The first UK installation of the recently-launched hybrid AXYZ Trident integrated digital print finishing system has taken place at Hampshire-based Key2 Group.
Established in 2002, the company is a provider of plastic fabrication, signage, acrylic point-of-sale and large-format digital printing solutions. It has taken the Trident 6010 model with a width of 2154mm and a length of 3048mm.
“Due to the versatility of Trident, we are able to venture into new markets like packaging,” said managing director Mike Keating.
The AXYZ Trident incorporates a triple-head configuration featuring a CNC routing spindle with oscillating and tangential knife-cutting units. These are interchangeable to enable the processing of frequently problematical thin materials like vinyl, cardboard and paper and thicker and heavier materials such as aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, aluminium composites (ACM), acrylic and foamed boards.
