The Glunz & Jensen Narrow Gap / No-Tool is a no-tool, double acting lock-up for presses with cylinder gaps between 24 - 13.5 mm (0.9375 - 0.531") wide.

Key Benefits:

  • The Glunz & Jensen lock is made of high-strength, all metal parts. Available in stainless steel.
  • The filler bar and register are the only customer configured parts. The lock is a standard stock part.
  • For quick maintenance or replacement, the lock assembly can be removed while the registration remains stationary. The press does not need to be registered after the locks are replaced.
  • Separate lead and trail locking mechanisms ensure positive holding force on the plate to reduce pullout during plate removal for zone changes.
  • A high-profile register pin aids in quick and accurate plate installations.
  • The lock is web adjustable without drilling and tapping, resulting in faster and easier web reductions.
  • This lock is capable of meeting any web width. Custom sizes and multiple web widths available

Typical Press Application:
Goss Headliner, Goss Metro, TKS presses

Plate Up Procedure:
The plate is installed between the thruster and the lead edge of the cylinder. The cylinder is jogged to the next position and the trail of the plate is installed between the thruster and lock body. The coil springs apply positive force to hold the trail in place. The centrifugal force on the thruster increases the holding force on the plate as the press speed increases. The narrow gap offers fast, easy plate up with no tools required.
