Future proof design

The Trident is designed in such a way that the main structure of the system will still be suitable for use with the inevitable advances in cutting & controller technology. Some systems, built over 15 years ago have recently been retrofitted with the latest PDF32 CNC hardware and plasma systems, with resulting performance that outstrips significantly the performance of brand new competitive machines.

The Trident can be quipped with a wide range of plasma and oxy-fuel cutting torches, on a multiple number of torch carriages. This flexibility enables each system to be configured to exactly match your needs, while also retaining the capacity for future extension of the tooling as your business grows.

The Trident incorporates functions for easier machine set up and faster operation. These include auto torch spacing, fast pierce, user set home tables, partial retract, two button retrace and laser spot alignment.

The individual machine components have all been designed or selected for superior performance, while also optimizing reliability and long-life. In some cases, the components would appear to be over-specified for the performance parameters but this ensures that the requirements of continuous operation for high volume production are not jeopardized by running components right up to their capacity.

The use of caterpillar type hose carriers prevents catching while minimizing the hose and cable length required. The drive systems do not utilize complicated compensation systems that can be subject to failure or which are difficult to tune and maintain. Precision height sensing devices deliver better cut quality, longer consumable life and reduced changeover time.
