Carr Lane Manufacturing Showcases Part Loading Solution

Carr Lane Manufacturing will showcase its Air Rest Buttons (ARB) in booth 5659 at Eastec. The ARBs use pneumatic position control to properly detect workpiece loading in a fixture. Consisting of a threaded body installed in a fixture, these units hold a precision floating plunger. Once proper placement of a workpiece on the ARB assembly occurs, the plunger fully retracts into the body, which is designed to seal off airflow and increase the overall pressure of the system. The pressure value can be read using an analog or digital pressure system.

The plunger accepts Carr Lane Manufacturing standard press-fit type rest buttons and is available in three diameters.
