Fordia’s OWL Self-Lock head assembly introduces a new patented latch design that comprises two self-locking and independent latches. Once they are deployed, the Self-Lock latches cannot be retracted as they are locked in position by a piston. The OWL Self-Lock head assembly is offered in thin wall and standard format (from BWL to PWL).
This system virtually eliminates mislatch possibilities, ensuring optimized core recovery.
Fully independent Self-Lock latches
No spring between the latches
Heat-treated latches made from high-resistance alloy steel
Less parts, less maintenance
Minimized contact area between latches and rods
