＜Construction＞

• New trimming mechanism supports the seat of the head during the trimming hit to maintain the desired head angularity.
• A normal kickout action is executed after the trimming hit to forcefully eject the blank from the die. This system guarantees a stable high-speed trimming action.
• Blank delivery transfer at the final station lets you chuck the trimmed blank out of the former, or you can eject the blank through the punch. Use whichever system best for the job.

＜Benefit＞

• Allows you to trim larger head diameters in relation to shank diameters, and to trim thinner head sections with greater precision.
• Lets you trim non-round, odd shape head with greater precision and dependability.

＜Construction＞

• Gripper block forcibly locks the wire in the cutoff die during the cutoff stroke.

＜Benefit＞

• Wire spring-back and buckling are eliminated. All slugs are cut to the same precise volume so finished blanks are formed with minimal dimensional variation.

＜Construction＞

• Blank Catch Action
  Assist-Saver arm catches and holds the kicked-out blank in front of the die where it is picked-up by the transfer chuck. You get a completely dependable transfer action, even for extremely short blanks.
  
• Blank Insertion Action
  Assist-Saver also provides a "pusher" action that partially inserts blanks into the die before the forging hit. Eliminates blank drops and off-center hits for short blanks.
  

＜Benefit＞

• Provides reliable high-speed transfer for short blanks and those having step cross sections.
• Simplifies tooling design, and allows certain tooling to be used for different jobs.
• The header sets up faster and easier because finger open and close timing remains constant regardless of workpiece or tooling configuration.
