How much does the Koike Aronson ShopPro cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Koike Aronson ShopPro 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 ShopPro is a unitized CNC plasma table for small shops, built in three sizes: the SP-44, the SP-48 and the SP-510. Effective cutting area runs from 4 ft x 4 ft (1.2 m x 1.2 m) to 5 ft x 10 ft (1.5 m x 3.0 m), the plasma systems offered are 45-125 amp, and the table capacity is 2 in (51 mm) of mild steel.

What separates this table from the two heavier ShopPro variants is its motion package and its table. The drive is stepper, through precision helical gearboxes onto a helical rack with a pinion on each side of the gantry. The table is a water pan insert, and it is light: the SP-44 weighs 1,300 lb (590 kg) and the SP-510 3,500 lb (1,588 kg), against 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) for the 5 x 10 size of the ShopProXHD. Rapid traverse is 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) and machine repeatability is 0.0015 in (0.04 mm).

Installation asks little of the building. The machine runs on 115/1/60 at 15 amp, so the plasma power supply is the only heavy electrical service to plan for. Water capacity is 65 gallons (246 L) on the SP-44 and 220 gallons (833 L) on the SP-510. The control is a FlashCut CNC 21 in touchscreen panel PC, and Koike supplies the FlashCut CNC PRO software with integrated 2D CAM/CAD, so drawing, nesting and cutting happen at the machine.

Tool capacity is 2. The options are an oxy-fuel torch, a pneumatic scribe and the ShopPipe attachment, which takes pipe up to 6 in (152 mm) in diameter with a 1/2 in (12.7 mm) wall and up to 8 ft (2.44 m) long. The oxy-fuel torch parks on the back of the torch carriage when it is not in use.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Runs on 115/1/60 at 15 amp, so only the plasma power supply needs heavier service
Three sizes from 4 ft x 4 ft (1.2 m x 1.2 m) to 5 ft x 10 ft (1.5 m x 3.0 m) of effective cutting area
Machine repeatability of 0.0015 in (0.04 mm) from a dual side drive with helical rack and 25 mm profile linear rail
FlashCut CNC PRO software with integrated 2D CAM/CAD is part of the package, on a 21 in touchscreen panel PC
Optional ShopPipe attachment cuts pipe up to 6 in (152 mm) in diameter and 8 ft (2.44 m) long

Limitations

Stepper drive and 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) rapid traverse; the ShopProXHD Katana reaches 2,000 ipm (50.8 m/min) with servo drives
Table capacity is 2 in (51 mm) of mild steel, and plasma systems stop at 125 amp
The largest size is the SP-510; a 6 ft x 12 ft plate needs the ShopProXHD
Oxy-fuel, scribe and pipe cutting are all options, and tool capacity is 2

Best For

Small fabrication shops cutting sheet and light plate by air plasma Shops without three-phase power at the machine location Occasional pipe work with the optional ShopPipe attachment Shops that want CAD, nesting and CNC in one software package

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What sizes does the ShopPro come in?

Three. The SP-44 has an effective cutting area of 4 ft x 4 ft (1.2 m x 1.2 m), the SP-48 4 ft x 8 ft (1.2 m x 2.4 m) and the SP-510 5 ft x 10 ft (1.5 m x 3.0 m). Machine width is 80 1/2 in (2,045 mm) on the SP-44 and 152 1/2 in (3,874 mm) on the SP-510, and machine length without the CNC is 72 in (1,829 mm) or 84 in (2,134 mm).

02 What power does the ShopPro need?

The machine itself is listed at 115/1/60 at 15 amp. That figure covers the table, drives and control. The plasma power supply is separate, and with 45-125 amp plasma systems on offer its supply depends on the unit chosen, so check the plasma maker's requirement before the electrician comes.

03 How thick can the ShopPro cut?

Table capacity is 2 in (51 mm) of mild steel. Plasma systems from 45 to 125 amp are offered, and the optional oxy-fuel torch is described by Koike as extending the cutting capability up to 2 in. (50mm). Plate heavier than that belongs on one of Koike's gantry machines.

04 How does the ShopPro differ from the ShopProXHD?

The ShopPro uses stepper drives and a water pan insert table and weighs 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) in the SP-510 size. The ShopProXHD uses servo drives, offers a water or downdraft table, adds a 6 ft x 12 ft size and takes plasma systems up to 200 amp. Both list 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) rapid traverse and 0.0015 in (0.04 mm) repeatability.

05 Can the ShopPro cut pipe?

Yes, with the optional ShopPipe attachment. It handles pipe up to 6 in (152 mm) in diameter with a 1/2 in (12.7 mm) wall, up to 8 ft (2.44 m) long, on a direct-drive chuck. The tool head folds down when the attachment is not in use, which saves floor space.
