AXIZ TRIDENT

The most versatile router-knife combination in its class.

Digital finishers are being asked to do more including routing aluminium and acrylic and cutting/trimming paper, vinyl, foam board, coroplast, styrene and rubber. As a result, we challenged our engineering team to develop a CNC router that meets the traditional demands of the digital finishing industry while delivering overwhelming power to take on broader projects.

Trident is an innovative hybrid CNC production system which combining heavy-duty routing with fast knife cutting for processing the broadest range of materials in all print finishing, signmaking, foam and graphics applications

Processing a wide range of materials requires more than one cutting head. The Trident combines three different cutting technologies to provide maximum versatility by offering a choice of routing spindle and two knives which can be either tangential, oscillating, or a combination of both.

Choice of Knife Tools

The oscillating knife will easily slice materials such as soft or hard foam, delivering clean-cut edges. The tangential knife with its multiple blade options can cut a wide range of harder, heavier materials.

Router Spindle Options

Choose from manual, quick-release, high-power and high-speed spindles which can operate at speeds up to 40,000rpm. These allow effortless processing of tough materials such as aluminium, acrylic and woods.

Solid Machine Base

A rigid, welded steel frame, fitted with an aluminium deck, creates a strong structure to support the most demanding processes.

Zoned Vacuum Deck

All Trident machines have machined aluminium vacuum decks to maximise material hold-down for quality cutting and reduced waste.

Helical Rack and Pinion with Servo Motors

The helical rack and pinion provides superior high-speed performance delivering greater accuracy, smoother cutting and quieter running. For high-volume applications where cycle times need to be kept to a minimum, the powerful servo drives can increase productivity.

SmartConsole

Full machine control at your fingertips for fast and easy machine setup in an intuitive and compact package.

Tool Length Sensor

An automatic tool-length sensor which ensures accurate and consistent cut depths is fitted as standard on all Trident machines.

Pumps and Blowers

Select from a range of high-power pumps or blowers to suit machine size and application requirements.

Process Areas

Choose your preferred process width and then specify a length from 1219mm to 15m or even more.

Choice of Knife Tools

Fitting a variety of knife tools can broaden the range of materials that can be processed. Choose from a tangential knife, oscillating knife and heavy-duty collet drag knife.

Router Spindle Options

Spindles are available from quality manufacturers such as HSD and Elte with power outputs from 3Hp to more than 10Hp, a choice of manual, semi or fully automatic toolchange and high speed options for specialist applications.

Camera Registration

The AXYZ Vision System (AVS) uses registration marks on printed materials to adjust the cutting program for perfect alignment. This essential option for cut-to-print applications works with all cutting tools and materials.

ATC - Automatic Tool Changer

For maximum productivity Trident machines can be fitted with an automatic toolchange carousel containing 7, 21 or even 33 tool stations. The carousel is mounted on the gantry to minimise the toolchange time

Alignment

Pneumatically operated steel pop-up pins are useful for ensuring repeatable material placement. The number and positioning of the pins is fully customisable.

Dust Collection

When using routing spindles the removal of dust and debris is vital for good quality edge finish and for health and safety. The AXYZ High Capacity and Universal 5Y Pressure Feet are designed to assist material hold down and also maximize extraction under all types of cutting conditions.

Spray Mister

Certain materials, in particular aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, often cut better with a small amount of lubricant or coolant. The Unist Mister option will automatically apply a pre-set amount to the tool during cutting and is compatible with all pressure feet options.
