Penn Stainless Installs New Plasma Cutter

Penn Stainless Products, Inc. (PSP; Jackson Center, PA) recently installed a new Koike Aronson Versagraph Millennium Series 6300 plasma cutting system in their Jackson Center facility. This new unit provides western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio with the same high quality cuts that are available through the PSP shop in Quakertown, PA, but at shorter delivery times. The system utilizes Hypertherm HPR800XD HyPerformance® Plasma technology for a clean, consistent cut up to 2.5 in thick and features an extra-wide cutting envelope of 10 ft wide x 40 ft long. This new plasma cutting system brings the company’s total count to three units. Capabilities include fine-feature cuts, a quick disconnect torch for fast, reliable performance, and a significantly reduced bevel angle of 1 deg to 3 deg for narrow cleft. PSP is also increasing plate inventory at the Jackson Center shop. For larger plasma-cut parts up to 6-1/4 in thick, they can process in Quakertown and deliver to customers in Western PA and Eastern OH within days.

“The additional plasma cutter in Jackson Center will allow us to support our customers in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio with equipment that is established in this market space,” explained Jason Martineau, the regional general manager of Penn Stainless. “It will enable us to offer better lead times and more control over the cutting process locally.”
