As the press ram descends, the pressure pads make contact with the die plate,
driving the die and part downward in a vertical motion. At the same time, a
series of cams drive the die and part horizontally toward the punch from four
directions. This action causes the scrap material to be sheared from inside
toward the outside of the part, leaving virtually no burr on the outside. After
trimming, the part and scrap can be air ejected out of the die.

This method of trimming gives you a clean sheared edge leaving 100%
material thickness at the trimline. Overall height tolerances from the inside
of the part can normally be held within a few thousandths of an inch. Also trims drawn stampings

Standard dies can be used in almost any type of press. Our die requires the use of an air cushion. If one is not
available, we can supply a die with a built-in air or nitrogen cushion.

In many cases, the shimmy die process has been able to eliminate several manufacturing operations. Our ability
to trim, notch, and profile drawn shells and tubes in one stroke saves excessive handling and labor, as well as
perishable tooling.
