Portable cutting and welding
The IK-12 Next from Koike Aronson is versatile because it can both cut and weld. The machine was designed with two patented features, a heat emission mechanism and a creep control button. The heat emission mechanism is ergonomically designed to displace up to 45 percent of all heat. The creep control button is used to slow down the machine at the beginning and the end of a cut, which is especially useful for thick plate cutting.
