Penn Stainless Products Installs New Koike Aronson Plasma Cutting System
12/05/2012 - Service center Penn Stainless Products in Quakerstown, Pa., has recently installed two new Koike Aronson Versagraph Millennium Series Plasma Cutting Systems (Model 3100).
Penn Stainless Products has recently installed two new Koike Aronson Versagraph Millennium Series Plasma Cutting Systems (Model 3100). The system features Hypertherm HPR800XD HyPerformance® Plasma technology, which enables powerful precision cutting for superior quality and consistency up to 6.25-inch-thick stainless steel plate. The two machines operating on one shared rail system allows for a cutting envelope of 10 feet wide x 65 feet long.
PSP’s Koike Aronson Versagraph Millennium Series cutting solution provides unmatched speed, accuracy, versatility and durability in a plasma cutting system. Production benefits include optimum cut quality, less dross (cleaner cut edges), less kerf loss (narrow cut), and a smaller heat-affected zone (due to faster cut speeds). Additionally, the system yields a significantly reduced bevel angle on the cut edge (1° to 3° bevel angle compared to 7° to 10° with a standard plasma system).
According to Jim Seward, president of Penn Stainless, "This investment greatly enhances our plate processing capabilities, particularly on heavier gauges of stainless steel." Seward continued, "The new Koike Aronson system, combined with our recently added waterjet and laser systems, offers our customers many cutting options for precision processing and quick turnaround."
