• Pneumatic Dot-Peen Pin Stamp Marker Station: Carbide tipped variable speed punch for marking bend lines, layout lines, drill locations and lettering/numbering as small as 1/4″ high.
• Plasma Plate Marking: Low amperage plasma marking with the ability to adjust marking depth through the CNC parameters.
• Oxy-Fuel Torch Stations (Up to four stations available): Model “G” motorized lifter, 6-inch (150 mm) stroke at 40 IPM. All stations are controlled from Operator console. 500L Koike torch offers 1/8″ to 12″ (3 mm to 300 mm) thick plate cutting available. Capacitive height control (not shown) and automatic ignition available (optional).
• Auto-Gas Oxy-Fuel Gas System: Precise control of gas manifold pressure. CNC controlled oxy-fuel processes.
• Hi-Lo Oxy-Fuel Gas System with Auto Ease-On: Allows hi-lo preheat for fast preheating of plate and superior cutting quality. Features auto ease-on pierce control for cut oxygen. Allows for precise piercing on thicker plate. Maximum 4 in (100 mm) thick material with 4 torches.

• Koike D7 Cutting Tips:
• ▪Marker and Plasma Marking▪Safer Option: Koike’s 100 Series tips are designed to reduce backfires to keep the operator and torch safe▪High Quality: Each tip is thoroughly tested to ensure consistent high-quality cutting in every tip▪Faster Cutting: Our high-speed divergent tip increases cutting speed by 20-28% over standard tips

  ▪Gas Savings: Gas consumption is reduced up to 26%

  ▪Durable: A stainless steel cutting oxygen liner results in the tip lasting up to five times longer over standard tips

• Koike Torch Bevel Head Attachment: The bevel head attachment is used in place of a Koike cutting tip. It is used for bevel cutting operations, including top and bottom bevel cuts.
• Koike Twin Tip Holder: Coverts a single oxy-fuel cutting torch into dual cutting torches. Allows strip cutting and a closer distance between small parts.
• Koike Zoned Downdraft Cutting Table: The Koike Downdraft table is as big, or as small, as most workpieces you’ve got. Its modular design lets you add space as you need it, with a maximum material thickness of 6 in. Operation is simple: there are no electronic components, and slat frames and slag pans remove easily for cleaning. Fume extraction is everything you need, thanks to multiple zones for optimal fume extraction. Downdraft tables are used primarily for plasma cutting and combined with fume extraction units that filter the air back to the factory. Downdraft tables provide the best option for high-quality cutting with high-density plasma systems.
• Koike Water Cutting Table: The Koike water cutting table is an economic solution to reducing smoke , sparks and dust into the environment. It can be used for both oxy-fuel and plasma cutting. While not the most optimized solution for high density plasma systems, it still provides good results in cut quality.Constructed out of 1/4″ thick steel the table offers a heavy duty design with re-enforced side walls for extra durability.The steel tank air bladder allows raising and lowering the water lever with air. The design of the table allows 6″ thick plate and under to be leveled to the table for more accurate cutting. 1/8″ thick slats are spaced 3″ apart and curved to help stop small parts from falling into table and prevent straight line cutting along a slat. This feature reduces slag along the bottom of parts and prolongs the life of the slats.Easy lift lugs allows you to lift the whole slat and pan assembly or each individual component of this assembly. As an example: it allows for the lifting of slats and the holder for easy access to collector pans.
• Fume Extraction Unit: For downdraft table
