Newly redesigned adjustable ball lock pins now have added clamping strength. These locking pins are ideal for pulling two components together or to provide an adjustable grip length. Available in steel or stainless steel, adjustable lock pins are manufactured with four balls instead of two, for more-distributed ball-pullout force in clamping applications. Available in three handle sizes, knob, T or L, and in shank diameters from 1/4" to 1" (6 to 20mm in metric)..

The Model 5300 Twin-Tamp Printer-Applicator combines a thermal label printer with a specially configured applicator to handle the printing and two-label, adjacent-panel application on case labels in line. The system is available with a choice of print engines that offer 203- or 300-dpi label imprinting. Handling a range of label sizes, the print engines produce variable-sized text, bar codes and graphic images at print speeds up to 16 ips. When a label is printed, it is fed onto a tamp pad that is mounted to a 90-degree swing arm that reaches across a conveyor to blow a pressure-sensitive label onto the front panel of a moving case. Upon the arm's return, a second label is printed, then applied with a straight-line stroke to the side panel of the case.
