Poseidon — the T-Rex saw with Hybrid Cycle™

A bridge saw and a machining centre in one machine. One operator, three steps — load, machine, unload. Up to 40% more output and up to 30% lower labour costs than a two-station setup.

T-Rex — American technology comes to Poland

Poseidon Industries, an American manufacturer of stone processing machinery, is bringing its flagship model — the T-Rex CNC bridge saw — to the European market. At the heart of every machine is the patented Hybrid Cycle™: a single process that replaces the whole chain of separate workstations. The slab goes onto the table once and comes off as a finished piece.

Poseidon T-Rex — slab on the work table

Hybrid Cycle™ — one machine, one operator

Instead of moving the slab between a saw and a separate machining centre, the T-Rex takes it once: loading, machining and finishing happen on one table, in one continuous cycle, with one operator.

The whole process without repositioning the slab

1. Milling and drilling
Pre-milling — milling and drilling
Sink cut-outs and tap holes are made before cutting, in the same slab clamping — nothing needs to be moved or re-referenced.
2. Poseidon Plunge™
Face-down cutting on vacuum cups
The slab lies face down on vacuum cups, and the blade enters from the underside. As a result, mitred joints come off the machine with no gaps, and dimensions repeat on every piece.
3. Edge polishing
Finishing on the table — edge polishing
The edge is polished without taking the piece off the table. The worktop comes off the machine ready for installation.

What this means in practice

Model S and Model X

The T-Rex comes in two sizes. Both run the same Hybrid Cycle™ and share the same design — they differ in the slab size they handle and spindle power. Each can be ordered with a single or double table.

T-Rex spindle machining a slab edge
T-Rex Model S
Standard format
The version most workshops start with. It handles standard worktop slabs and performs the full cycle — from cut-outs and cutting to edge polishing. It fits in a typical workshop without rebuilding.
  • Work table 406 × 305 cm (160″ × 120″)
  • X-axis travel 368 cm (145″), Y-axis 203 cm (80″)
  • 25 HP spindle (approx. 18.5 kW), 20″ blade (approx. 500 mm)
  • Weight approx. 7,700 kg (17,000 lbs)
  • Power supply 400 V + N, 80 A, 3-phase
  • Compressed air 8.6 bar (125 PSI), 620 l/min (22 CFM)
Poseidon T-Rex Model X
T-Rex Model X Giganto
Enlarged format
A larger version of Model S, designed for large-format slabs and series production. The wider table lets you machine whole sheets without pre-cutting, and the more powerful spindle maintains the feed rate in hard materials.
  • Enlarged table for large-format sheets
  • More powerful spindle than Model S
  • The same Hybrid Cycle™ and the same operation
  • For workshops cutting large formats and sintered stone
  • We confirm the exact specifications when choosing the configuration

The choice depends on how much you produce

Single table
A smaller footprint and a lower entry threshold. The machine works on one slab: the operator loads, the machine runs the cycle, the operator unloads. A good choice for made-to-order production.
Double table
Two work surfaces. While the machine cuts on one table, the operator loads the next slab onto the other — the spindle doesn't wait for the operator. A solution for continuous production.

Where the repeatability comes from

T-Rex bridge with a pentagonal cross-section
Pentagonal bridge
A pentagonal cross-section welded from structural steel damps the vibrations created during cutting. Less vibration means a cleaner edge and slower wear of mechanical parts.
T-Rex column and axis guides
Servo drives on five axes
The X, Y, Z, C and A axes are driven by brushless motors with an accuracy of around a thousandth of an inch (approx. 0.025 mm).
T-Rex tool magazine
20-tool magazine
Automatic tool changing covers both profile cutters and the blade. The cycle doesn't stop for retooling.
T-Rex blade with its guard
Saw and machining centre in one
A five-axis bridge saw combined with a four-axis machining centre. One control system, one referencing system, one operator.

The photos show a machine from the T-Rex line — both sizes share the same design and differ in table size. Specifications are given by the manufacturer and converted to metric units. We confirm the final configuration, dimensions and installation requirements at the quotation stage — tell us which slabs you cut and what your hall is like, and we will choose the version.

Not just the T-Rex

Poseidon also builds bridge saws, edge polishers and workstation equipment. Every machine is delivered with installation and operator training.

From repossessing machines to a factory of its own

Poseidon Industries grew out of an unusual experience: its founder got to know stone machinery by repossessing it from workshops that could not repay their leases in the 2008 crisis.

  1. 2008Crisis

    Hundreds of machines, each one different

    During the financial crisis Joe Alva repossessed CNC machining centres from stone workshops. Along the way he installed, serviced and commissioned virtually every brand of machining centre and bridge saw in the industry — and saw what went wrong with each of them.

  2. 2010Founding

    Poseidon Industries is founded

    Alva founds his own company in Punta Gorda, Florida. The machines are designed and built in the United States, on the principle that they must withstand the realities of shift work in a workshop.

  3. Hybrid Cycle™Patent

    Cutting and milling without moving the slab

    Every Poseidon machine has the patented Hybrid Cycle™, which combines the work of a bridge saw and a machining centre in a single slab clamping. That is where the productivity gain comes from, without a second workstation or a second operator.

  4. T-RexDesign

    A steel bridge with a pentagonal cross-section

    The flagship T-Rex saw is welded from steel, with an unusual pentagonal bridge designed to limit vibration during cutting. Besides the T-Rex series, the manufacturer offers edge polishers, other saws and lifting and automation equipment.
