Advanced Kiffer Systems, Inc. (AKS), a subsidiary of Kiffer Industries, is a Cleveland based company that has been at the forefront of high-quality machine tool production for over 100 years. Our 55,000 sq. ft. headquarters and manufacturing facility is located adjacent to the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. AKS Cutting Systems manufacturers CNC plasma cutting machines and flame cutting systems both unitized and gantry type. When pairing our AKS cutting table with Hypertherm power supplies, software, and integrated controls, we unlock the full benefits of Hypertherm's SureCut™ technologies—a comprehensive set of features designed to deliver superior cut quality, optimized performance, and simplified operation. Key Advantages of SureCut™ with Our AKS Table: 1. Seamless System Integration By using Hypertherm’s power supply, torch height control (THC), CNC, and nesting software together, SureCut ensures full system communication and synchronization. This eliminates compatibility issues and allows all components to work in harmony, leading to more consistent and predictable cutting results. 2. Optimized Cut Quality and Consistency SureCut includes patented process technologies like True Hole®, Rapid Part™, and True Bevel™, which improve edge quality, reduce taper, and deliver bolt-ready holes without operator intervention. These features are only fully available when the entire system is Hypertherm-integrated. 3. Enhanced Productivity and Throughput With features like Rapid Part™ for faster transitions between cuts and Auto Gas capabilities for quicker setup, SureCut reduces downtime and increases throughput—maximizing the value of every shift. 4. Simplified Operation and Setup SureCut automates much of the cutting process. Parameters like cut speed, arc voltage, and gas settings are automatically set based on material and thickness. This reduces the reliance on operator experience and minimizes setup time and errors. 5. Reduced Operating Costs With better consumable life, fewer errors, and optimized cutting paths through integrated nesting, SureCut lowers the total cost per part over time. In summary, by combining our AKS cutting table with a full Hypertherm solution, you get a fully optimized, turnkey cutting system that delivers better cut quality, increased efficiency, and greater reliability, all with less guesswork. AKS Cutting Systems manufactures waterjet X2, X3 and X4 models. AKS is proud to offer the High Pressure (60k) and Ultra-High Pressure (90k) pumps on all our waterjet systems.
