Today, Clavis specialises in advanced belt tensioning measuring instruments, advanced handbrake setting equipment and a fully-traceable device that detects automotive clamps closures in 0.3 seconds. The clue to Clavis beginnings are in the name: Integrated Design Systems. Back then, in 1980 and onwards, we designed and manufactured LED display panels primarily for airports and train stations that displayed the arrivals and departures. Our company was founded on a solid grounding of electrical engineering expertise, but who could have guessed where this would lead next? Clavis’ next big thing was — believe it or not — manufacturing bomb disposal robots for the armed forces. The robots had shotguns attached to them to explode the bombs, plus a camera, and we built them from top-to-bottom, apart from the outer shell that we got from a local company. A big customer was the Canadian government that wanted its robots painted in white to camouflage against snow. These robots were advanced for the time — around 1986 — but they would open a vital door of opportunity. Clavis might not manufacture bomb disposal robots anymore, but our handbrake measuring systems continue to evolve. Today, they use a spring-loaded sensor pin which remains in constant contact with the brake lever. Meanwhile, our belt tension measurement systems will prove essential as longstanding customers like Nexteer and ZF start to introduce composite drive pulleys to their electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) units. These systems present complex challenges the belt now vibrates at multiple frequencies, which is where Clavis’ FourierBMS system offers a vital solution. Clavis has come a long way from our beginnings manufacturing LED display panels for airports. But it goes to show that, through expertise combined with a real dedication to solving customers’ needs, it’s possible for a small-medium enterprise (SME) like our to change how manufacturers operate on a global scale.
