The price estimate for the AKS Cutting Systems dura-kut is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/aks-cutting-systems-dura-kut#price; the request is passed to AKS Cutting Systems or an authorised dealer.
Up to 30 ft (9.14 m) wide and up to 200 ft (60.96 m) long, with length added in 10 ft (3.05 m) increments. Standard widths range from 8 ft to 18 ft (2.44 to 5.49 m), and the Dura-max widths range from 18 ft to 30 ft (5.49 to 9.14 m).
AKS lists a maximum cut depth of up to 16 in (406 mm). The specification does not attach that figure to a particular process. The machine can carry multiple plasma or oxy-fuel cutting torches, so ask AKS which torch and power supply the figure applies to before planning thick work.
The table is chosen separately from the gantry. AKS says the tables are available from multiple third parties or from its own team, and lists a downdraft table, a self-cleaning downdraft table that sweeps out slag, scrap and small parts, and a water table upgrade. An H-beam support is offered for floor mounting.
When the plate is wider than the accu-kut can take. The accu-kut is a unitized system that cuts up to 10 ft (3.05 m) wide. The dura-kut runs on floor rail and cuts up to 30 ft (9.14 m) wide, at the cost of a looser motion accuracy figure of +/- 0.006 in per 3 ft.
With attachments. The robo-kut is a 5-axis plasma bevel head capable of +/- 45 degrees with continuous unlimited rotation. The tube-kut is an add-on positioned on the floor at the left or right side of the table, with a servo-controlled rotary drive and headstock chuck that index tube or pipe under the plasma torch.
