developing and manufacturing machines
for the industry. He established the
company with a vision to produce top
quality a ordable machinery for the
ferrous wire industry.
His vision has been realised over the
years as Cli ord developed from a small
local company into an internationally
recognised producer of technologically
advanced machinery.
The company has, over the years, applied
sound basic engineering design principles
and blended these with cutting edge
technologies to produce machines
allowing Cli ord’s customers to see
signi cant cost, quality and production
bene ts in their manufacturing processes.
Cli ord is situated in Pietermaritzburg,
South Africa. The facility is housed on
24,000m2 and provides all the infrastructure
required for design, development
manufacture, assembly and testing of
machines.
Almost all manufacturing is done in-
house, including machining, fabrication,
cutting and nishing.

Clinton Instrument
Company
Stand: 09E40
The Clinton Instrument Company,
specialist in spark test technology for the
wire and cable industry and inventor of
the high frequency sine wave spark tester,
will be exhibiting its newest o ering, the
model HF-15B high frequency sine wave
spark tester, the agship model of the new
B-series.
This new design combines the latest in
control technology with the robust and
reliable 3kHz spark test platform.
There are many new features of the
HF-15B, including a split electrode design
for easy string up and digital signal
processor (DSP) based voltage regulation
and fault detection. The fault detection
circuit has been upgraded and test
voltage is now monitored directly from
the electrode, instead of a transformer
winding. The fault circuitry can now
di erentiate between four types of fault
conditions: simple pinholes, a series of
closely spaced pinholes, direct metal
contact from the centre conductor to the
electrode, and gross lengths of bare wire.
The new “RC” controller comes xed
to the unit, but can be detached and
mounted remotely up to 60 metres
away from the test module/electrode.
It has a large alphanumeric display/
user interface and can be rotated in its
bracket to accommodate di erent viewing
angles. The display makes con guration
of the equipment easy; all con guration
parameters can be changed directly from
the front panel menu structure.
