SAS Automation Introduces New Guillotine Gate Trimmer
XENIA, OHIO (July 2007) - SAS Automation introduces a new gate trimmer for plastics parts called: Guillotine Gate Trimmer. This tool is designed with a razor sharp blade positioned at a 45 degree angle to precisely shear a sprue gate in hard to reach narrow places. The equipment was designed to hold the blade on a special cylinder to precisely actuate the gate cutting process. The cylinder can be mounted in many angles to access hard to reach sprue gates. This style of gate cutting uniquely allows for a very hard to reach areas to become accessed with this actuated guillotine motion from the cylinder.
