The trimming process follows the moulding process and is a critical step to achieve good quality parts. It allows the removel of redundant material to achieve desired shape. Runners and flushes are cutted out and fall down to the bin under press, holes are cleaned and pure article is received finally. Also other operations, (e.g. drilling) are possible during trimming stage. It saves time and reduces production cost. In advanced foundries robot takes out cast from casting machine and places precisely on trimming tools. After trimming, transporter takes away parts to the collective basket. Everything is controlled with sensors and no human work is required which is crucial to reduce production costs and keep repeatability.
