Key Manufacturers M - Z
Trim presses remove excess material from the parts produced by die-casting equipment. In the die-casting process, the metal is heated until it is in a liquid state, then the die cast forces the liquid metal into a mold. The mold is also called a die. When the metal cools, it returns into a solid state. The cast is ejected by ejector pins. At this point, the trim press is used to remove excess material from the die. This excess material is called gate or flashing.
There are key manufacturers of trim presses in the die cast industry. While this page doesn't describe all of them, we hope to give you an overview and description of the major companies (M through Z).
