Casting finishing and trimming

Trimming presses are used to remove runners, overflows and burrs from castings safely and reproducibly after the casting process. They are an important part of casting finishing, especially for die cast, gravity die cast and low pressure cast parts.

Used trimming presses are particularly interesting when existing casting cells need to be expanded, manual finishing work reduced or a stable downstream process after the die casting machine is required. Key selection factors include press force, table design, tool mounting, component size and integration into the material flow.

From casting to clean downstream processing

After casting, runners, overflows, burrs and in some cases gating systems must be removed in a controlled way. A trimming press can perform this step reproducibly, safely and much more efficiently than purely manual finishing.

Feed the casting The part is transferred to the press manually, by robot or with handling equipment.
Position the tool Trimming tool and part fixture must match the geometry of the casting precisely.
Remove burrs The press removes burrs, runners or overflows with defined force and movement.
Transfer the part The trimmed part can be inspected, transported or passed on to further machining steps.

Which trimming press fits the casting?

The selection of a trimming press depends heavily on the component, the trimming tool and the desired level of automation. Small die cast parts require different solutions than large structural or housing components. Whether parts are loaded manually or handled automatically also influences the suitable press design.

FISS Machines offers used trimming presses for different requirements, including C-frame presses, 3-column and 4-column trimming presses as well as machines with sliding table, tilting table or sliding/tilting table. If no suitable machine is currently listed online, FISS can search specifically for a suitable trimming press, deburring press or column press.

C-frame trimming presses

C-frame presses often provide good access to the working area and, depending on the design, are suitable for small to medium-sized castings, manual processes or simple automation solutions.

3-column and 4-column presses

Column presses provide stable guidance and are often used when larger tools, higher forces or repeatable movement sequences are required in the trimming process.

Sliding and tilting tables

Sliding, tilting or sliding/tilting tables can make loading, unloading and tool access easier. They are particularly useful when handling, safety and cycle time need to be improved.

What to check when buying a used trimming press

When buying a used trimming press, the press force is only one of several important factors. The machine, tool, component size, platen size, stroke, table design and control system must match the planned trimming process.

Press force and force reserve for the trimming tool
Platen size, column distance, installation height and stroke
C-frame, 3-column or 4-column design
Sliding, tilting or sliding/tilting table
Control system, safety technology and operating concept
Integration with robot, conveyor technology or casting cell
Condition of hydraulics, guides, table and tool mounting
Transportability, dismantling effort and later recommissioning

Trimming presses in the die casting cell

In automated casting cells, the trimming press is often directly integrated into the material flow. After removal from the die, the casting can be transferred to the press by robot, gripper, conveyor technology or intermediate stations.

To keep the process stable, cycle time, tool mounting, part handling, safety areas and interfaces to the die casting machine or automation equipment must be considered together. Especially at high production volumes, the coordination between die casting machine, robot, trimming press and conveyor technology determines economic efficiency.
