Improved thermal probe for heatstaking, inserting

With most conventional thermal probes for heatstaking and inserting, it?s difficult to adjust the height or lateral or radial position, especially at operating temperature, but a new patent-pending probe design allows these adjustments using common hand tools. The Multi-Adjustable Thermal Probe (MATP) uses seven new design elements to achieve that goal, while maintaining compatibility with other machines. These features include a fork mounting that uses a standard grid pattern, a ceramic insulation disk for making adjustments without worrying about the insulator, and a built-in, height-locking adjustment that can be maneuvered even while the probe is hot. The MATP can be retrofitted to fix existing systems, and it is featured on Dukane?s new presses.
