Abstract: A package handling device includes a conveyor, a sensor system and a reject system. The conveyor transports a product along a product handling line. The sensor system is proximate to the conveyor system to determine at least one characteristic of the product for comparison to product acceptance criteria. Failure of the product to meet product acceptance criteria generates a reject signal. The reject system directs the product to a reject bin responsive to the reject signal via a movable assembly that moves a portion of the conveyor to create a gap in the product handling line. The reject system includes a retract slide adjustment bracket that has at least one mounting position to which a selected retraction device is attachable to define a size of the gap based on the selected retraction device and the at least one mounting position limiting a movement range of the movable assembly.

Abstract: A fastener with shaving inhibitor for fastening a material such as a metal sheeting panel to a substrate such as metal or wood. The fastener has a notch angled leftwardly with respect to an axis of the fastener, the notch having a first end and a second end, a leading face and a trailing face, each face having outer edges and a common edge at their intersection. At least one of the leading and trailing faces may be substantially planar but may have other shapes, such as concave. Leftwardly angled notch with faces having outer edges may attract and then cut shavings formed from material being installed, thereby reducing the quantity and/or length of shavings, prolonging the life of the material or the structure to which the material is fastened.
