achieve high-quality, high-precision cuts in various metal thicknesses.
Gantry Parking Spot
The gantry parking spot ensures your plasma torch remains in a safe, out-of-the-way position while loading and unloading cutting materials.
Heavy-Duty Unitized Table
The tru-kut features a unitized design with removable/replaceable slats. This design ensures you get precise cuts, every time. The table also features 2-inch thick full plate load capacity.
Standard Downdraft Table
Easily create a safer work environment with the tru-kut’s standard downdraft table. It expertly removes smoke, fumes, and fine particulate matter from the workplace.
Marking Technology
The tru-kut makes it easy to mark bendlines, weld points, or any other shape, which optimizes your operations and reduces costly downtime. Any AKS system can utilize argon/nitrogen marking, pin stamping, or air scribe technology.
Direct Pinion Loading
With direct pinion loading, you can minimize backlash and reduce the potential for positioning errors. This is crucial for maintaining high precision in plasma cutting operations, where even small deviations can lead to significant inaccuracies in the final cut
Automatic Torch Height Control
Our advanced torch height control (THC) lifter helps maintain a consistent and optimal distance between the torch and workpiece. This gives precise cuts while protecting the torch and extending consumable life.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Hook the unit up to a power supply and it’s ready to cut. No complex installation required.
Slide-Out Slag Pans
Make maintenance and cleaning easy with slide out slag pans inside of clean-out access doors. These allow easy access to the interior of the machine where slag, debris, and other residue accumulate.
Magnetic Breakaway Head
The magnetic breakaway head protects plasma torch and machine from damage in case of collision or unintended contact with the workpiece.
Power and Gas Options
Table Options
Multiple Sizes
The tru-kut features 5’x10’ and 6’x12’ options. With multiple sizes available, the tru-kut offers maximum convenience for your business.
Downdraft Table Options
Customize your downdraft table to ensure the machine meets your needs. Our imperial dust collector — model CM04 — gathers airborne dust and particles. Our dust drum level sensor prevents dust overflow. Additionally, our HEPA filter increases air filtration efficiency and particle capture. We also have cold weather solenoid kits to prevent freezing and operational issues.
Change Downdraft Table to Water Table
Upgrading to a water table can result in a cleaner workspace, improved material cooling, enhanced precision, noise reduction, and more. We offer a complete steel structure water tank design with removable/replaceable steel slats. Removable scrap pans are optional and easy-to-clean while keeping the table in production.
Water Level Raise/Lower Control
Experience improved cut quality, minimized warping, enhanced piercing, and more with an optional water level raise/lower control.
Accessories
Digital Camera and Crosshair
Get better cuts by adding a digital camera with on-screen crosshair. This technology helps operators accurately align the cutting path with the desired location.
