Efficient dosing processes: Control vs. regulation - what makes the difference?
In industrial dosing processes, controlling the quantity dispensed is crucial for quality and efficiency. But how can you ensure that dosing is always precise? We compare four different control models and show how the Walther Valve Controller (WVC) drastically reduces the integration effort. Figure 1 (🇬🇧 5): Classic PLC control without feedback
The valve is opened for a fixed time ⏱️, but the actual quantity discharged can fluctuate - e.g. due to changes in pressure or viscosity. Without measuring the actual discharge quantity, process reliability remains limited.Figure 2 (🇬🇧 6): PLC with volume flow meter for process evaluation (IO/NIO)
Measuring the discharged quantity is possible, but involves a high level of integration effort (additional hardware, software adaptations, calibration and fine adjustment). Figure 3 (🇬🇧 7): WVC control with volume flow meter for process evaluation (IO/NIO)
Low integration effort via plug-and-play: Automatic calibration and compensation of dead times facilitate commissioning. The volumetric flow is controlled directly via the WVC, without complex PLC adaptations.Figure 4 (🇬🇧 8): WVC as a control system
The highest level of process control: regulation instead of control! The WVC dynamically adjusts the valve opening time to ensure a constant discharge rate - regardless of external influencing factors such as pressure or viscosity fluctuations. Conclusion: If you want process reliability with minimum effort, there is no way around a solution with the WVC!

Employee spotlight: Tom Oswald
Today we would like to introduce Tom Oswald, Sales Manager at Walther Systemtechnik. Since 1 May 2020, Tom has been an integral part of our team, shaping customer relationships with his technical expertise and strong commitment. What Tom enjoys most about his role is the daily interaction with customers, both in person and over the phone. Customer site visits are a particular highlight for him, as they allow him to experience the wide range of applications within our portfolio first-hand – from primary forming and forming processes to highly automated assembly systems. New challenges and the opportunity to help develop solutions for emerging technologies make his work varied and stimulating. Tom is especially motivated by strong team spirit, collaborative problem-solving and satisfied customers. When everyone works together towards a common goal and the best possible solution is achieved, that is his greatest reward. One of his key strengths is his excellent communication skills combined with a calm and structured approach to analysing complex processes. No challenge is too demanding – Tom remains focused and solution-oriented. Outside of work, Tom enjoys being creative as a DJ, creating emotional experiences through music. He also stays active through fitness training and various ball sports. His advice to his younger self: life is not always easy and can sometimes feel unfair. What matters most is not giving up and keeping your goal in sight – success is a staircase, not a door. Reflecting on his career path, Tom says he would follow it exactly the same way again – although he would place more emphasis on learning English during his school years. Tom, we are proud to have you as part of the Walther Systemtechnik team.

Controlled Sealing Compound Application Using the WSV
The WSV is highly versatile. In addition to being used as a spray valve, it can also be operated as an outlet valve without pneumatic actuation, for example for the controlled application of highly viscous sealing compounds.
In the application shown, the sealing compound is precisely applied to the sealing edge of a housing by a robot. The uniform application along the defined housing contour ensures a continuous sealing bead and reproducible sealing quality.
In combination with a coordinated conveying system, the setup enables controlled dosing even when processing highly viscous media.
The precise application of the sealing compound reliably protects electromechanical components against moisture, dust and other environmental influences and contributes to the long-term functional reliability of the assembly.

Cured and ready for operation
The spray valves of the WSV series are designed for use in industrial production environments with increased mechanical, thermal and environmental loads. For this reason, Walther Systemtechnik deliberately relies on protective methods such as potting of electronic components during the manufacture of the valve assemblies. The potting process reliably protects the integrated electronics against mechanical impact, moisture, contamination, as well as extreme temperatures and thermal cycling, thereby making a significant contribution to long-term functional reliability. The valve heads shown here have been potted with a high-quality two-component polyurethane resin. After curing, the resin increases the mechanical stability of the assembly and ensures reliable operation of the spray valves even under demanding industrial conditions.

Lubrication of rolling bearings – project successfully completed
For the precise lubrication of rolling bearings, Walther Systemtechnik has developed and successfully implemented an advanced lubricant application system. The system specifically addresses the high requirements for component lubrication in rolling bearing production, particularly for small batch sizes and a high degree of product variation.
The core of the solution is the use of pulse valves, which enable pinpoint and reproducible lubricant application. The system is designed to be adapted quickly and efficiently to changing production requirements. Automation, low set-up effort, integrated recipe management and continuous process monitoring are consistently combined within a single solution.
High flexibility and fast changeover: By simply replacing the gripper jaws, the system can be quickly adapted to different bearing dimensions and bearing types. This enables short set-up times and economical production even with frequent product changeovers.
Automated lubrication process: Manual loading of the rolling bearings is complemented by a fully automated sequence. This includes component pick-up, positioning and alignment, single- or double-sided lubricant application, and subsequent component removal. The result is consistently high quality and excellent repeatability of the lubrication process.
Integrated recipe management: Lubricant recipes and application parameters can be stored and retrieved on a bearing-type-specific basis. This increases process reliability, reduces operating errors and ensures that each bearing variant is lubricated exactly in accordance with its technical requirements.
Reliable process control: Integrated monitoring functions continuously safeguard the lubricant application process. Dispensed volume and application position are monitored, ensuring precise dosing and a high level of process stability.

Pump system for highly abrasive thermal paste
This pump system is designed for the handling of demanding media. As a customised solution, it features an application-specific design and is configured as a tandem system to ensure uninterrupted conveying of highly abrasive thermal interface material. The integrated homogenisation ensures continuous mixing of the medium, which is prone to rapid separation. To guarantee uniform media supply, a downstream gear-type flow meter is integrated to continuously monitor the volumetric flow rate. This enables constant conveying, an accurate dosing basis and increased process efficiency. The application of the thermal interface material is carried out via a hand-held outlet valve, making the system suitable for flexible application processes. The pump system was developed to meet high requirements for reliability and performance and provides clear added value when handling highly abrasive media.
