Logan Hi-Lo Retrokit and Hi-Speed Conversion Kits for Your Mechanical or Hydraulic New Britains!

New Logan Hi-Lo Retrokit and Hi-Speed Conversion Kits for your New Britain 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 New Britain to change speeds much faster and provides a more consistent and accurate cycle time than conventional mechanical clutch methods.

New! Roll Clutch Removal Feature Increases Productivity

Mechanical Roll or Rollaway clutches have a tendency to slip and grab at different points during speed changes and indexes. This causes expensive tool breakage and downtime when the machine goes past low-point in high-speed. Because Logan clutches improve cycle time repeatability, our new low-speed clutch feature replaces the old-style roll clutch. This enables set-up personnel to position tools closer to the workpiece, further reducing dwell time and overall cycle time.

Hi-Lo Retrokit Features

Reduces the idle time between speed changes.
Replaces mechanical clutches, roll clutch, band brake, and linkages with fast-acting air-actuated Logan Clutches.
Positive, crisp Logan Clutch engagement guarantees cycle time repeatability.
Simplifies clutch maintenance - No disc pack adjustment or slippage.
Quick-stop, power-applied brake Prevents machine coasting.
New! Low-speed clutch design reduces idle time - Machine operates more consistently.

Savings

Increase productivity from 10-20%.
Tools can be positioned closer to the workpiece due to repeatable high and low-speed clutch engagement.
Better machine utilization - More productivity from existing machines, operators, and floor space.
