How much does the Koike Aronson Plate Pro cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Koike Aronson Plate Pro that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Koike Aronson Plate Pro is a pedestal-rail CNC plasma and oxy-fuel machine for plate shops with limited space, built as the PLP1500, PLP2000 and PLP2500. Effective cutting width is 60 in (1,524 mm), 72 in (1,829 mm) or 96 in (2,438 mm), and cutting length is 10 ft, 12 ft, 20 ft or 24 ft. Koike lists a table capacity of 6 in (152 mm) and plasma systems from 45 to 200 amp.

This is the lightest of Koike's rail machines in its motion package. The drive is stepper, the cross axis runs on a replaceable linear roundway, and rapid traverse is 800 ipm (20.3 m/min) with a maximum contour speed of 400 ipm (10.2 m/min). The rail sits on a pedestal weldment at the side of the table instead of on the floor, which is what keeps the footprint small: total machine width is 133 in (3,378 mm) on the PLP1500 and 169 in (4,293 mm) on the PLP2500.

Up to 4 tools can be carried, with a maximum of 2 slave stations and 2 plasma or marker stations. The oxy-fuel stations use a motorized lifter with a 6-inch (150 mm) stroke, and the Hi-Lo gas system is rated for a maximum of 4 in (100 mm) thick material with 3 torches. Heavier plate is therefore a one-torch job.

The standard control is a FlashCut CNC 21 in panel PC and the machine voltage is 115/1/60. The optional manual plasma bevel station bevels in the rail axis only. Water and downdraft tables are both offered; the brochure notes that the cutting table shown is optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What sizes is the Plate Pro available in?

Three widths and four lengths. The PLP1500 has 60 in (1,524 mm) of effective cutting width, the PLP2000 72 in (1,829 mm) and the PLP2500 96 in (2,438 mm). Each can be ordered with a cutting length of 10 ft, 12 ft, 20 ft or 24 ft. Table height is 30 in (762 mm) on all of them.

02 How many torches can the Plate Pro carry?

The table lists up to 4 tools, with a maximum of 2 slave stations and a maximum of 2 plasma or marker stations. The brochure describes up to three oxy-fuel stations, each on a motorized lifter with a 6-inch (150 mm) stroke, controlled from the operator console.

03 How thick can the Plate Pro cut?

Koike gives a table capacity of 6 in (152 mm). With the Hi-Lo oxy-fuel gas system and 3 torches cutting together the maximum is 4 in (100 mm) thick material. Plasma thickness depends on the system chosen from the 45-200 amp range.

04 What control and drives does the Plate Pro use?

The standard machine CNC is a FlashCut CNC 21 in panel PC, and the drive system is stepper. Rapid traverse is 800 ipm (20.3 m/min) and the maximum contour speed is 400 ipm (10.2 m/min). Limit switches on both axes handle over-travel and homing.
