Indicators were the basis of Elesa in the UK with the transition of Clayton Instruments to Elesa Clayton and then Elesa UK. The original analogue instruments – whose derivatives are still available – were high quality, craftsman-engineered for the many industries using rollers in their processing machinery. Accuracy of these machines was – and still is – of the highest importance, where very thin material sheets of paper, fabric, metal, plastic etc. are concerned.
Generally, these gauges are of the gravity or positive drive type – they are perfectly complimented by the Elesa range of handwheels and dial knobs. The exceptional design style of these high-quality mouldings perfectly compliment the accuracy of those original Clayton instruments and their flexible approach which enables customer requirements to be incorporated.
Gravity and Positive drive movements were joined by Direct Drive digital box style indicators.
Like all Elesa Clayton units these are focused on the quality aspects of function, form, comfort, safety and aesthetics, coupled with robustness, longevity, appropriateness to application, so offering the best in value.
Machinery, and of course production requirements, continue to move on and Elesa have explored these new needs with the market over recent years – culminating in the electronically focused digital indicators which enabled radio communication between devices and a central control module.
Alongside the electronic revolution and its networking outcome, Elesa have seen the need for position indicators to be used in measurement of linear and angular movements as well as regulation of flows, capacities, strokes or variable speed drives. The electronic and networking facilities in-built in Elesa’s new generation of indicators enable time-saving, enhanced accuracy of resetting/adjustment leading to less downtime with higher quality product outcomes.
As ever, Elesa are focused on quality reflecting a meeting of minds from many years ago when Elesa and Clayton originally got together.
