GLUNZ & JENSEN INTRODUCES A NEW STAINLESS STEEL NARROW GAP / NO-TOOL LOCKUP
Friday 29. August 2008 - Glunz and Jensen has taken its revolutionary Narrow Gap / No- Tool press registration lock up to another level by introducing an improved Stainless Steel model for the Goss Headliner Offset, TKS, and other presses with a cylinder slot gap 15.24 -12.7mm (0.600 - 0.500").
This robust version offers lead-edge, centrifugal forced thrusters instead of the spring clip. These thrusters are ½ inch wide with a 1 inch diameter to hold the lead edge of the plate. The centrifugal force of the press allows the thruster mechanism to maximize its hold strength. The faster the press cylinder turns the more force to hold the plate.
All lock components of the Narrow Gap / No Tool lock are made from stainless steel. This lock also incorporates the Glunz & Jensen patent pending registration system that not only improves registration but allows for independent movement of lock components without upsetting the registration of the press. The simpler design and unique registration piece reduces labor cost when installing or re- positioning the lock for a web with reduction.
The Narrow Gap / No Tool lock incorporates new technologies that:
provides faster initial installation than any other lock of similar design on the market,
robust lock design has fewer number of parts than comparable no-tool locks,
allows forgiving plate bend profiles and unique cylinder designs,
heavy-duty components ensure trouble-free operation for many years.
This lockup system will emphasize the quality of press and color registration while providing reliable plate holding strength and reducing start up and running waste during crucial deadlines.
The economical pricing of this new lock design and the significant reduction in installation time makes it affordable to upgrade worn and poor performing locks while substantially reducing your Return on Investment.
