DD52R-E-RF position indicators are part of Elesa's new wireless spindle positioning system.

Gould Fasteners continues to be one of Canada’s most respected distributors of fastening products, hardware, and other components and instruments for the industrial market. The supplier has partnered with dozens of manufacturers who are well-reputed for quality, such as Elesa, a producer of standard machine elements – including its latest innovation, its DD52R-E-RF position indicators.

Introduced in May, these new position indicators are part of Elesa’s new wireless spindle positioning system, which has been designed to enable more efficient manual spindle positioning. Up to 36 DD52R-E-RF indicators can operate in a network with one UC-RF control unit, connected via radio frequency.

Fast and easy installation

Elesa recommends this wireless spindle positioning system for applications requiring frequent format changes, facilitating correct adjustment of the target/current position of machine components and representing a safety system. Production issues are eliminated because PLC does not enable the machine to begin a production cycle.

Users typically set up machines manually with traditional mechanical indicators coupled with hand wheels or crank handles, according to a list of setup parameters. Because this Elesa wireless spindle positioning system does not need any connecting cables between the UC-RF control unit and the position indicators, installing the system becomes a fast and easy process.

Another key advantage of this system is its available functions and programmable parameters, with which only one item can be used for many different applications, such as shaft pitch variations, rotation direction, and unit of measure. Other notable features of the new system include the following:

  • A six-digit display, which is easily readable even from a distance and from a variety of angles;
  • A high degree of protection, rated IP65 or IP67, which makes the system compatible with applications requiring frequent washing, even washing with intense water jets;
  • 304 stainless steel construction, which makes the devices corrosion-resistant; and
  • More than three years of battery life.

Product technical data sheets are also available from the manufacturer.
