Trinity Products fabricate bridge beams with the Ocean Liberator CNC Coper.

Posted on April 24, 2012 by oceansblog

Rich Adams of Trinity Products in O’Fallon Missouri tells us how the Ocean Liberator 5-axis CNC coping machine makes his life easier by coping beams accurately, by removing the manual layout and fit up required, by removing the modification and weld-fill normally associated with manual layout and coping of beams. The Ocean Liberator typically completes their copes in 1/10th the time it would take to do manually.

Not only does it complete the cope in 1/10th the time to do it manually, but it also

saves time and money in the fit-up process
saves time and money in the welding process, and
saves time and money in the field erection process
