Advantages of WIKA measuring instruments All relevant measurands in the portfolio ■ highly dynamic applications Reduced maintenance and repair effort High plant availability ■ indicating, switching or combined designs ■ continuous measurement with analogue or digital output signals Durable, even with high loads ■ highly dynamic applications Maximum operational safety Time for networking Wireless sensors are no longer simply suppliers of measured values. Rather, the sensors can, in addition, be combined with extensive intelligence, so their performance is multiplied. WIKA accompanies you through...

International approvals High-quality components are essential for safe and reliable production processes. The industrial instruments supplied by WIKA meet the guidelines and standards of the machinebuilding industry. Rigorous testing of the instruments, by national and international certification bodies, results in reliability and stable workflows. WIKA instruments create the prerequisites for highly efficient processes and the avoidance of risks to people, the environment and property, certified by a wide range of approvals and certificates from various industrialised nations and test authorities....

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 ourselves, WIKA knows the challenges of different machine tools from their own experience. The cooperation between development and their own premanufacturing 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 hydraulics...

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 8 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 the...

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. Mechanical damping of the pressure port protects the sensor element from pressure spikes. The system pressure is read from a pressure gauge. Liquid-filled models are easily readable and unaffected by vibration. With our temperature monitoring of the hydraulic oil, critical conditions can be identified early and the...

To an increasing extent, hydraulically and pneumatically powered drive elements are getting replaced with a combination of electric motors and mechanical thrust units. Indirect force measurement via the control pressure is no longer possible here. WIKA makes the integration of the (now necessary) direct force measurement into the drive chain particularly easy for you, from miniature transducers for often limited installation space to precision force sensors. For this, the sensor can be mounted on the motor, in the middle of the line or at the press-in point itself. Industry 4.0 and IIoT also...

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 outof-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 is...
