Latches

"Combination Lock" Swinghandles and quarter-turn latches allow users access with a sequence of digits, due to new actuators. The Swinghandle latch, when paired with round or flat linkage rods, is engineered for multipoint door latching systems, as well as the company's rectangular openings for swing-handles. Doors that are 20 mm thick with a 16- x 19-mm installation opening may employ the longer housing of the quarter-turn latches. Both latches are available in die-cast zinc.

Adhesives

Methacrylate adhesives-including Plastic Welder(TM), Welder FS, and Metal Welder(TM)- are designed to eliminate surface preparation for hard-to-bond plastics, composites, and dissimilar substrates. Rapidly curing at room temperature, the adhesives reportedly do not drip in vertical or overhead applications. The company's epoxy adhesives bond metals, glass, composites, concrete, ceramics, plastics, and wood, curing at room temperature.

Pulse welding

The Power MIG 300, a wire feeder welder reportedly capable of synergic multi-processing, uses Chopper Technology^(R) to achieve better starts, stabler arcs, and wider sweet spots. With 200 to 575 input voltage, the welder operates on 300A at 60% duty cycle, and up to 700 ipm wire feed speeds. Capable of aluminum pulse welding, it self-adjusts voltage, automatically aligns wire-feed speed, and allows users to change parameters.

Ceramic adhesive

Ceramabond^(R) 835 zirconia-filled ceramic adhesive is designed for high-speed production automatic dispensing systems. Featuring 3,000F operating temperature resistance, it reportedly cures fully in 60 minutes through a two-step curing process. Adhesive reportedly maintains 200 V/mil dielectric strength and 500 to 600 psi tensile shear strength after being exposed to 1,000F. According to the company, it is moisture and thermal shock resistant, and causes less than 1% shrinkage on curing.
