Key2 Group’s new Trident 6010 has a processing width of 2159mm and a length of 3048mm
Available in a range of different sizes, AXYZ says the new Trident system can increase manufacturing output by as much as 50 percent and obviates the need to invest in two separate machines to carry out the routing, creasing and cutting requirements of digital print finishing.
The particular machine installed at Key2 Group is a Trident 6010 model, which has a processing width of 2159mm and a length of 3048mm.
Reflecting on the decision to purchase the AXYZ Trident, Mike Keating, managing director of Key2 Group, says the company intends to use the system to take on work from new markets.
“We chose the AXYZ Trident 6010 machine because it was quicker, cleaner and quieter than any previous generation of machine and could handle a much wider range of rigid and flexible materials,” Keating says.
Due to the versatility of Trident, we are also able to venture into new markets like packaging”
“Due to the versatility of Trident, we are also able to venture into new markets like packaging.”
Robert Marshall, vice-president market development for AXYZ International, adds: “Sign manufacturers are now venturing into new markets and digital print finishing specialists are being asked to work with a much wider range of both rigid and flexible materials.
“These invariably require longer, wider and deeper routing/cutting capabilities that traditional routers would find difficult to provide.
“The AXYZ Trident is one of the most advanced and highly innovative combined routing, cutting and finishing systems currently available.”
