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.
Fully Customizable Table Sizes
The dura-kut offers customizable table sizes, which means maximum convenience for your business. These tables are available from multiple third parties or the AKS team. Standard widths range from 8 feet to 18 feet. Dura-max widths range from 18 feet to 30 feet. Length range in 10-foot increments up to 200 feet.
