Special Application Meters

We are always available to redesign our standard product to match specific applications. An example of this is the Type 14 meter which we adapted for use by Mahindra of India. The requirement was to use the meter for over checking of tension on two belts and for these values to be recorded on a data collection system. We fitted the Type 14 with two additional buttons which transmit the belt values through a serial data port on the meter. Each button is designated for each belt. The meter was also configured to run from a mains power supply so that continuous operation is possible.
A simple change to the CLAVIS optical meter was a redesign of the sensor head for the U.K. Royal Mail. With over 70 sorting offices throughout the country, millions of letters are sorted each day by sophisticated letter sorting machines which  are driven by synchronous drive belts. Correct belt tension is essential for these machines to run with the minimum of down time. The orientation of the belts on this equipment required the sensor to be 'side looking' rather than the standard 'end looking'.

CLAVIS also manufacture tension meters for some of the world leading power transmission companies which are branded with their identity.
