Cold air pistol
The Cold air pistol for cooling on demand.
The Cold Air Pistol, featuring an ergonomic trigger mechanism, provides mobility and flexibility with its hand-triggered pistol action to give cooling on demand. The Cold Air Pistol is used for a variety of applications, including freeing seized bearings from tight interferences, easing bearing installation when heating is not an option, chilling heated bearing races to a shaft, cooling of welds and solders, temperature testing thermostats, setting adhesives, cooling of parts and tools. When thermal cycling is needed, the Cold Air Pistol’s zero degree F air stream cools material quickly to speed the process. The Cold Air Pistol also finds application in cooling chromatographic columns in laboratory applications.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
