Gripper products are used in fixtures to hold a component in place by providing resistance by friction or slight surface penetration. The face of the gripper may be serrated or flat and made of steel, carbide, or a plastic material

Carbides and carbide materials include silicon carbide, tungsten carbide and titanium carbide as well as other compounds of a metal (Ti, W, Cr, Zr) or metalloid (B, Si) and carbon. Carbides have excellent wear resistance and high hot hardness

Rest buttons and rest pads are used to provide a surface to locate or support a component in a jig or fixture

Grippers activate jaws or fingers to pick up, hold, or move work pieces in an automated or robotic system

Pushbutton switches are mechanical switches defined by the method used to activate the switch. The activation method is typically in the form of a plunger that is pushed down to open or close the switch.

Ceramic powders and precursors contain oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbon, and other non-metals. They are usually micron or mesh-size in distribution. Ceramic powders, sol-gel solutions and precursors are fabricated through atomization, crushing, milling, precipitation, and other chemical processes

Electrical contact and electrode materials are soft, high conductivity, oxidation resistant materials used in circuit breakers, relays, and for EDM applications.

Cutting tool inserts are replaceable attachments for cutting tools. They typically contain the actual cutting edge.

Traffic safety equipment provides visible and physical barriers or high visibility guidance systems to help control traffic flow.

Industrial ceramic materials are non-metallic, inorganic compounds that include oxides, carbides, or nitrides. They have high melting points, low wear resistance, and a wide range of electrical properties

Industrial control pendants are sophisticated, handheld terminals that are used to control robot or machine movements from point to point, within a determined space. They consist of a hanging control console furnished with joysticks, push-buttons or rotary cam switches.  

Ceramic tube and ceramic rod products are suitable for use in applications requiring high temperature strength, erosion resistance, electrical or thermal insulation, and other specialized characteristics.

EDM tooling, electrodes, fixtures, materials, guides and other supplies are used in electrical discharge machining (EDM), a highly-accurate manufacturing process for creating shapes within components and assemblies.

EDM electrode materials and components consist of highly conductivity and/or arc erosion resistant materials such as graphite, copper or copper graphite.

Electrical contacts and contact materials are soft, high-conductivity, oxidation- resistant materials that are used in circuit breakers, relays, switches, and electrical discharge machining (EDM) applications.  They often have a second phase in order to provide anti-welding and/or arc resistance.
