  • Lead and trail of plate are pin registered within the slot. Lock can be set high or low on the press register.
  • This lock is capable of meeting any web width. Custom sizes and multiple web widths available. Contact sales for consultation.

Typical Press Application:
Goss Community - one around, single width wide gap press. Goss Suburban - one around, single width press. Goss Urbanite - two around, single width press. Harris 800 series - two around, single width press. Harris 1600 and 1700 - two around double width press.

Plate Up Procedure:
The lead edge of the plate is inserted into the lock slot between the edge of the lock and thrusters. The trail of the plate is installed into the slot between the lock body and thrusters. The coil springs apply force to hold the trail and lead in place. The centrifugal force on the thruster increases the holding force on the plate as the press speed increases, resulting in a positive holding of the plate.
