【New Product Information (Released February 2019)】 In production lines and prototype processing, specialized jigs are required to secure irregularly shaped items, which takes time to prepare and is also difficult to store. The revolutionary jig that solves these problems all at once is the three-dimensional curved surface universal clamp jig from Matrix in Germany. Among Matrix products, the 'X-CLAMP series' is particularly used in production and processing lines that require high torque holding power. However, since it does not automatically secure pin shapes, it could not fully accommodate line automation. The newly developed 'FLEX-CLAMP' utilizes the factory's compressed air to automatically secure and release pin bundles. Its applications include workholding jigs or auxiliary jigs for automated production lines (milling, drilling, deburring, etc.), positioning for temporary storage of heavy items, and even pickup jigs for robot handling, making it versatile for various uses depending on ideas.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

The rotation of the belt includes all vibrations from elements such as the engine, motor, and fan. Therefore, it is difficult to measure the tension of the belt alone while it is rotating.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

A. Since it uses sound waves, the surface shape and color of the belt do not matter at all. However, because the reflection of sound waves is necessary for measurement, it cannot be used with special belts that have holes.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

A. Mike Kravis was originally commissioned by an automobile manufacturer to develop a device that could be used on the production line at a university in the UK. When used on the production line, measurements must be taken within a limited time. The ability to obtain reliable data from a single measurement without errors is a very important factor in selecting measuring instruments that can be used in production line environments with tact time.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

A. Frequency (sound wave) measurement using a microphone is a conventional method, and measurements can be conducted with just one microphone. However, when measuring with only one microphone, it inevitably measures the frequency of external noise along with the natural frequency (vibration frequency) proportional to the tension reflected from the belt. In other words, frequency synthesis occurs (the synthesis of the belt's natural frequency and the noise frequency), and the measuring instrument will measure this synthesized incorrect frequency. Unfortunately, the frequency of the surrounding noise varies depending on its type (machine noise, motor, impact, air gun, human voice, etc.). Therefore, while measurements with one microphone may be stable in a noise-free environment, under noisy conditions, phenomena such as "the data seems unstable," "suddenly, strange data appears," and "I can't tell which measurement data is accurate" occur. By using "two microphones" (international patent), the unstable elements of data caused by noise can be fundamentally resolved, allowing for the measurement of only the natural frequency corresponding to the belt's tension, which is the principle behind "Klavis."

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

The ultrasonic belt tension meter "Klavis" focuses on the proportional relationship between the tension of the belt and the frequency of vibration when the belt is vibrated. To determine the current tension of the belt, it is possible to measure the natural frequency of the belt, which is proportional to the belt tension, by using ultrasonic waves.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

Currently, many major belt manufacturers, car manufacturers, and machinery manufacturers around the world have adopted it with reliability.
