ASP 50 Shot Pin / Learn & Compare
The Best pricing material technology in the shot pin industry.
MECHANICAL DESIGN FEATURES
- Bi-Directional Mounting
- 3 Year component / 3 Year Switch Warranty
- Both ends of stroke can be used for Geo Location (no additional stops)
- Completely sealed design (Best for laser weld & trim cells)
- Radius corners make for better air sealing & rod wiping
- E&E Cylinders are so robust, they will run 120 PSI Air or 250 PSI Hydraulic within the same unit.
- No additional charge for any NAAMS hole patterns
- PTFE Plus 20,000 PSI capable bearing
- Full bearing engagement for entire stroke
- Coupler is machined onto Ram (cannot come lose or unscrew)
- All available Ram mounting styles (no up charge)
- Minimum rod loss piston equals higher pull force
MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE FEATURES
MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE FEATURES
- Choose world or cylinder switch. Cylinder MTTR = 5 min. / World = 1 hour
- World switch up too 100mm stroke, cylinder switch stokes 125-200mm
- 50-75 and 100-175 stroke units are the same length using stop tube (cuts spare parts stock by 50% on typical job)
- Easy wiper/scraper maitenace
MAINTENANCE KITS
MAINTENANCE KITS
- Cylinder seal kit
- Wiper / scraper kit
- Spare switch
- Stop Tube
ADVANTAGES (SOLID STATE CYLINDER SWITCH vs. WORLD SWITCH)
E&E Standard cylinder switch has a 3 Year Warranty (No Switch Warranty Available from any other Shot Pin manufacturer).
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE ADVANTAGES
- Online ordering for spare parts and maintenance
- ALL E&E Custom Product parts use the same switch (minimize inventory).
- Other interchangeable switch brands can be used in all environments except for resistance welding.
- The standard SICK switch is low cost and available world wide.
- The standard switch is not a "private label" or a unique body / groove combination.
- No chance of losing small screws, DWLS covers etc, when changing switch.
- Component remains sealed during switch change.
DESIGN
DESIGN ADVANTAGES
- Groove mounted switch
- ALL welding & assembly environments can use our standard cylinder switch.
- Every major manufacturer makes a switch for this groove.
- Allows for more compact and durable design.
- Sealed design keeps fine contaminants out, Far superior in laser welding and cutting applications.
- No pockets or covers (cylinder switch)
