Whether a prototyping platform or a production manufacturing station – standard machine elements from Elesa underpin and enable a great deal of equipment delivering advanced engineering solutions to industries as various as medical devices, aero engineering, composite manufacturing, automotive, advanced metal manufacturing and Industry 4.0.

Elesa Stand A2 is the place to visit for ideas about standard machine elements that can enhance customer machines, aid production while reducing time and costs. The Elesa team are dedicated to providing a platform for knowledge transfer and business discussions across R&D design, test, measurement & inspection, raw materials & processing, manufacturing, production and automation.

Elesa will feature flagship machine elements including the LM series stainless steel levelling feet with EHEDG certification, especially for food related environments where bio-level cleaning is required on a frequent basis.

Demonstrating their wide portfolio, Elesa will demonstrate GLA roller slide guides for use as conveyor side guides, as well as VB three-arm hand knobs for clamping/adjustment of equipment – also MVAS safety vertical toggle clamps.

Where more active control is required, e.g. of machine rollers, then the Elesa stand will feature their UC-RF control unit which combined with DD series RF electronic position indicators, offers a PLC connected monitoring system which is particularly suitable for applications that require frequent format changes, facilitating the correct adjustment of the target-current position of the machine parts, also representing a safety system. In fact, even if a single DD52R-E-RF indicator is not placed in the target position, PLC doesn’t allow the beginning of the machine production cycle, thus avoiding production issues.

Elesa levelling feet match industrial applications and aggressive environments

Find out more

Date:

Elesa, as market leading manufacturers in high quality levelling feet, are delighted to offer units for all industrial purposes from simple desks and workstations to vibration damping and non-slip for heavy machines, food industry and biohazard applications.

At the light duty end of the spectrum the LX series are designed with adjustment moulded into the foot. They are suited to application on instrumentation housings, office desking, bench top equipment, portable stands and displays or similar.

For more demanding situations some machine feet have a base with special shape or design that allows fixing to the ground. This solution is suitable when you need to give more stability to the equipment. This type of machine levelling feet are available with or without no-slip disk NBR rubber applied to the base which ensures a perfect anchoring, preventing separation even in case of shocks during transport or adhesion to the floor.

LW.A vibration damping units from Elesa feature natural rubber damping pads built into an adjustable levelling foot design. They have been designed to damp vibrations, shocks and noise from moving components or non-balanced masses such as rotating machines. This vibration can cause significant detrimental effects on operator health as well as malfunctioning/reduction-in-lifespan of the machine or adjacent equipment.

“Active” machine isolation is described as being for vibration producing equipment such as presses, machine tools, transfer equipment etc. to prevent vibration being transmitted away from the source. In addition, they are of value in a passive role when mounted on equipment that might be adversely affected by external vibration, such as quality testing, measuring or performance assessment equipment. This “bi-directional” isolation is an important feature of the LW.A levelling elements and is often a feature in the same location.

The LMRS levelling feet from Elesa are manufactured in stainless steel (AISI 303/304) and designed to shed liquids downward. The low sulphur content of materials used in the LMRS and design features such as convex base with sleeved bolt are particularly significant to the food industry. For this reason, an adjustable sleeve covers the threaded stem, and other sharp edges and corners have been to a large extent avoided. This increases the efficiency of power cleaning measures in messy environments such as food processing, abattoirs and other hygiene sensitive applications.

Elesa’s LM.F-HD-SST series of levelling feet in stainless steel with permanent floor mounting facility are now EHEDG certified (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group). This means that they offer significant advantages in improved hygiene and reduced cleaning time (and resources). Thereby enhancing the environment of industrial areas such as in food production, pharmaceutical, paint and dye manufacture and similar, as well as saving on use of cleaning materials and time taken in wash-down cycles.

For example, there can be up to 25% time saving with less consumption of water, energy and cleaning agents, by use of specific design criteria with high grade stainless steel and FDA/EU compliant plastics.

Elesa explain that in the food industry, medical technology and the pharmaceutical industry, product safety and consumer protection are becoming increasingly important. Due to their specific properties, standard parts in hygienic design can assist the production process in these sensitive areas, and facilitate the manufacture of products with a long shelf life, which are free from preservatives.

New Elesa ZCR and ZCL modular gear racks and spur gears

Find out more

Date:

Elesa ZCR and ZCL rack and spur gear transmission elements are ideal for applications where, in addition to mechanical resistance, even quiet operations are required, with no need for lubrication maintenance.

Over the last few decades, the evolution in engineering plastics and technopolymers has led to the availability of spur gears in plastic material featuring high mechanical strengths. In addition, these plastics offer resistance to corrosion and chemical agents, as well as high resistance to torsion and good tensile strength. They also provide significant noise reduction and a low friction coefficient, which allows the use of gears even in sectors where lubrication is not recommended or is even prohibited.

The lightness of these components widens their range of application covering packaging, industrial cleaning, processing of materials, food industry, printing industry, construction of machinery for agriculture, household appliances etc. They are particularly valuable for mobile or hand held devices where ease of movement is required.

Simplicity, light weight, easy assembly, and easy alignment of these gear mechanisms enable users to fabricate simple motion gears and rack and pinion systems for operation of machines and for instrumentation applications. They are suitable for use in industrial, laboratory equipment – or for initial prototyping of equipment which is substantial enough for long-term use.

The new Elesa ZCR and ZCL modular gear racks and spur gears provide an easy to install package of quiet, lightweight, lubrication free and soft feel drives. Typically, they find application in manufacturing workstations, transfer operations, linear motion of sensors and instrumentation - also inspection systems, lifting of platforms and operating elements, positioning and measuring or other situations where quick linear movement is required.

Aquaflame Systems provide solutions for micro soldering and acrylic flame polishing through a range of products. The Aquaflame range are high performance gas-generating units, producing a high temperature flame – in the range 1200-3300°C.

Employed extensively in the jewellery, dental and other technical manufacturing industries, the Aquaflame range provides solutions for individual traders and small retailers through to larger manufacturers.

As a side issue to current Brexit concerns, and as an integral part of recent production re-structuring, the team at Aquaflame found they had supply problems with simple carry handles needed for their equipment, which can weigh up to 30kg. At the same time, they identified case alignment problems associated with handle fitment in conflict with the internal assembly – identified as taking an extra 15 minutes per unit.

Explained MD Barry Peck “We found assembly and supply problems traced back to a simple handle and could not resolve these to our satisfaction so we looked around for a UK based company with a standard ex-stock product at a competitive price. Fortunately, we found Elesa whose sales engineer called round quickly and offered a simple low-cost solution to our handle problems, which saved us money on each machine.”

The Elesa EPR-PF is a robust clip-in handle in glass reinforced polyamide which Aquaflame can leave to the final stage of assembly prior to packaging. They are manufactured by Elesa at their own production facility as part of a continuing commitment to a high quality/design ethos which controls production in house so far as possible, eliminating problems often encountered with non-manufacturing suppliers. Thus ensuring reliable worldwide stock in more than 60 countries worldwide, through 12 subsidiaries and qualified distributors in the major industrialised countries.

Contact details Daniel Hodson, 01526 322670, marketing@elesa.co.uk

The Elesa ELEROLL package of rollers and ball transfer modules is designed to greatly simplify installation and use of this type of widely used conveyor system. The modular ELEROLL roller conveyors allow easy and quick joining of units to create loading and unloading areas in the construction of machines, storage and retrieval systems or packaging machines. The main components of the roller conveyors are constituted by sliding elements, which are either rollers or balls, for bi-directional or multi-directional (omni-directional) movement of heavy parts, packages or sheet materials.

Elesa’s worldwide supply chain of high-quality industrial components is typified by the ingenious design of the ELEROLL modules.

The roller elements, suitably fixed inside the RLT-AL aluminium profiles, create modular roller tracks for passive handling (both as sliding or containing surfaces), suitable for several applications in different fields: feeding and discharging benches in construction machinery, storage and picking systems, packaging machinery, etc.

RLT-U-PA roller elements are also suitable for handling heavy packages, RLT-U-TPU roller elements, with rollers in anti-scratch material, allow the handling of delicate materials such as glass and wood.

The low friction coefficient between the roller and the roller holder eliminates the need for lubrication maintenance – while the particular section of RLT-AL profile, allows the snap-in assembly of the roller elements into the profile without the need for screws or other fasteners. Therefore, the roller elements may be quickly and easily removed and replaced, without disassembling the entire roller track.

The roller elements may be divided between individual wheels, so as to create roller tracks of precisely the required length.

The new ZCR and ZCL modular gear racks and spur gears provide an easy to install package of quiet, lightweight, lubrication free and soft feel rack and pinion gear drives for adjustment of equipment or positioning of workpieces. Typically they are suitable for assembly equipment, production workstations, instrumentation, inspection systems or other situations where quick linear movement is required.

Over the last few decades, the evolution in engineering plastics and technopolymers has led to the availability of spur gears in plastic material featuring high mechanical strengths in addition to providing all the advantages of plastic such as resistance to corrosion and chemical agents, also high resistance to torsion and good tensile strength, significant noise reduction and a low friction coefficient, which allows the use of gears even in sectors where lubrication is not recommended or even prohibited.

Modular lengths of toothed track fit together in 1m to 4m lengths (or special lengths on request) to provide comfortable operation – compared to metal equivalents, giving a soft feel since the glass reinforced technopolymer provides a natural cushioning effect which reduces harshness and backlash.

Elesa transmission elements can be coupled to both technopolymer and metal gears. This is an excellent solution for all those applications where it is necessary to obtain a faster dissipation of the heat accumulated during the operation.

For heavy duty applications racks are available with steel core, spur gears are provided with plain pass-through mounting holes or undrilled hubs.

This system is particularly suitable for applications that require frequent format changes, facilitating the correct adjustment of the target/current position of the machine parts, also representing a safety system. PLC control does not allow the machine to start the production cycle, thus avoiding production issues.

The new levelling feet series Hygienic Design (LM-HD-SST, LM.F-HDSST) including screws and nuts (NTHD-SST) are suitable for environments where a high degree of hygiene management is required and they are certified 3-A by Sanitary Standard, Inc. that promotes food safety and public health.

Furthermore, the execution with holes for ground mounting is certified according to the EHEDG guidelines (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group).

Among its over 40,000 product codes available in stock, Elesa offers an extensive selection of standard components, in the ELECOLORS* chromatic range: orange, grey, yellow, blue, red and black.

Livelier colours than the traditional grey and green "Reseda", typical of the mechanical industries of the past, these are now accepted and requested by a growing number of sectors. The reasons behind this new market requirement come from an aesthetics renewal process of machine tools and equipment that has transformed the design and requirements (not only technical) of the components.

Contact details Daniel Hodson, Tel: 01526 322670

The Elesa LMHD hygienic levelling feet with mounting holes provide rugged adjustable equipment mounting and facilitate reduced cleaning work – which can be up to 25% of the production time. Thus leaving more time available for production, with less use of resources such as fresh water, energy and cleaning agents, also with less waste water to process, and so lower total costs.

LMHD series feet are certified according to EHEDG guidelines and are therefore ideal for use in hygienic applications including not only where food is produced but in many other industrial areas, such as the pharmaceutical industry and in the manufacture of paints and dyes.

The LMHD levelling feet are designed with a bottom seal which protects the area beneath the foot plate from dirt and a sealing ring above the adjustment sleeve which enables fastening without creating a dead space. They also have a mobile foot joint with a wiping action ball seal and a high quality finish which prevents adherence of dirt and facilitates cleaning.

The Elesa LMHD levelling feet are part of a special series of standard components that meet the requirements of the EHEDG and the 3-A Sanitary Standards manufactured with FDA and EU compliant plastics and elastomers. Their special seal design ensures reliable protection for static and adjustable parts.

Date:

Location: NEC, Birmingham

The extensive Elesa range of standard machine elements is designed around the needs of the process and packaging industries. Much of this range will be on display at the 2018 PPMA Exhibition, taking place on 25th – 27th September at NEC Birmingham.

Featured on the Elesa stand - E02 - will be their IP65-7 direct drive digital position indicators with electronic mechanism for easy set up and readout on all forms of processing and packaging equipment from slicers to conveyors and bottling to cosmetics filling machinery.

These are coupled with the Elesa wireless spindle positioning system which enables faster and more reliable machine set up by use of a wireless connected profile controller, which displays the initial set up values on each of up to 36 electronic position indicators. The operator can simply choose the appropriate menu then quickly re-set each spindle to its correct start position and the machine is “good to go”. This saves time and takes out much of the possibility of human error.

The Elesa hygienic levelling feet (EHEDG certified) for use in bio-hazard areas such as food processing or other hygiene sensitive areas, feature mounting holes which provide rugged adjustable equipment mounting and facilitate reduced cleaning work – which can be up to 25% of the production time. Thus leaving more time available for production, with less use of resources such as fresh water, energy and cleaning agents, also with less waste water to process, and so lower total costs.

A wide range of industrial levelling feet complement the needs of equipment manufacturers, many are in stainless steel for heavy duty application and special designs with vibration damping pads to prolong equipment life or for use on conveyor systems.

The Elesa IP67 CFSW safety switch and hinge unit also on display facilitates safe operation of access panels and control equipment.

Contact details Daniel Hodson, Tel 01526 322670, sales@elesa.co.uk

The team at TRAKRAP produce low waste transit wrapping systems for food and related products. As long-term customers of Elesa for a wide variety of equipment components, they use standard hinges and handles in their machine protection enclosures. So it was fortuitous that visiting an Elesa exhibition stand, one of the TRAKRAP engineers came across their ingenious CFSW combined hinge and electrical cut-off switch for just this situation.

Alan Read – Head of Engineering at TRAKRAP – explained “we are constantly developing our machines – looking to ensure good cost-effective manufacture and especially to manage low maintenance costs – as our machine leasing programme incorporates a long-term maintenance plan. Finding the Elesa CFSW hinge-cut-off has helped simplify our machine guarding system by eliminating the need for a separate bracket and switch, and delivered a significant cost saving in both components and fitting times in the process.”

TRAKRAP are especially conscious of waste, recycling and use of resources in their FMCG packaging marketplace where they are constantly seeking to minimize use of packaging materials such as cardboard and plastic wrap for their transit packs. Also they seek to reduce handling time in assembling and breaking down of these packs, so that the individual cartons may be placed quickly on store shelves while providing good stability in palleting and transit.

TRAKRAP machines are often used in areas associated with regular wash-down cycles so the CFSW is highly suitable, offering IP67 dust and water protection.

The CFSW is double insulated and approved by IMQ CA02.04800 in compliance with EN 60947-1/2007 + EN 60947-5-1:2004 + A1/2009. Low voltage control auxiliaries. Approved by UL: E360222.l. It is available with different combinations of contacts with positive opening (2NO+2NC, 1NO+3NC etc.). These robust units are tested to a B10d value of 2,000,000, are totally tamper-proof, and may be quickly and easily installed. The CFSW integrated cut-off hinge provides a simple, reliable and elegant solution to this personnel or equipment safety issue.

The recently introduced CFSW hinges with built-in safety switch and the RH-FG16 series of tubular handles, also with built-in safety switch, highlight a significant development for standard component manufacturers Elesa. These products reflect the increasing need for electrical machine protection devices in association with safety screens and cages or control enclosures and cabinets. In this situation they ensure that dangerous machinery or other equipment is neutralized when the access door is opened – so providing a vital safety aspect for operator and service personnel.

Elesa gives customers a choice – to install the safety cut-off as part of a door hinge or integrated with a standard handle installation.

No longer do installers of machines, conveyors or other industrial equipment need to add an extra push button with mounting box and extra wiring. Now installers can make use of a safety cut-off built in to the guard or housing with corresponding savings in equipment and fitting costs.
