New Design Enhancements to Thermal Cutting System



"Koike Aronson, Inc./Ransome, a manufacturer of metal cutting and positioning equipment, announced several design enhancements to the Versagraph Extreme, the most advanced integrated thermal cutting machine in Koike's line of cutting systems. The new Versagraph Extreme features improved gearbox resolution, increased torque and low backlash, and a larger and stiffer main beam for less Z deflection and greater load carrying capabilities. The Extreme also features heavy-duty rails, a heavy-duty rack, and a module design that allows the operator to add a bevel or other equipment without making major changes," said a company spokesperson.

The Versagraph Extreme is available in a wide range of cutting widths from 96 in. to 288 in. Up to 10 oxy-fuel stations and up to four plasma stations, including dual full-contour plasma bevel stations, can be configured. Maximum rapid traverse speed is 1,400 IPM. "The machine still offers all the advantages of the Versagraph line: excellent cutting accuracy, durability, reliability, heavy-duty construction, 3-axis 12 HP AC servo drives and an easy-to-use controller / operator interface," said the spokesperson.
