Simon Siewert and Jürgen Traub, the two managing directors of the Trauwert GmbH in Göppingen, answer your frequently asked questions.

1. What are the advantages of mounting Trauwert clipper trimmers on roller bearings?

The main advantage is that the roller bearing creates a very small gap, or cutting clearance, between the two toothed plates. This clearance and the roller bearing on both sides of the movable cutting plate are elements of the Trauwert GmbH patents on the clipper trimmer. The roller bearing functions with absolute precision and is virtually wear- and maintenance-free. This results in consistently good and long-term cutting performance without unforeseen downtimes. It also means excellent planning reliability in the production process.


2. What is meant with “linear guideway”?

These are components that move in a straight line with zero deviation. Depending on the requirements placed on speed, accuracy or load, you can use either slide, roller or ball bearings. Due to the above-mentioned advantages, we chose roller bearings.


3. With which machines are your roller bearing-mounted clipper trimmers compatible?

In general, our clipper trimmers are compatible wherever end-to-end cutting systems are used. The different types of drives available do not pose any problems.


4. Are your clipper trimmers suitable for all cutting operations in broom and brush production?

Yes. We can cut any material with our wide range of standard toothings, and the possibility to quickly and economically produce customised toothings.


5. You also offer surface and profile grinding services. What is the maximum workpiece size that you can machine?

Surface grinding: 600 mm x 300 mm. Profile grinding: 600 mm x 250 mm.


6. In principle, is it possible to produce any shape with profile grinding?

Profile grinding is possible for almost all profiles and surface finishes. That said, tests must be carried out if the profiles are very complex. We can effectively conduct these tests using our freely programmable dressing technology.
