Twister Superb Edge Quality
Twister Fine Plasma is appreciated for its superb edge quality
on mild steel and stainless steel.
This 1/2 in. sample cut on a
Root Twister TFPV 60 kW
demonstrates both the precise edge quality of the Twister Fine Plasma
torch, and the versatility of the bevel cutting torch head on this
model. Note the precise two pass cutting on the outer edge,
with both curved and straight cuts. Note also the clean
cut edge of bevel cut central hole. The excellent edge is typical
of cuts on all
Twister
models from the versatile
TFP3051
with 5 x 10 ft. table and 30 kW (150 Amp) fine plasma torch,
to the larger
TFPL series
machines in 8 and 10 ft widths
with the 30 kW or 60 kW (300 Amp) torch
and standard lengts of 20 or 40 ft. extendable to 100 ft.

Twister Fine Plasma
Komatsu's
Twister Fine Plasma products represent
the latest technology in plasma cutting of metals
that started with the first line of Fine Plasma
cutting machines in 1989. In the 1990's through
today the Komatsu Fine Plasma technology has been
the backbone of the
Rasor Series
of Fine Plasma
Cutting Machines recognized for the high quality
precision cutting and outstanding service and support.
The Twister Series continues this tradition,
adding more power and patented technology enhancements that
produce superior cut surface finishes to laser
at a fraction of
the initial cost, production time, and production cost.
The Twister Series is available to expand your production
capacity and to start saving now!
Komatsu Fine Plasma power supplies, torches, and cutting machines
are designed and built by Komatsu Industries Corporation (KIC).

TFP3051 30 kW 5 x 10 ft.
The
TFP3051
features a 5 ft. by 10 ft. cutting
surface and the Twister 30 kW (150 Amp) Fine Plasma
torch. It will cut Mild Steel up to 1" thick,
Aluminum up to 5/8", and Stainless Steel up to 3/4".
It includes the QuickSilver process that produces
superior cutting speeds and edge quality when cutting
Stainless Steel. Cutting speeds are improved and dross
is reduced due to
the high power plasma unit and high speed Twister
gas. Pierce times are reduced due to incorporating
automatic gas change during the touch sensor cycle.
Cut quality is improved by control of main gas flow
and arc mode based on hole size. Spraying anti-spatter
directly through the torch improves hole cut quality
and consumables life. The push-pull zoned exhaust system
greatly reduces fumes while cutting. A mechanical
spatter splash shield is activated during piercing.
The February 2007 issue of FFJournal has an article titled
"Winds of Change, A new kind of twister hits Hickey Metal Fabrication".
This article describes Hickey Metal Fabrication's
experience with the
Twister TFP3051
Order the
TFP3051 with the High Body Factory Installed Option
to increase the Z-Axis stroke from 5 in. to about 12 in.
This allows cutting of square pipe and other structural members
without decreasing accuracy when cutting sheet metal and plate.

TFPL Series 30 and 60 kW, 8 or 10 ft. by 20 or 40 ft.
The
TFPL Series features larger table sizes,
and all of the cutting technology
enhancements described above with the TFP3051.
Tables are available in 8 or 10 ft. widths
and 20 or 40 ft. lengths. Choose either
the 30 kW (150 Amp) or 60 kW (300 Amp)
Twister Fine Plasma Unit and Torch.
The 60 kW Fine Plasma includes the cutting
capabilities of the 30 kW, but extends the
maximum cutting capacity for Mild Steel to
1.5" by using the higher plasma power unit and larger
nozzle sizes. A light curtain and tape emergency
stop are included for safety. Ultra-solid carriage,
and linear guides achieve high quality, precision
cutting.
Extended length machines are available in 1 meter increments
up to around 100 feet.
See some extended length TFPL Machines installed in China...
The TFPV Series features a bevel cutting 60 kW torch
that can be used to accurately and efficiently cut welding grooves.
A CCD Camera is used in second cut positioning to compensate
for piece movement after the first cut.
