A method for trimming a rectangular container and an apparatus trimming a rectangular container are provided, by which an appropriate cut surface with a possible crack or burr suppressed can be obtained when a rectangular container is trimmed. When a punch cutter is initially allowed to cut into a rectangular tubular portion of an untrimmed rectangular container, the punch cutter is inclined relative to a thickness direction of a cut area of the rectangular tubular portion, and then, the punch cutter is circumferentially moved along a trim line on the rectangular tubular portion to cut the rectangular tubular portion.

A trimmer device includes an inner mounting block having a first central aperture for receiving a turret shaft. The inner mounting block has an inner bore. The device includes an outer mounting block having a second central aperture for receiving the turret shaft. The outer mounting block has at least one outer bore. The device includes an inner trimmer spindle positioned through the inner bore. A first end of the inner trimmer spindle includes a pilot having an inner spindle blade. The device further includes an outer trimmer spindle positioned through the outer bore. The outer trimmer spindle includes an outer spindle blade positioned at a first end. At least one of the inner mounting block or the outer mounting block is rotatable about the turret shaft to adjust for a diameter of an article such that the article is positioned between the inner and outer spindle blades for trimming.

A method of trimming and sizing a metal piece. A trimming and sizing apparatus including a travel way, at least one cutting torch assembly having a trimming cutting torch and sectioning cutting torch, and at least one table. A substantially rectangular metal piece is placed on the table. The cutting assembly is traversed along the travel way and the trimming cutting torch makes a longitudinal cut in the metal piece creating a scrap piece. Simultaneously with the cutting of the scrap piece by the trimming cutting torch, the sectioning cutting torch is rotated in an arc around the trimming cutting torch such that the sectioning cutting torch is simultaneously moved in the longitudinal direction and in an arc around the trimming cutting torch creating a cut in the scrap piece such that a sized scrap piece having a desired length/weight is completely removed from the scrap piece.

A shearing device and a method for an aluminum material are provided. The shearing device includes an upper pad die, a lower pad die, a first electrode provided on each of the upper pad die and the lower pad die, a heating device provided on the first portion of the upper pad die and the lower pad die, respectively as surface parts; and a shearing die provided on the upper pad die to move up and down with respect to a surface to which the aluminum material is discharged and including a second electrode. In addition, the shearing method for the aluminum material is provided for reducing chips generated during the shearing process.

Provided is a trimming device configured to cut a rectangular container along a trim line, and includes: a die, which accommodates an outer periphery of the rectangular container, and is arranged along the trim line on a lower side thereof; a punch movable within a plane parallel to a bottom surface; a long-axis direction drive unit configured to move the punch along a long-axis direction of the rectangular container; a first short-axis direction drive unit, which is arranged on a proximal side of the long-axis direction drive unit, and is configured to move the punch along a short-axis direction; and a second short-axis direction drive unit, which is arranged side by side with the first short-axis direction drive unit along the long-axis direction on a distal side from the long-axis direction drive unit, and is configured to move the punch along the short-axis direction of the rectangular container.

The invention is to a device and method, for cutting a can blank in which case an end section of the can blank is severed. The can blank is moved by means of a conveyor arrangement at a constant speed about a first axis of rotation. Preferably, a laser beam is used as the cutting means. A deflecting arrangement deflects the laser beam to a focal point where the side surface of the can blank is located. Due the rotation of the can blank about its longitudinal axis, the axial end section of said can blank is severed. The focal point of the laser beam does not change relative to the longitudinal axis of the can blank during the laser cutting operation.
