The Oakley Single End Trim Machine is a hand-loaded trim machine for heating elements that clamps each element and strips back the MgO and tubular sheath to expose the predetermined terminal pin length. It trims one end at a time, with elements manually removed, making it ideal for precise heating elements production at small to medium volumes.
For higher throughput, the Oakley Double End Trim Machine trims both ends of the element simultaneously and automatically ejects the finished element. This trim machine provides faster operation and increased efficiency, making it well-suited for high-volume heating elements production.
The concrete advantages that make the difference
Handles various element diameters, sheath materials, and lengths, suitable for both small and high-volume production.
Adjustable feed rates, variable cutter speeds, and double-end trimming allow up to500 ends per hour with fast, precise operation.
Enclosed cutter heads with vacuum/dust collection ensure contamination-free trimming, and the special cutter design enables quick setup and tool changes.
The operator loads the element into guide blocks and pushes it against a disappearing stop. The element is then clamped, the gage disappears, the element is trimmed at both ends, and then it is automatically ejected. This machine can be supplied formaximum element lengths from 600mm to 3650mm (2 to 12 feet) The trim heads are mounted on rails for simple and fast length adjustments. The production rate depends upon the length of the sheath to be trimmed, but should average up to 500 complete elements per hour. On both machines the cutter heads are enclosed and connected to a dust collector to prevent contamination. This enclosure has a quick clamp removal feature. Our special cutter head design makes cutter tool removal and setup exceedingly simple and fast.
This unit is intended for medium to small production levels but is very versatile and can easily be changed for different element diameters, materials, or lengths. Production will vary according to the length of the sheath to be removed and by operator efficiency, but typical production should range up to 500 trimmed ends per hour.
