Hypertherm, a manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems, is transitioning its Integrated Cutting Solutions (ICS) brand to SureCut? technology. Like ICS before, SureCut is designed to maximise cutting performance by automatically applying optimised cutting process parameters to simplify cutting and reduce operator intervention. SureCut is delivered through a combination of Hypertherm products such as automated systems, CNCs and CAM software.

Hypertherm estimates that it spent more than a year developing a comprehensive set of cutting parameters to cover a wide range of applications. Factors that impact system settings include material type, thickness, cut type, amperage level, gas selection and more.

Some benefits of SureCut Technology include True Hole? for bolt ready holes, True Bevel?to simplify the process of cutting beveled edges, Rapid Part?to markedly reduce cut-to-cut cycle time and Remote Help? for real time troubleshooting.
