p r o d u cts CIILOCK’S TITAN TWIN-POINT HANDLE TAKES HOME COVETED GOOD DESIGN SELECTION AWARD C iiLOCK Engineering’s dedication and endless pursuit of identification and innovative response to industry needs and requirements has been highlighted during this year’s Good Design Awards; with the hardware specialists’ clever Titan Twin-Point Handle emerging triumphant in the ‘Hardware and Building’ category – taking out a coveted ‘Good Design Selection’ award. Passing an array of strict evaluation criteria including function, quality and innovation, the Titan Twin-Point was scrutinised by a panel of judges before its reveal as a winner at the annual Gala Night in Sydney, back in May. Featuring a highly unique ‘retractable cylinder’ mechanism, the innovative design overcomes the necessity of users removing the key from the lock before opening the doors; eliminating risk of damage to the panel or key by automatically retracting the cylinder when the lever is operated. “We understand the solution to damage-proof locking can’t always be dependent on the user removing the key before opening the door,” the CiiLOCK team says. “This step is all too easily overlooked or the key is even purposefully left in for convenience, and so our retractable key solution allows enough clearance between the panels for smooth, uninterrupted panel compression.” To view The Titan Twin-Point entry, visit www.good-design.com/entries or learn more at www.ciilock.com/titan TIGERSTOP INTRODUCES TIGERSPC CALIPERS – SETS NEW STANDARD FOR QUALITY CONTROL CONFIGURABLE CALIPER SET MAKES CRITICAL QUALITY CONTROL MEASUREMENTS EASY AND AFFORDABLE.

TigerSPC is accurate to +/- 0.15 mm and has snap-on jaws to easily accommodate end to end, mitre to mitre, hole to hole, hole to centre and hole to end measurements without having to recalibrate. TigerSPC is also available with an optional TigerStop table system for mounting the TigerSPC in various sizes, from a working length of 1.2 m up to 4.8 m, and the calipers can be equipped with a selection of both standard and custom attachments that allow it to be specifically configured for a manufacturer’s set of critical quality control measurements. 44 Australian Window Association TigerSPC Calipers features and options include: • Precision Measuring All TigerSPC jaws and appliances are machined to ensure the same zero point which means that no recalibration is needed for different set-ups. • Attachments With easy to use snap in jaws for standard end to end, Mitre Jaws for mitre to end, Extension Face Blocks for half lap to tenon end, and Hole Pins, employees can change from holes to mitres to overall measurements in seconds without losing calibration. The optional Swivel Block Attachment combines the ability to measure from hole centre to hole centre and it also swivels and allows operators to attach other jaw accessories without losing the reference point. • TigerSPC Software Optional TigerSPC software logs measurement data from TigerSPC, allowing data to be exported as a .csv file and then imported into your other Statistical Process Control Programs. • Tablet Package The tablet package runs the software on a Surface Pro which can be wirelessly connected to a network. You can display the log measurement data as it is collected. For more information, visit www.tigerstop.com or phone +1 360 254 0661.
