Manufacturing heritage of Willtec Messtechnik and German precision traditions

Family-owned instrument enterprise Willtec Messtechnik GmbH & Co. KG situated in March-Hugstetten within the Black Forest region has engineered specialized measuring instruments for industrial machinery across decades.

Established by the Willmann family, the enterprise holds a proven reputation as a dependable partner for machine tool adjustment units.

The manufacturing scope of Willtec Messtechnik / Willtec encompasses spindle position indicators, rotary encoders, flexible magnetic measurement scales with steel band protection, draw-wire travel sensors, and modular inspection tables of the QuickMessKit line.

Internal quality control ensures long-term calibration stability and sensor protection.

Spindle position indicators for dependable changeover on industrial machines

Mechanical and electronic position indicators by Willtec Messtechnik / Willtec series OP and EP are designed for direct installation onto drive spindles and adjustment shafts of slides, fences, and roll stands.

The instrument translates lead screw rotation into distinct digital readout of linear tool travel, eliminating human adjustment errors.

The indicator structure relies upon an impact-resistant polyamide housing featuring ultrasonic sealing to shield counting mechanisms from coolant emulsions, oils, and abrasive metal swarf.

Built-in reduction bushings with internal bore diameters from 10 to 30 mm and clamping screws facilitate rapid mounting across diverse plant machinery.

Non-contact magnetic scales and measuring bands for harsh workshop settings

For coordinate tracking across machine tool carriages, woodworking saws, and stone processing tables, Willtec Messtechnik / Willtec manufactures incremental and absolute magnetic systems series WAM and WMS.

Measuring principles rely upon reading alternating magnetic poles along a flexible strip via magnetoresistive heads without friction.

A continuous protective strip made of spring stainless steel safeguards the magnetic elastomer against hot chips, abrasive grit, and liquid coolants.

Compact reading heads incorporate an internal microprocessor interpolator outputting RS422 quadrature signals with micron resolution even during rapid slide traverse speeds.

Rotary encoders for feedback loops in automated drive systems and tooling axes

Monitoring rotational speed, direction, and shaft coordinates across electric motors, spindles, and indexing tables is achieved by precision angular sensors from Willtec Messtechnik / Willtec.

Incremental encoders generate up to 10000 pulses per single revolution, providing high coordinate precision within closed-loop servo mechanisms.

Absolute encoders from Willtec featuring multiturn gear mechanisms retain position coordinates during full electrical shutdowns, preventing the need for axis homing procedures upon restart.

The instruments feature standard fieldbus links SSI, CANopen, or RS485 and rigid internal bearings capable of absorbing radial plant vibration.

Draw-wire linear motion sensors for hydraulic presses and material handling

To measure long travel distances across hydraulic presses, telescopic masts, and automated warehouse stackers, Willtec Messtechnik / Willtec supplies draw-wire displacement transducers.

An internal drum mechanism with a spiral spring delivers consistent wire tension across the full measurement stroke from 50 mm up to 15000 mm.

A sealed aluminum alloy housing with IP65 ingress protection insulates the internal spring drum and sensor module from harsh plant environments.

Transducers are available with analog outputs of 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, potentiometric circuits, as well as direct coupling to digital incremental and absolute encoders for PLC systems.

Modular measuring tables QuickMessKit and mechanical bevel gearboxes

For shop-floor inspection of elongated extrusions, tubular profiles, and cut blanks, Willtec Messtechnik / Willtec engineered coordinate measuring benches QuickMessKit, EasyLine, and ErgoLine.

Rigid aluminum structural beams, precision linear guides, and digital readouts allow operators to verify part length down to 0.01 mm.

To synchronize multiple lead screws during coordinated movement of end stops and guides, mechanical bevel gearboxes 66/..., RINV-OP, and screw jacks MAR40, MAR50, MAR60 are deployed. Spiral bevel gear profiles with 1:1 and 1:2 ratios ensure smooth 90-degree torque transmission with minimal backlash.
