Swiveling Electrical Module
Increases flexibility for industrial robot tool changers
A patent-pending electrical module incorporates a moveable cable connector, which allows the connected cable to be positioned at any of five different angles, through a 180-degree span, resulting in faster and neater robot cable dress. The module is used to pass electrical signals from the robot side to the tool side of the quick-connect robotic tool changer. The new G19-Swivel Electrical Module provides a new level of flexibility in electrical signal cable dress by allowing the user to select the best angle of cable attachment, making a neater and more compact cable envelope. The G19 is used on a wide range of ATI robotic tool changers used in material handling, stamping, welding and assembly applications.

Assembly Stud
Enables assembling from one side
The common problem of assembly operations assembling bolts from two sides of an application has been solved without welding with the TL Stud, which enables the production line to have one person on the line drop-in and quarter-turn the TL Stud to lock it in place. All the necessary parts are now assembled with one person from one side, top-loading. No need for additional labor or welded production.
A simple mating impression is stamped in metal or molded in plastic and designed to match the radius and thickness of the TL Stud. The bridge supports the TL Stud from falling through and allows the TL Stud to turn 90 degrees and lock in place. There are half-moon ramped nibs placed under the head for those applications where a positive lock-in-place is required. The end of the TL Stud can be equipped with an external or internal hex drive feature to ease the loading and assembly.
Mounting applications include HVAC, Lawn & Garden, Appliance, and Transportation markets.

Helical Grooved Pins
For high-shear applications
Spirol International Corporation has introduced a line of standard inch and metric helical grooved solid pins for high-shear applications where a grooved pin is installed into a hardened hole. With standard grooved pins, the high peaks tend to shear off during installation, causing retention problems and field failures. These new helical grooved pins solve this assembly challenge.
Spirol's helical grooved pins utilize a unique groove configuration, making them the ideal solid pin for installation in harder host materials. Wide, low-profiled peaks spiral about the body of the pin, allowing the pin to maintain its integrity when installed into a hardened hole. These helical grooves provide low and consistent installation forces, compared to common solid pins. Spirol offers these grooved pins in three styles for specific applications: Series GP200 Full Length Groove; Series GP210 Half Length Centered Groove; and Series GP220 Half Length Offset Groove.
Standard materials for helical grooved pins include low carbon steel and 300 Series austenitic stainless steel. Standard finishes include plain oiled, zinc plated, phosphate coated, and passivated. Standard inch diameters are 1/16 to 1/4 inch with lengths ranging from 1/4 to 2-1/4 inches. Standard metric diameters are 1.5 to 6 mm with lengths ranging from 6 to 55 mm. Other materials, finishes, diameters, and lengths are available on request.

Field Ready Screw
Thread wrinkle holds position
The SSX Field Ready screw, just introduced by ITW Shakeproof, drives in easily and securely holds a fixed position in a component, ready to be driven when the component is finally mounted or assembled, either in the field or at the final assembly point.
The "stop and hold" torque-prevailing "wrinkle" can be created at any point along the thread form to achieve the desired depth and resistance. When the screw is initially driven into a component and reaches the stop thread pitch it will remain fixed at that position while the component is transferred or shipped to the point of final assembly. Then it is simply driven in one step to complete the final installation.
The wrinkle-like thread pitch that generates the stop and hold torque can be custom formed to meet the amplitude and duration of torque required for specific applications. The SSX Field Ready screw has standard lead threads for easy starting and a standard thread form beyond the stop torque section to facilitate final installation. The thread wrinkle can be tuned to provide a consistent and repeatable feel.

Leak-Proof Hose Clamps
Cost effective, high strength
Rotor Clamp is now offering a full line of Constant Tension Band Light Clamps, or CTL. CTLs are a cost effective alternative to other types of band clamps, but do not compromise quality or reliability. Easy to install and remove, these clamps offer a one-piece design providing leak-proof connections. CTLs can be used on such applications as small engines, agricultural and utility vehicles, automotive systems and appliances. Also, Rotor Clamp CTL clamps have superior strength due to Rotor Clamp's perfection of the austempering method, a process far better than oil quenching. Through this method of heat treating, clamps undergo a complete transformation to the desired bainitic structure, thus ensuring strength and eliminating brittleness associated with oil quenching.

Panel and VenteScrew for Plastic Materials
Indentations prevent loosening slide
The BosScrew provides as much as four times the holding power, and the drive-to-strip ratio is 66 percent better than the leading screws used in today's plastics. According to its developer, this is not merely a new screw for plastic materials but a new concept in how to achieve a secure fastening in plastics.
With its series of "pressure wells", or indentations, along the upper face of the thread circumference, the BosScrew looks as unique as the function it provides. Rather than attempting to compensate for plastic creep, the screw uses that creep to achieve an interlocking embedment of the threads in the material. Once clamp load is applied to the assembly, the plastic creeps into the indentations in the screw threads, creating resistance bumps with valleys in-between. To loosen, the crests in the screw thread between the indentations must climb over each of these bumps. Reverse tightening the torque must actually be applied to drive the screw back over the bumps and loosen it.
