International approvals WIKA only supplies instruments which meet the guidelines and standards of the machine-building industry. In addition, rigorous testing of the instruments used, by national and international authorised bodies, guarantees their reliability. WIKA holds approvals from different industrial nations and test authorities. The following approvals and declarations of conformity are examples. Please use the specifications of the respective products from their data sheet. CAD files for your plant planning For many products, we offer CAD files (2D or 3D) in order to facilitate...

Machine tools This term combines turning, drilling and milling centres, presses, punches and also laser processing machines or high-pressure water jet cutters. As metalworkers themselves, WIKA knows the challenges of different machine tools from their own experience. The cooperation between development and their own pre-manufacturing has led to products which fulfil the measurement tasks of a machine tool outstandingly. Use the experience of WIKA for the selection of the right measuring instrument and its positioning. Any machine tool, besides the machine itself, consists of the oil...

Our robust and accurate measuring instruments monitor the level in the cooling lubricant tank, the clamping force via the hydraulic pressure at the clamping cylinder, the spindle bearing temperature or also the closing force of a press. Our flow switch detects any insufficient flow of the cooling lubricant and thus protects the tool and workpiece from overheating and damage. Hydraulic power pack see page 10 With presses, force is the main measured variable. In most cases, with hydraulically operated presses, the hydraulic pressure is measured and the force calculated from the piston area of...

Plastics machinery As numerous as the products they manufacture are the designs of plastics machinery. A blow-film machine for the production of breathable or barrier films, films for heavy sacks, adhesive tapes or labels looks different from an injection moulding machine for the production of children’s toys, parts for cases or transparent headlamp lenses. The common feature is the melting and moulding of plastic granules. Basically, a distinction is made between extruders with continuous delivery of the melt and injection moulding machines, in which cavities in a mould tool are filled...

With injection moulding machines, precise pressure measurement is important for the correct tool clamping force. The approach of “the bigger the better” does not apply here. Too high a pressure will deform the tool and the injected parts will be deformed. If the pressure is too low and the tool is insufficiently closed, the melt forces the cavities apart from each other and there will be burrs on the product. Each plastics machine, alongside the machine itself, includes various peripheral devices. Before the feed (the funnel) the preparation of the granulate occurs, the dedusting and...

Hydraulic power packs From fun-fair rides to workshop lifting platforms and also machine tools or plastics machinery – their operation always requires a hydraulic power pack. Only the high energy density of hydraulic machinery offers the highest forces at the lowest possible size. The system pressure is read from a pressure gauge. Liquidfilled models are easily readable and unaffected by vibration. The continuous recording and maintenance of the system and control pressures is monitored by pressure switches or sensors. The PSD-4 electronic pressure switch offers a combination of switching...

Lubrication systems Lubrication systems with lubricating grease or oil minimise friction and wear. They improve the machine reliability and service life of all moving parts and bearings, reducing corrosion and lowering downtime. The level monitoring in the reservoir ensures uninterrupted lubrication. This can be carried out through visual inspection or automatically – for example, if the reservoir is mounted out-of-sight – with a level sensor or switch. WIKA measurement technology enables lubrication with the right quantity at exactly the right point. For this, recording the system pressure...
