These products can be for Acme-Gridley machines. They complement each other, and together, the company says, they can maximize production. The Spindle Carrier Indexing Kit directly replaces the Geneva Index Unit. Because of the design, once installed, indexing is approximately 1/3 faster relating to a reduction in idle time thus increasing profits. At the same time, the product is said to require 75 percent less input torque, operating smoothly. This reduces wear and noise prolonging life of your machines. The kit comes complete and is easily installed. The Hi/Lo Posi-Drive was developed mainly out of the need to replace less efficient disc clutch units and the troublesome roll clutch. It also is said to eliminate the band brake and all related linkages. Positive and repetitive positioning of tools can be achieved without fear of slippage and constant adjustment. This relates to a proper constant cycle increasing production and decreasing maintenance. The kit is easily retro-fitted and comes complete with all necessary hardware. Installation assistance is available.
