Long & Short Body Hooks by Anthony Ganni & Jon McLaughlin
There are six main areas to look at when reviewing the long and short body hooks.
The first item to look at would be the pin height. Then, you should check the spring pressure on the particular stations that are having issues, or all of them if necessary.
After reviewing those two areas, you should look at the in-coming material issues to make sure everything is within specification. If they are, take a deep dive by checking the lifter, lower chuck plane and seaming chuck plane.
