Carriage
The Original.
Since 1951, when the first model was released in Japan, the Koike IK-12 series have been serving professionals who demand the highest quality in plate cutting.
The first generation, Japan, 1951
Today, the state-of-the-art 7th generation, the IK-12 NEXT has an increased stable and more accurate speed control system due to the encoder motor and electronics. The system can easily be adjusted with the dial knop and values are displayed in a digital scale. The speed parameters can be adjusted over a wide range (40 - 2400mm/min). The “CREEP MODE” (patent pending) is a welcome function to add user control at start/end point of thick plate cutting. The advanced design, accurate constant speed, wide range of input voltage, contributes to an extremely reliable and multi-functional carriage.
Overview of the unit
■ It offers excellent operability.
■ It can travel over a wide speed range, from 40-2400 mm/min. It incorporates a motor equipped with an encoder and the actu- al speed is displayed on a digital display.
■ Three speed settings can be saved by using the speed preset- ting function.
■ Pressing the “Creep” button, instantly switches to slow mode travel to help to prevent uncut material being left at the start and finished ends when cutting thick material.
■ The incorporated arc coupling function enables both plasma cutting and arc welding by changing the torch set.
■ A weaving control function is incorporated, making it possible to perform weaving welding by installing the optional kit to mount the WU-3R weaving unit, with no need to add an extra control box.
■ Torch sets, rails and other accessories of the existing IK-12 MAX3 model can be used without modification.
