Trim Presses
Shuttle Bed Trim Press
This press is perfect for placing into an automated robotic system. After a part is extracted from a machine, the robot places it onto the shuttle bed. The lower trim die is mounted to the shuttle bed so that it can be moved under the ram. Once the robot is clear of the press, the trim press will retract its shuttle until it is aligned with the top of the trim die. After the shuttle is in position, the ram will cycle to trim the part. While the ram is in cycle, a parts tray will lift and gravity feed the trimmed parts from the previous cycle out of the cell.
Upon the ram completing the cycle, the part tray will lower and the shuttle will extend back to its original position. Once the shuttle is fully extended, a rotary actuator will rotate the die to dump the scrap from the trimmed part. After the scrap is removed, the die will rotate back to its home position and wait for a new part.
Advantages to the Shuttle Bed Trim Press Include:
- Less trim die repair due to improved method of scrap removal
- Unlimited overhead clearance for robot to load trim die
- Dies can easily be changed with overhead crane
- Part removal from trim die is integrated into press
- Existing trim dies do not need to be modified for scrap removal
- Less dowtime for robotic loading errors with improved scrap handling
Manual Trim Press
The image at the right is an example of the Manual Trim Presses that ComTech produces. The press is built to give maintenance-free production with safety in mind.
The press is powered by a hydraulic unit that can offer multiple ram speeds.
Designed for both safety and performance, our Manual Trim Press delivers reliable, maintenance-free production in any environment. The powerful hydraulic unit offers multiple ram speeds, giving you precise control over your trimming process. Whether you're loading parts manually with an operator or integrating the press into a fully automated cell, this machine adapts to your workflow. For automated applications, we offer an optional part removal chute that streamlines the process, ensuring consistent and efficient production.
