The Triform 25-10-12SC is fully programmable and can operate in either of two modes:

• Fluid Cell Process Mode
• Deep Draw Process Mode

The full featured controls of the 25-10-12SC can store 500+ jobs and handle recipes with up to 30 steps. This Triform offers sequential programming of pressure and punch position, and the operator interface data/program screens also include:

• System Diagnostics
• Alarm Handling and Logging
• “In-Sight” Feature for visual inspection
• Multi-level password protection
• OEM set-up screen for remote system performance adjustments
• PLC Input / Output visualization
• Batch Counter

A traditional VPN connection via an Ethernet cable allows for the press system to be monitored by the factory for immediate technical support through the PressLink remote support system.

The Triform line of Sheet Hydroforming Presses was developed in direct response to an unmet need in the marketplace for modern sheet hydroforming equipment.

At the time (2007), companies searching for sheet hydroforming presses were faced with equally unappealing options. Manufacturers of new sheet hydroforming equipment were extremely scarce, with new machine prices corresponding to the lack of competition. Those unable to afford new sheet hydroforming technology often resorted to sourcing used equipment which was manufactured from the 1950's - 1970's. These used machines presented several potential hazards including outdated hydraulic & control systems, a lack of available service & support and high transportation & intstallation costs.

Pryer, a leading provider of structural components, assemblies and kits to the aerospace industry, through their extensive utilization of sheet hydroforming equipment, understood clearly the hole which existed in the market. They began an exhaustive search to locate a machinery manufacturer with the experience & capabilities required to develop a modern answer to those aging machines manufactured decades ago.

This search led to Beckwood Press Company, a manufacturer of custom hydraulic presses & automation systems with nearly four decades of experience in product design, development and manufacturing, based in St. Louis, MO USA.

Beckwood leveraged its experience and in-house engineering & manufacturing resources - along with the sheet hydroforming process/application knowledge Pryer had amassed since its founding in 1965 - to create the first Triform in time for display at Fabtech 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the years since, numerous advanced Fluid Cell & Deep Draw Triform presses have been manufactured & delivered to facilities across the globe, including in Mexico, India, China, South Africa and the United States.
