A manufacturer of meat processing equipment, uses the Retractacle Quarter Turn to change the hands on their brand-new "Scorpion" an automated meat packaging machine. Scorpion automatically puts aligned slices of meat on food trays. The hands that carry the meat slices to the tray have to be changed at least once a day, when the shape of the meat slice is changed or for cleaning and maintenance.

The MFR mostly used clamping knobs for such areas where removal and installation were required, however, the problem was that the operators had difficulties operating the knob. Each operator tightened it differently, and it was slippery with oil and water to operate. Some other problems were that operators could not visually check for proper tightening, loosening could occur due to under-tightening and it had no positioning function.

They solved these problems by using the Retractacle Quarter Turn, which provide constant clamping force with just a 90-degree turn of the knob. It also made it easier to check that the fastener was secured with the ON/OFF indicator. The repeatability of Retractacle Quarter Turn met the requirements for the machine hand changeover.

The work efficiency of the changeover was greatly improved by the operation of Retractacle Quarter Turn. Their equipment, "Scorpion" is highly appreciated by the users, and the one-touch operation also contributes to this positive appreciation.
