A few weeks ago we had some assemblies to manufacture for our forensic test equipment customer.

The assemblies are used in hospitals, crime labs, and other various scientific labs.  

This particular assembly simply removes the cover from a large vial after it comes out of machine where it has been subjected to the effects of liquid nitrogen.  

The ease in which the extractor removes the frozen cover from the frozen vial allows the lab technician to carefully control the removal of the contents inside that vial.

All the components you see pictured (with the exception of the handle and fasteners) are manufactured in our facility.  They are 6061 aluminum, and are either "Clear" or "Orange" anodized.  The paper strip is there to mask the customers silk screened logo for privacy concerns.

To get a behind the scenes look at our company, be sure to check us out on Facebook @ Crosby Machine Company, Inc. and don't forget to give us a "Like".

Best Regards,
Russ
