Koike Aronson Ransome has released the portable IK-12 Next system, which offers plasma and oxyfuel cutting as well as general welding and pendulum weave welding. The machine’s patented heat emission mechanism is designed to displace up to 45% of all heat. Its patented creep control button slows down the machine at the beginning and end of a cut to help improve thick plate cutting.

The unit comes standard with a multifunction digital control panel that enables the operator to set a variety of parameters. Its powertrain allows for specific positioning and helps ensure continuous drive speed and pulling force regardless of power fluctuations and varying load weight.
