Klein Steel Upgrades Processing Capability with Koike Aronson Burn Table
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) April 16, 2015 -- Klein Steel Service Inc., a full-line metals service center with a worldwide distribution network, is pleased to announce the addition of a new Versagraph Extreme CNC plasma/oxy-fuel cutting machine to its existing fleet of burn tables, which greatly enhances the company’s efficiencies and ability to offer previously unmatched hole quality.
The Koike Aronson Versagraph Extreme has been fitted with the Hypertherm HyPerformance® Plasma HRP400XD and True Hole™ technology. With a production pierce of 50 mm (2") for mild steel and 75 mm (3") for stainless steel, the HRP400XD delivers the ultimate in mild steel plasma cutting performance with the versatility to deliver industry leading stainless steel cut quality. In addition, the patent-pending True Hole cutting technology produces significantly better hole quality than previously possible using plasma.
“Our goal is to leverage this new equipment across three shifts daily to increase our machining capability—including meeting fixture base plate requirements quickly and easily without incurring a secondary process,” said Todd Zyra, President. “This, in turn, frees up our high-speed drill line to meet incremental customer needs with reduced lead times.”
“Our team is constantly evaluating new equipment that will enable Klein Steel to best meet our customers’ needs today and in the future,” added Jim Sloan, Director of Operations. “When it comes to plasma/oxy-fuel technology, we always come back to Koike Aronson. For the past 20 years, they have continually served us well with maximum uptime and productivity.”
