Acme Gridley

Year after year, lost production hours are attributed to mechanical threading clutches that are over or under-adjusted on your Acme-Gridley screw machine - forcing you to compromise on part quality and tap life. Now, you can achieve state-of-the-art tapping repeatability, reliability, and quality with Logan Hi-Capacity Air Threading Clutches.

Logan Retrokit® for your early and late-model Acme-Gridleys increase your machines daily and weekly output from 10-20% - leaving you room for additional capacity, productivity and profitability. Positive, fast-acting Logan Clutch engagement enables your Acme to change speeds much faster, and provides a more consistent and accurate cycle time than conventional mechanical clutches.

The CS2001 XT is specifically designed to bring new machine technology to your existing fleet of screw machines. With features such as Tool Counters, Thread Check, Machine LockUp Detection, Stock Load and more, the XT offers screw machine users more flexibility during set-ups, and increases overall machine productivity. Realize significant productivity gains utilizing the same operator, machine and floor space. OEM, Factory or Field retrofitted; the CS 2001XT is the right technology for your screw machine. Available for Acme-Gridleys, Wickmans, Davenports and New Britains.

Now, more than ever, screw machine users must find ways to eliminate secondary operations, and increase machine efficiency. That's why Air Pick-off attachments have been essential in successfully eliminating costly secondary finishing, back machining, recessing, drilling, chamfering and deburring operations. One drawback to the air pick-off attachment: completed parts eject from the pick-off collet during spindle rotation at speeds well over 1,500 rpm. This abrupt part cut-off often propels finished parts beyond the parts chute and into the tool zone and chips - creating nicks and marks on the part, and possibly jamming other machine components such as cross slides and attachments.

New Logan Spindle Carrier Indexing kits make it easy for you to increase productivity and reduce the idle time on your Acme Gridley up to 25%. How? Its simple - We replace the older Geneva-style indexing mechanism, spiral bevel gears, and Indexing arm on your Acme with our smooth, faster acting Logan Indexer, Fast Bevel Gears and Heavy-duty Indexing Arm. The Logan Indexer has a unique parabolic curve, and improved cam follower design which gives your Acme a smoother transition during index - all without sacrificing productivity. Better indexing actually reduces the input torque required to index your Acme by 75%!

Logan Clutch controls on the screw machines have their RS485 network com lines connected to WiFi Server Modules that allow communications with the customer's WiFi access point in the plant.
