Southco has expanded its extensive line of captive screws with the 4C Extended Length Captive Screw, a new option covering the majority of panel applications.
Concordville, PA, November 4, 2020 — SOUTHCO®, a leader in engineered access hardware has expanded its extensive line of captive screws with a new option covering the majority of panel applications. Southco's 4C Extended Length Captive Screw provides a standard solution for sheet metal and panel applications requiring different screw lengths, reducing lead time and simplifying designs that would have previously required modified screw lengths.
Designed as a precise solution for panels, mounting doors and other hardware applications, Southco's 4C Extended Length Captive Screw is available in a variety of tool actuation and installation styles, including press-in and flare-in. The captive screws feature heat-treated steel for superior torque strength, while color-coded overmolded head options allow designers to differentiate access points or coordinate hardware with the overall design scheme
"Previously, non-standard panel applications required modified screw lengths with lengthy lead times and costly design processes," said Global Product Manager Ike Teng. "The 4C Extended Length Captive Screw ensures that designers have easy access to a standard solution for non-standard panel designs and sheet metal thicknesses."

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
