Material Handling & Storage Systems

The standard parts specialist JW Winco introduces the new Lift and Turn Compression Latch for holding doors, covers and hatches closed. It is operated in two steps with an ergonomic, powder-coated T-handle in black or gray. When folding the T-handle in or out, a stroke of 5 mm is initiated on the rotating latch to generate the required pressure against a door seal. In the folded-out position, the T-handle can be turned to the left or right side, moving the rotating latch 90° behind the cover or door, allowing it to be opened. The rotating latch can be flexibly adjusted for frames between 13 and 75 mm thick, depending on the application. The two-stage movement secures the closure against vibration.

DuoJust-Cut features innovative insert clamping ensuring tool rigidity and stability in various parting operations. In addition to existing JXPG insert with a ground in chipbreaker on the rake face, the new JXPS insert incorporates a 3D chipbreaker pressed in to its "dual-rake" cutting edge which is designed to promote optimal chip control and evacuation without compromising surface integrity. n

With the PSS-L, a significant increase in machine utilization and economic production can be achieved, and a longer unmanned production period is made possible. Other advantages include a high storage density with a small footprint, a cost-conscious acquisition investment, as well as the excellent visibility into the workspace and the pallet storage locations.

Benefits for users include highly rigid and dynamic piezoelectric measurement technology, digital data that is resistant to interference from disturbance variables, and end-to-end communication all the way through to sensor level. IO-Link technology supplies users with real-time data to monitor the condition of their plants and measurement chains.

AxiCheck helps increase production capacity by quickly and accurately inspecting the state of health of the machine, allowing users to identify and correct errors that may impact the workpiece, as well as planning maintenance operations in advance. This reduces the number of reject parts, particularly when dealing with single batches of expensive part production.

Cortec Corp. announces that its popular and convenient Cor-Pak 1-MUL Pouches are available in 8- MUL format for eight times the corrosion protection volume previously offered. Cor-Pak 8-MUL Pouches work exactly the same as Cor-Pak 1-MUL, but instead of only protecting one cubic foot (28 L) of space, the Cor-Pak 8-MUL offers enough corrosion protection for ferrous or nonferrous metals packaged or stored in up to 8 cubic feet (0.23 m³) of enclosed space.

EcoShield VpCI-144 is one of the latest additions to Cortec's growing portfolio of over 30 USDA-certified biobased products. EcoShield VpCI-144 can now display a unique USDA label showing it contains 69% USDA-certified biobased content. This is the portion of the product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine or forestry feedstocks.

Dorner Europe is expanding its presence throughout the region by adding the 2200 Series LPZ (Low Profile Z-Frame) conveyor to its lineup of conveyor platforms being manufactured from its Jülich, Germany, location.

Versa Pullers presents caterpillar pullers, which provide uniform pressure over the entire traction length, thus exerting greater pulling force without product deformation. They are suitable for pliable materials like tubing, extruded profiles, foams, soft extruded materials like weather stripping. Versa series "C" pullers are available in non-motorized versions, which can be included in OEM designs, or in motorized versions that allow "out of the box" productivity.

A universal positioning system that consists of a wide range of components that lets users mount, move to position and then lock devices in space has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Manufacturers and shippers can easily add corrosion protection to their current packaging process by using Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film (Hand Wrap). Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film serves the same purpose as normal stretch film but also contains vapor phase corrosion inhibitors that protect metals from corrosion. This is especially important for metal components being prepared for export shipment in uncontrolled environments where fluctuating temperatures and humidity could easily cause condensation corrosion.

EXAIR's new type 303 stainless steel 2-1/2 NPT threaded Line Vac air-operated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. They are ideal for food, chemical, pharmaceutical and medical processes or areas likely to be wet and corrosive, which require the benefits of 303SS including excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, performance in higher temperatures, long service life and low maintenance.
