halstrup walcher’s position controls and pressure measurement

halstrup-walcher makes positioning systems that automate the format change axes in machines and customized mechatronic actuators, to support every type of mechanical movement in which robustness, compactness, silence and precision are important.

«The beverage sector and filling and packaging lines that also have sterility needs stand out among the areas of application» explains General Manager Dario Branchi. «The main line of products relates to position control, through solutions that integrate motor, gearbox, battery-free absolute encoders and communication buses. The aim is to control the position inside automatic machines during format changes, and tool and sensor adjustments that require occasional movements».

Ample space is also given to measuring systems, including accurate and reliable pressure transducers and calibrators, especially on low fields, which simplify the measurement of differential pressure in cleanrooms, confined spaces, air treatment and industrial air conditioning systems and also in more problematic applications such as the indirect measurement of flow rate or in contexts where the pressure both inside the machine, where processing takes place, and outside, in order to avoid contamination of the product, is measured.

halstrup-walcher has naturally focused particular attention on motion control.

«We have combined the company’s two souls, offering the state-of-the-art of our products with the PSD and PSE series stepper motors, composed of brushless motors with specific functions based on positioning» Branchi concludes. «We are focusing heavily on the line of positioning systems with integrated fieldbus, as one of the latest market trends clearly indicates the push to replace axes normally adjusted manually with automated systems that reduce or eliminate margins of error, increasing the efficiency of the machines and the entire production line».
