The Triax A/T electronic key machine, for high security keys, has been discontinued and is being replaced by the Tri-Code H.S. (no additional “Triax A/T” units are available). Like the Triax A/T, the Tri-Code is an electronic model designed for cutting high security “laser type” keys for automotive applications by duplication, bitting number, or indirect code.
The Tri-Code H.S. retains popular features from its predecessor such as straightforward screen menus, soft touch keypad, easy-to-view LCD screen, large safety shield, and simple operation. The footprint and weight are nearly identical to the Triax A/T. It is also covered by a three year warranty and one year free update coverage. Durability, and consistent accuracy is synonymous with Silca electronic machines, and the Tri-Code H.S. is no exception!
Important new features include:
• Three-position vise clamp- Broad range of vehicles covered “right out of the box”.
• One cutter- The machine utilizes a single cutter for all covered lock applications
• Built in tip stops- No accessory tip stop components to lose!
- What type of key machine is the Tri-Code H.S.?
The Tri-Code-HS is an electronic machine, designed for cutting certain high security keys that are used in automotive applications. It has on-board electronics that manage machine operation, in conjunction with a built-in database of key cut specifications and codes. X-Y carriage movements are controlled by precision stepper motors.
- Can the machine’s electronic database be updated as new laser type automotive locking systems hit the market?
Yes …updates are supplied in CD format, and can easily be installed to the machine via a PC or laptop computer. Free updates are available for the first 12 months of machine ownership.
- What warranty coverage is provided?
The machine is covered by a three year parts and service warranty. Cutter wear or breakage, and damage caused by improper use is excluded.
- What kinds of keys can be cut on the Tri-Code H.S.?
The Tri-Code-HS will cut sidewinder / centerwinder keys (laser keys) for a broad range of vehicles that use this key style (Acura, Alfa Romeo, Aston Marti, Audi, BMW, Fiat, Ford EUR., General Motors, Holden, Honda EUR., Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lancia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lotus, Man, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Opel - Vauxhall, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault. Saab, Scania. Seat, Skoda, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo)
- Can the machine be adapted to cut dimple keys, or “traditional style” keys?
No …the Tri-Code-HS is designed exclusively for cutting laser style automotive keys.
- What modes of operation are offered?
The Tri-Code-HS will duplicate (from a working key), cut by bitting code, or in most instances, cut by indirect code.
- Are expensive optional vise jaws or cutters required to cut popular laser keys as with most similar products?
No …the machine is equipped with a unique “3-position” vise clamp that provides the clamping characteristics of three “separate” clamps, such as those used on competitive products. No optional items are needed, and no time loss in removing and installing specific vise clamps to cut laser keys for various applications. A single cutter suffices for all covered applications.
- Are special voltages (220 volt, 12 volt DC, etc.) available?
No …the Tri-code H.S. is only available in 110 volt AC configuration.
