- Elesa hygiene levelling feet are now EHEDG Certified

Date:

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), so 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.

Maximum hygiene is a fundamental requirement, not only where food is produced. Hygiene also plays an increasing role in other industrial areas, from the pharmaceutical industry to the manufacture of paints and dyes. Nowadays, a major issue is the manufacture of products without added preservatives or with as few added preservatives as possible, while still achieving a long shelf life. However, this can only be achieved in a production environment in which all risks of contamination with microorganisms or dirt are excluded. For plant construction, this means that all components, elements, as well as surfaces, must be designed accordingly. Contaminants must not accumulate and must be easy to remove.

The LM.F-HD-SST in sizes from 30000N to 67000N is part of the Elesa Hygiene Design range which includes a series of knobs and handles all to hygienic design criteria.

The Elesa range of heavy duty manual latch and toggle clamps in the MTP and MPB series are supplemented with their PPC pneumatic drive units for push-button or automated operation. A particular feature of Elesa heavy duty clamps is their in-built adaptability to suit work-holding, jig closure etc. by virtue of their adjustment and/or weldability for integration into workstation equipment. An aspect greatly facilitated by their ease of disassembly/rebuild which speeds both installation and maintenance so saving money while providing a high quality production solution.

The MTP/MTP-D are hook-style quick-release clamps in steel, offering a linear or right-angled pull from 12,000 to 40,000N closing force, while the MPB vertical toggle clamps provide closure force from 10,000 to 30,000N.

Where manual operation is too slow or perhaps multiple repetitive operations are to be avoided, then the PPC pneumatic clamp is an obvious solution providing up to 20,000N.

Elesa at Southern Manufacturing Exhibition, FIVE, Farnborough, 5th – 7th February 2019, Stand No.: F250

The extensive Elesa range of standard machine elements is designed around the needs of manufacturing in all industry sectors, many of which will be on display at the 2019 Southern Manufacturing Exhibition. This takes place on 5th – 7th February at FIVE, Farnborough.

Featured on the Elesa stand no. F250 will be their new ZCR and ZCL modular gear racks and spur gears which 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.

These are readily paired with Elesa’s IP65-7 direct dial digital position indicators with electronic mechanism for easy set up and readout coupled with the Elesa wireless spindle positioning system. This 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.

A wide range of levelling feet complement the needs of equipment manufacturers, many in stainless steel for heavy duty application and special designs with vibration damping pads to prolong equipment life or for use in bio-hazard areas such as food processing and other hygiene sensitive areas.

The Elesa LMHD hygienic levelling feet (EHEDG certified) 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.

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.

The Elesa stand at this year’s Advanced Engineering Exhibition focuses on specialist equipment and design considerations. These include their new wireless position indicators and hygienic design levelling feet, as well as their ELECOLORS* program for matching components to customer colour schemes.

The new Elesa DD52R-E-RF is a wireless spindle positioning system, designed for an efficient manual spindle positioning, consists of UC-RF control unit and, up to 36 electronic position indicators DD52R-E-RF (Elesa Patent).

Most often, machine setup is performed manually by means of traditional mechanical indicators coupled with handwheels or crank handles, following a specific list of set-up parameters.

The new electronic position indicators DD52R-E-RF are networked to UCRF control unit via radio frequency (RF). 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.

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.

Elesa DD52R-E-RF position indicators are networked to the UC-RF control unit by radio connection thus enabling an easy and quick installation. Current and target positions are transmitted by RF to and from the control unit, facilitating rapid machine set up.

The system consequently saves time during the format alignment process. Once the set up profile has been called up by the PLC, the control unit UC-RF transmits the target position to each DD52R-E-RF position indicator. The current/target position is displayed on the LCD of the DD52R-E-RF. The operator manually sets the position of the spindles following the arrow displayed on the LCD (clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation). Once all the spindles are correctly set, the UC-RF control unit communicates to the PLC of the machine that the setup has been completed - the system prevents the start of the machine until the set-up has been completed, for safety reasons and to prevent loss of production from incorrect settings.

The UC-RF controller can network with up to 36 position indicators and is compatible with PLC Interfaces: RS232, RS485, Ethernet/IP, Profibus and Modbus. The DD52R-E-RF (IP67) position indicator 6 digit display mode can be selected by the operator.

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.

Standard machine elements from Elesa on show at MACH Exhibition, 9th - 13th April 2018

Date:

The extensive Elesa range of standard machine elements is designed around the needs of manufacturing in all industry sectors, many of which will be on display at the 2018 MACH Exhibition, taking place on 9th – 13th April at NEC Birmingham.

Featured on the Elesa stand – Hall 6, No. 72 - will be their IP65-7 direct dial digital position indicators with electronic mechanism for easy set up and readout.

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 LMHD 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.

Elesa machine safety components – hinges, handles and handwheels

Date:

As market leaders in the area of standard industrial components, Elesa have an extensive portfolio of safety related items. Major concerns over machine cut-off related to opening of control cabinets, guarding barriers or service panels are addressed by products such as the CFSW plastic hinges with built-in multiple switch – this enables electrical shut-off of equipment where the door/panel is opened where for example use of a handle based mechanism is not desirable.

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. These robust units are tested to a B10d value of 2,000,000, are totally tamper-proof, and may be quickly and easily installed.

In other situations the Elesa EBR-CH bridge pull handle with integral lock offers a simple way of latching sliding doors with key lock without the need for installation of separate lock and grab handle.

A long recognized area of safety concern is that of shaft mounted revolving handwheels for machines. In this case the Elesa solid handwheel VD.FP+I+ST provides the assurance of a free spinning de-clutched mechanism until the operator pulls the handwheel to engage drive. Safety handwheels are designed in accordance with accident prevention rules: in case of push or accidental pressure when the machine is operating, the handwheel is disengaged and is in the rest position. Only by "Pulling" the handwheel parallel to the axis can the shaft operate. The handwheel returns automatically to its rest position when it is released after the operation.

These handwheels can be supplied with "Push-coupling". By inserting the bushing the other way round, the handwheel operates opposite to the standard way.

Date:

With machine components, as with much else, “form follows function” – in which case the Elesa Ergostyle® range of standard operating elements must work really very well indeed. In fact of course with their well-known care over operator comfort and safety, Elesa have combined a bit of Italian flair in design which makes any machine look special.

The expected parameters of precision, grip and strength all compliment today’s range of hi-tech, hi-precision manufacturing machinery. This includes adjustable and lever handles, handwheels, clamp handles, crank handles, pull handles, and handles for special applications such as instruments and desktop equipment.

Notable in the Ergostyle® range are their EMW Monospoke handwheels in glass fibre reinforced polypropylene technopolymer with soft-touch or fold-away safety handles. The ERW adjustable handles and ERFW lever handles are especially useful where height restrictions determine the need for a flat lever rather than an inclined version. They are capable of maintaining performance in repetitive clamping situations with very high frequency. The sister product ERX-CR is a chrome plated version of the push-button clamping handle which has an especially striking “techno” look while the ERFW+I Crank handles provide an easy way to wind shafts and gauges with fingertip control.

The Ergostyle® range encompasses all areas of industrial equipment which naturally includes machine guarding and control systems where their EBR-PN handle with pneumatic valve offers safety machine shut-off at the point of access.

Even tube supports are catered for with Elesa’s NIL Ribbed Tube End Plugs in polyethylene black or grey to suit black steel or solid anodised aluminium tube.

Elesa breather caps and level indicators hit the mark for Sarum Hydraulics Micropac hand pumps

Date:

Elesa filler breathers and level indicators have been an important part of specialist hydraulic hand pumps, pressure testing units and dispensing equipment from Sarum Hydraulics for 30 years. This is a long term relationship based on quality components, leading design style and reliability of supply, which has enabled Sarum Hydraulics to produce equipment for a wide range of applications requiring very reliable high performance actuation, pressure testing and system charging pumps such as their Micropac hand pump series.

These are pumps which are likely to find themselves as operationally critical in especially arduous conditions such as: marine on-board, from yachts to lifeboats, ferries, oil rigs and gas platforms, as well as process plants, pumping sites and food processing, medical lifting equipment and for use on construction sites. Aerospace/Defence – helicopter and aircraft service and maintenance are also important environments.

At a time when most manufacturers were still using plated carbon steel components, Sarum Hydraulics saw the chance to use the Elesa innovative moulded polymer filler breather caps across their range of high grade stainless steel hydraulic pumping products.

Explained Sarum Hydraulics Managing Director John Foster “Elesa has proven a great supplier partnership. Within the filler breather range, we needed a high quality low corrosion polymer breather cap that offers easy dipstick operation, non-splash fill and a pressurised option. Caps and level indicators from Elesa look the part and can be tailored to our exact needs. We can forget onerous and costly swapping between port sizes on fabricated reservoirs. For us, the Elesa range has proven to be seamless.”

Sarum Hydraulics has standardised on the safe-fill SFP filler breather allowing easy addition of the FRF basket, dipsticks and the SFW pressurised cap. This combination prevents backsplash and ingress of foreign material. For level indication, the HCX INOX liquid level sight gauge with transparent sight tube and stainless steel fittings at 127mm or 254mm centres are a robust choice.

Date:

Elesa permanent magnets offer a simple way of providing temporary fixing for workpieces, instruments, gauges, covers, doors, signs or drawers. They offer a range of closure from low to extremely high adhesive force in a very small footprint – giving easy manual placement or concealed closure if required. Temporary fixing with high power magnets can provide permanent solutions, quickly adjusted or removed completely.

For example, Elesa’s range of high quality permanent magnets in sintered hard ferrite, Aluminium nickel cobalt (AINiCo), Samarium cobalt (SmCo) and Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) are structured to have one adhesive surface only with poles optimized and arranged in such a way that the whole magnetic energy is focused on the adhesive surface. The effect in the area of the magnetic field is limited by a shielded system, avoiding the magnetization of the surrounding objects.
Neodymium magnets are ideal for location and temporary fixing of workpieces or panels or for sensor holding, e.g. on conveyors or other machinery. Moving down the scale applications can be as varied as supermarket labelling, locating presentation materials, white boards, cabinet door closure or magnetic filtration, e.g. of metal particles in engine sumps or in machinery and equipment.
These high quality permanent magnets are available in flat format with or without, steel or stainless steel housings in lacquer or thermoplastic coating and in cylinder format with brass housed sandwich configuration. U Magnets and cylinder magnets in red lacquer with pass-through facility are also part of the standard series.

They are suited for machine access panels and guarding – also for maintenance doors covering internal mechanisms or electrics – so preventing unauthorised personal interaction with dangerous moving parts or electrical systems.

The traditional configuration would involve two handles and one or two quarter-turn locks – whereas Elesa’s new PR-CH design incorporates a quarter-turn lock/latch into the handle which has a quick snap-in assembly feature. This greatly simplifies installation as the separate quarter-turn locks are no longer required and their time consuming fixing can be eliminated, saving on installation costs as well as purchase of separate components.

Panel Support Clamp from Elesa (UK) is judged “Most Innovative Auxiliary Equipment” at 2014 PPMA Awards

Date:

Elesa (UK)’s Panel Support Clamp was winner of the “Most Innovative Auxiliary Equipment” category at the PPMA Show 2014 Awards – presented by Rory Bremner.

The judges were impressed with Elesa’s panel support clamp, stating that “whilst it appears to be quite a modest item compared with some other submissions, it solves a lot of problems with the fitting – and especially the repair and retro-fit – of safety guards”. They also liked the fact that the clamp is applicable to guarding situations in all industries.

The Elesa Panel Support Clamp enables easy installation of protective panels onto industrial frames in steel or aluminium as desired. It incorporates full component retention when open, as required by Machine Directive (2006/42/CE), plus rubber grip pads to ensure stable location without drilling of the panel. Panel installation with PC Panel Support Clamps requires only that the correct spacer be fitted to match the relevant panel thickness and then the hex keyed screw (M6) be tightened up – the positive grip characteristics of the clamp plus its method of fixing then ensure a secure fixing of the guard panel. In what was an extremely competitive year, with the highest amount of entries since the Awards were introduced, to make the shortlist in itself was considered a huge achievement, so to win the category was a wonderful recognition for Elesa’s innovative design of standard machine components.

High accuracy non-contact magnetic measuring position indicator from Elesa UK

Date:

The new magnetic measurement system from Elesa utilises a magnetic band and non-contact sensor to provide highly accurate repeatable measurements for industries such as furniture/wood working, window frame assembly, steel frame builders etc. Typically the magnetic strip is fixed to the machine bed, e.g. cross cut saw or milling equipment, with the sensor and indicator mounted on the travelling feed part. The system can be set up for simple linear measurement in millimetres/inches and for angular measurement in degrees, with an accuracy of 0.1mm and repeatability of 0.01mm.
The Elesa system is characterised by extremely easy assembly, and by virtue of its simple accurate measurement it enables precise positioning alignment so reducing time by keeping machinery procedures to a minimum. The non-contact feature of the system means that it is not subject to wear and tear and therefore does not require maintenance. Similarly, without direct contact it is not affected by moisture, dust, oils and process residues – it is also insensitive to vibration for the same reason.
The position indicator MPI-15 may be set to read out measured values in absolute or incremental mode (to make relative measures within the measuring range), to select the unit of measure (mm, inches or degrees) and the counting direction and to set the offset values to compensate for tool wear. The MPI-15 incorporates a self-diagnostic battery check, sensor check and magnetic tape check. It is powered by an external battery 1.5 VDC and is equipped with a buffered memory during battery substitution. Battery life is 1 ½ year typical.
The magnetic band M-BAND-10 is easily assembled thanks to an adhesive backing and it is protected against mechanical damage by a stainless steel cover strip.

New ELEROLL modular roller track system from Elesa

Date:

The novel ELEROLL modular roller track system from Elesa includes hard thermoplastic and soft-touch elastomer rollers plus omnidirectional ball rollers. It is unusual in that it is supplied as lengths of modular track which can be cut down or simply clipped together to suit the installation on-site.
ELEROLL is suitable for relatively light duty applications dependant on channel support – e.g. moving UPVC doors and windows, boxes of goods, luggage, container bins, sub-assemblies and finished products in Kanban systems and conveyor transfer layouts. Typically this may include manufacturing situations between machining stations and storage locations providing stock mobility to feeding and discharging benches in construction, machining, storage and picking systems, packaging machinery etc. for plate and panel handling.

The Elesa modular roller system is based on a standard aluminium channel extrusion which accepts pre-assembled modular roller sets of polyamide or thermoplastic polyurethane (soft touch for delicate materials such as glass and wood), plus ball element sets for omnidirectional movements. Roller sets come in standard 270mm lengths which clip into the aluminium channel. The roller unit may then be fitted with end caps to enable clip fitting of longer runs together with container edging/side guides, brake sections and end stops.

Standard channel is available in lengths from 270mm (1 module) to 2970mm (11 modules). Both the channel and modules are available from stock and may be trimmed to intermediate length enabling a custom unit to be rapidly produced and installed on-site.Roller sections may be mounted on their side with accessory brackets and supports so as to provide guidance where significant side loads are anticipated.

Elesa SLCK kit turns column level indicators electronic

Date:

The popular Elesa HCK column level indicator series between 127mm and 508mm length can now be ordered or retro-fitted with an electronic sensing and control kit. The SLCK kit includes a magnetic float and two off sensors which fit behind the visual column – plus a pair of spacers to distance the unit away from the reservoir. An important feature to prevent ferromagnetic interference with the float.
Installation of the SLCK kit enables control of minimum and maximum level or operation of an alarm/light at the reference positions. This is considered of great interest for example in oil tanks where under or over fill may affect the associated equipment. On larger HCK columns it is also possible to install more than one kit to achieve automatic control of different levels within the system. Visual reading of the HCK scale is not affected by installation of the SLCK magnetic sensors which fit neatly behind the transparent polycarbonate tube and scale.

New Latch clamps with safety locks from Elesa UK

Date:

Elesa MTL and MTB series latch clamps provide quick action adjustable clamping and release with an integral 2 stage button mechanism to prevent accidental opening by “knocking off” of the lever. This safety feature is positioned so that single hand operation is maintained.

MTL series are heavy duty units (up to 15000N holding force) in black oxide finished steel to facilitate welding in situ - MTB series are in black oxide steel or stainless steel offering forces up to 7500N. Both types are particularly suitable for equipment and applications subject to strong vibration stresses, where it is necessary to ensure secure clamping, including the prevention of accidental opening. Engaging and disengaging of the safety button and the clamp can be done together with a single handed action, leaving the other hand free to manipulate the workpiece. The length of the hook element in each case may be simply adjusted to suit the size of the clamped component or the clamping force desired. The MTB-SST in AISI 304 stainless steel is particularly suitable for use in those situations subject to specific hygiene regulations, such as food processing, or the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The complimentary MTR series are particularly appropriate for applications such as use on static or rotational moulds for plastic products, where fast clamp/release is important without the requirement for a safety lock.
