Twister TFP 3 Series

KOMATSU has succeeded in creating a machine that can keep up with the industry’s demands regardless of metal type or thickness, without having to sacrifice quality. The TFP 3 series plasma cutting machine is an innovative precision plasma cutter that features lower running cost, high performance, and higher productivity, achieving major improvements when cutting steel plate from 0.25in.-1.50in. when compared to conventional systems.

Our “TWISTER gas flow control” (Patent Pending) technology allows the disparity between upper- and lower-hole size to reduce substantially, creating a cleaner and closer tolerance on every hole. Our patented TWISTER gas technology (No.2689310, No.2997224) pushes a powerful downward spiral flow around the arc, reducing the amount of dross produced on every part.

Thanks to our redesigned plasma torch, we have created a significant advance in plasma cutting technology. Our TFP & TFPL 3 series machines come with an innovative torch design that allows you to go from Plasma to Oxyfuel cutting on the same torch in a matter of minutes. Our unique “Single Cartridge” consumable has an increased cut quality and accuracy that has been obtained thanks to its exclusive nozzle design and new cutting process. The 1 piece set up reduces time and inventory from 6 individual parts to 1. It offers a 60% increase in consumable life when compared with our old style, that is more than double the productivity, with increased performance and less operator intervention.

Technology in the TWISTER TFP & TFPL Series is protected by US Patents, and other Patents Pending.
