The bead trimmer is preferably applied in a production line for elements having longitudinal weld beads (21), where an element slides along a parallel direction to a longitudinal axis thereof (x), and comprises a tool-bearing turret (2) for removable fixing of a trimming tool (30), associated to a first slide (3) which is slidable along a horizontal direction (y) which is transversal with respect to the longitudinal axis (x) between an internal position, in which the tool (30) is aligned with the weld bead (21), and an external position, in which the tool (30) is not aligned with the weld bead (21). The first slide (3) is associated to a second slide (4) which is vertically slidable on a bearing structure (40) along a vertical direction (z) between a lowered position, in which the tool (30) is in contact with the weld bead (21), and a raised position, in which the tool (30) is distanced from the weld bead (21).
A bead trimmer with a tool extraction system, preferably used in a production line of elements bearing longitudinal weld beads (21) in which an element slides along a direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis (x) thereof, wherein it comprises a tool-bearing turret (2) for removably fixing a bead-trimmer tool (30), which turret (2) is supported by means for translating the turret (2) on command according to at least one vertical direction (z) and at least one horizontal direction (y) which horizontal direction (y) is transversal with respect to the longitudinal axis (x) between an internal working position and an external tool-changing position, with a run which is sufficient to extract the turret (2) from a working zone thereof.
