Date Code Pins

I am having a hard time finding date code pins that you can change from the outside of the tool. The pins at the molding surface are connected to this outside box, which you turn the screw and it rotates to the next month (shift, day, year, etc.) You don't even have to open the mold to change the date code (or climb into a press!!!) I have tried DME, Progressive, National, Superior, Hasco, Omni, Choice, MUD, PCS, Misumi, PUNCH, Cumsa, and Force.
I have seen them advertised but can't find them anywhere. If you know what I'm talking about please let me know a link or a name and phone number.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Date Code Pins

Tom, I believe the product you are looking for is manufactured by CUMSA even though you stated that you tried them. They have a unit that is manually/mechanically advanced from the outside of the tool AND have recently developed a SLICK unit that is electronically controled that indexs automatically and has the capability to mark the part with the year,month,day AND,, TIME !! in 5 min. increments! They can be contacted @ www.cumsa.com or you can contact P.C.S. here in North America as we are one of their distributors. Thanks in advance. Mike Biddle Sr. Product Specialist P. C. S.
