• a support arm connected to the body;
• at least one switch disposed on the body to control movement of the support arm;
• and
• wherein the sync arm is capable of movement between a first position and a second position, wherein when the sync arm is in the first position, the sync arm is free from contact with a portion of a workpart carrier traveling along a rail of an overhead conveyor, and when the sync arm is in the second position, the sync arm contacts a portion of the workpart carrier;
• and
• wherein the support arm is capable of movement between a first position and a second position, wherein when the support arm is in the first position, the support arm is free from contact with a portion of the workpart carrier, and when the support arm is in the second position, the support arm contacts a portion of the workpart carrier.
