Komatsu Plasma Cutting Systems are a cost effective alternative to laser cutters, by providing precision quality cutting at lower initial cost and production cost. The TFP3062 6 x 12 150 Amp (30kw). has a 6 x 12 ft. table, new FANUC 0iMC CNC, and rearranged gas controls for easier access next to the CNC. NC program storage capacity has been doubled. A USB port can be used to load NC programs. The new features are also part of the new model TFP3051 Mark IIIα 5 x 10. See the Twister Flash Movie for videos comparing models and features.

The Twister TFP3051 Mark IIIα is the latest model 5x10 30 kW (150 Amp) CNC Fine Plasma cutting system from Komatsu. All Komatsu Plasma Cutters feature arc voltage height control. Marking is done using the plasma torch and argon gas. The extended stroke high body option increases capacity for steel tube cutting.
