THE VAHLE GROUP - HOLISTIC SYSTEM PROVIDER FOR MOBILE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
WE ELECTRIFY AND COMMUNICATE
As one of the world market leaders, VAHLE develops high-quality power, data transmission and automation systems that are used in mobile industrial applications worldwide. Quality, dynamics, innovation and passion are the cornerstones of our company.
Founded in 1912 by the inventor of the first conductor rail, Paul Vahle, four generations have since developed the family business into a high-tech company. Then, as now, our mission was to provide intelligent applications that support the needs of our customers.For over 100 years, we led the industry and impacted the world market with our innovations.
In Schwoich (Austria), we operate an innovation and development center with VAHLE Automation GmbH. With production sites at our headquarters in Kamen as well as in Dortmund, we exclusively supply high-quality products "made in Germany". We maintain service locations worldwide so that we can respond to customer inquiries at short notice anywhere at any time.
Our portfolio includes products from the fields of power transmission (vPOWER), data communication (vCOM), positioning (vPOS) and control (vDRIVE). With our flexible solutions, we primarily address customers from the amusement rides, intralogistics, people movers, crane technology, automotive, port technology and general industry.
Your Vision. Our Solution.

These days, linear units are used in almost every single area of automation and machine engineering. From simple adjustments that may be seldom required right up to highly complex, highly precise and highly dynamic multi-axis systems. Every task is different. And every task requires a technically sophisticated and cost-effective solution.
Linear units with screw drive for simple through to highly dynamic adjustment tasks
Linear units with screw drive are used primarily when tasks involve comparatively high axial shearing forces and/or highest precision is required.
Linear units with timing belt for dynamic handling tasks
Linear actuators with timing belt drive are designed for high dynamics and large travels and are primarily used for Pick & Place applications, where high repeatability in short cycle times is key.
Linear units with rack and pinion for large stroke lengths
Linear units with rack and pinionare primarily used where loads are required to travel larger stroke lengths with high positioning accuracy and high dynamics.
Using our standard accessories, the linear actuators can be easily combined to create multi-axis systems. Our product consultants are happy to help you with the planning and design of a customised system solution.

A family-owned and highly innovative supplier of customised products
halstrup-walcher GmbH is a medium-sized company, which has been in family-ownership ever since it was founded in 1946. CEO Jürgen Walcher looks back at the impressive rise of his company. "The focus of our products has changed significantly since those early days, but the precision and innovative power of our solutions have remained a constant factor."
halstrup-walcher GmbH successfully manufactures and markets products in three business areas: positioning systems for automated format changeover in mechanical engineering applications, pressure measuring technology for cleanroom, air-conditioning and OEM applications as well as drive solutions based on spur gears and actuators. The approx. 160 employees develop and manufacture both standard and customer-specific solutions. The level of in-house production is remarkable. halstrup-walcher`s strong quality assurance programme and lean processes have made it a highly professional partner offering impressive performance in terms of quality, costs and punctuality.

In 1945, Walter Pepperl and Ludwig Fuchs founded a small radio workshop in Mannheim, Germany, based on the principles of inventiveness, entrepreneurial foresight, and self-reliance. The experience they acquired was transformed into new ideas, and they continued to enjoy developing products for customers. The eventual result was the invention of the proximity switch. This innovation represented the starting point of the company's success story.
Today, Pepperl+Fuchs is known by customers around the world as a pioneer and an innovator in electrical explosion protection and sensor technology. Our main focus is always on your individual requirements: With a passion for automation and groundbreaking technology, we are committed to working in partnership with you now and in the future. We understand the demands of your markets, developing specific solutions, and integrating them into your processes."

Multiple axis combinations

Multiple axis combinations allow Cartesian movements in at least two directions. Multiple axis combinations usually are faster and lighter than conventionally combined axes.

From the simple linear axis up to the individual complete solution
Users of positioning systems appreciate individual complete solutions. As they are put into operation und are ready for production quickly - and thus save time and money.
For this purpose, IEF-Werner has developed a wide range of products with sophisticated drive components. From dynamic proceeding with highest precision, through powerful moving, up to our control unit PA-CONTROL - we have thought of everything.
IEF-Werner offers you an economic carefree package: From planning, to construction and motor dimensioning, up to installation and commissioning at your premises. The product spectrum thereby ranges from the pre-finished linear axis up to the complete positioning system.
For each of your tasks we have the necessary competence:

• large selection of perfectly compatible components
• saving of time during planning, construction and procurement
• installation and commissioning service
