Features
Modular, Unitized, and Fully-Welded Frame Design
The accu-kut features a unitized table for the most accurate cuts. It also has removable and replaceable slats to increase the machine’s performance, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
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.
Clean-Out Access Doors
Maintenance and cleaning is a breeze with clean-out access doors. These allow easy access to the interior of the machine where debris, slag, and other residue accumulate.
Modular Design
It’s easy to scale-up with the dura-kut’s modular design. As your cutting needs change or your production volume increases, you can add or remove modules to adjust accordingly. It’s also easy to integrate new modules or components as technology advances.
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
Marking and Etching Technology
The dura-kut makes it easy to mark bendlines, weld points, or any other shape, which optimizes your operations. Any AKS system can utilize argon/nitrogen marking, pin stamping, or air scribe technology.
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.
Standard Water Table
Easily create a safer work environment with the water-kut’s standard water table. It expertly removes smoke, fumes, and fine particulate matter from the workplace.
Raise/Lower Controls
Raise/lower controls allow you to complete above water or underwater cutting, depending on what you need. Underwater cutting allows you to create a safer workspace, as it lowers the volume of the operation.
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.
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.
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 accu-kut comes in many sizes, which allows you to customize the machine to your operation. Build as small or large of a footprint as you need. Available widths include 6, 8, and 10 feet. Lengths include 12, 24, 36, 48 feet.
Downdraft Table Options
Customize your downdraft table with an imperial dust collector and HEPA filter for improved air quality. Add a dust drum level sensor for increased efficiency. Additional cold weather solenoid kit prevents freezing and operational issues.
Water Table Upgrade
Exchange your downdraft table to a water table for improved smoke and fume control, reduced noise levels, enhanced precision, diminished consumable wear, and minimized material damage.
Riser Spacer Blocks
2-, 3-, or 4-inch riser spacer blocks allow for optimal pierce height adjustment. They’re also ideal for protecting consumables and maintaining consistency in your cutting operations.
Slide-Out Slag Pans
Heavy-duty slide-out slag pans allow for quick and easy slag removal. They minimize downtime in your shop and provide improved safety for the operator. Regular, easy cleaning can dramatically extend table life.
Self-Clean Model
The accu-kut self-clean model improves cutting efficiency by reducing manual intervention and downtime. This model targets the removal of slag, dross, and other debris that accumulates during the cutting process.
Premium Accessories
tube-kut
Save space and money with the tube-kut add-on system. This technology increases processing flexibility and versatility to handle both flat plate cutting and tube/pipe cutting. It’s much smaller and costs less than dedicated pipe and tube cutting systems. The tube-kut is positioned on the floor of the dura-kut, either on the left or right hand side of the table, and is operated by the CNC controller. With an integrated servo-controlled sixth-axis rotary drive, it automatically rotates and indexes the tube/pipe, via a headstock chuck, as the plasma torch cuts shapes and profiles in the tube wall.
robo-kut
The robo-kut is the most powerful plasma cutting 5-axis bevel head in the industry. It’s capable of +/- 45 degrees for A, V, K, X, top-Y, and bottom-Y style bevel cuts for weld prep applications, countersinks, and chamfers. It’s also capable of precision taper compensation or back-beveling. This technology can produce a 0.5-inch diameter bolt-ready hole in a 1-inch thick steel plate. This results in a 0.5:1 ratio for hole diameter: thickness. Competitive machines are limited to a traditional 1:1 ratio. The robo-kut performs continuous unlimited rotation without interruption. This means it can cut the most complex 5-axis parts without having to stop and unwind. It also includes a magnetic torch breakaway head to prevent damage upon a crash.
Additional Accessories
Wireless Remote Control Pendant
Featuring a digital camera and on-screen crosshair, this equipment allows for easy machine setup and more accurate cuts.
Smoke Collector Filtration Unit
Adding a smoke collector filtration unit further improves air quality, promotes operator safety, and helps you comply with environmental regulations.
Drill Attachment
Streamline drilling operations by adding a drill attachment to your tru-kut machine. Adding this technology can dramatically reduce costly downtime.
