Williams Controls exhibiting at BAUMA 2013 Germany
Portland, Oregon, US – Following the announcement of its recent merger with Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s motion control segment, Williams Controls – a leading designer and manufacturer of sensors and electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic throttle controls for commercial vehicles, off-road equipment and military vehicles - will be partnering fellow Curtiss-Wright Controls Industrial (CWCI) group companies Penny + Giles Controls and PG Drives Technology at this year’s BAUMA show in Munich.
Commenting on the recent merger, Curtiss-Wright Controls Senior Vice President Kevin Rayment says that by combining its global leadership in electronic throttle controls with Curtiss-Wright's Controls segment, the business can more quickly achieve its strategic vision to expand its range of pedal systems, sensors and joysticks to become a solutions supplier to its customers in the commercial truck and off-road markets.
The latest Williams Controls products will be on show, including those from the company’s foot controls, sensors and hand controls ranges. In addition, products from all three CWCI division businesses will be on show together for the first time, split between stands 121A and 234 in Hall A3. They include position sensors, joystick and throttle controllers, solenoid actuators and programmable controllers for electric-powered vehicles. CWCI products are suitable for a wide range of specialty vehicle applications including agricultural vehicles, heavy trucks and buses, powered access platforms, backhoe excavators, airport fire and rescue vehicles, pallet trucks and floor care machines.
The Williams Controls range of electronic throttle controls on display will feature floor-mounted, suspended and rocker pedal versions. These controls are manufactured from die-cast aluminium or plastic and can be factory configured with numerous options.
Options include contacting potentiometer tracks or non-contact Hall-effect rotary sensors; kick-down and hysteresis modules; heel springs and force increase blocks; and a choice of degree variations or angles for the base plates and pedals.
The company’s hand controls include joystick controllers, remote sensors, levers and rotary controls. Features for the company’s self-centring joysticks include IP67 protection for the electronics, 12 to 24Vdc supply, J1939 CANbus output protocol and 12bit Hall-effect sensors. They are also fully-customisable with over 50 potential variations including an ergonomic right/left handle grip orientation and configurable buttons and thumbwheels.
Also on the stand will be Williams Controls’ non-contact Hall-effect and contacting potentiometer sensors, both of which are IP66 rated and configurable depending on the application.
