ASP 24 Locking Shot Pin
E&E locking shot pins provide a positive safe solution to zero stored energy requirements on manually loaded assembly fixtures and assembly pallets. Locking shot pins also provide a positive linear lock with a manual over ride for other potential drifting motions like linear slides, pivots and part locks for end effectors. The locking shot pin has an every cycle working load capacity of 500lbf. The locking shot pin shear load capacity is 3000lbf with a 2x safety factor.

- Vertical pins that are operator loaded in the extended position at neutral air pressure.
- Assembly pallet pins or rests where there is only one change over station and the pin must remain locked during the assembly process.
- The minimum cycle time for the retract stroke of the E&E locking shot pin is 2 seconds. This is due to our proprietary delay circuit that retracts the spring extend locking cylinder before the shot pin cylinder.
- Safety requirements are met with separate sensing for the extended position and pin locked position as well as the retracted position.
- The locking shot pin provides a geo capable locked position with or without air pressure.
- If the assembly operations take place with air pressure as in standard welding fixtures the extend position must be certified with air pressure
- If the assembly operation takes place without air pressure like on assembly pallets the extend position must be certified without air pressure.
- For motion prevention applications where precision is not critical either state may be used at set up.
- The locking shot pin is only available with the rigid coupler option.
