Webtec Helps Engineers Keep Hydraulics Performing at Their Best Keeping hydraulic machinery operating efficiently has never been more important. As equipment becomes increasingly sophisticated, engineers need accurate diagnostic tools that can quickly identify faults, reduce downtime and improve machine performance. For more than 60 years, Webtec has been helping customers achieve just that. Headquartered in St Ives, UK, with regional offices in Germany and North America and supported by a global network of specialist distributors and service centres, Webtec designs and manufactures hydraulic measurement and control products for mobile, industrial and agricultural machinery. Its solutions are used by OEMs, maintenance engineers and service technicians worldwide to improve reliability, optimise performance and extend the life of hydraulic equipment. Today, effective hydraulic maintenance extends well beyond repairing machines after they fail. Webtec’s products support every stage of the maintenance cycle, from reactive fault-finding and routine preventive servicing to predictive condition monitoring and customised product design. By providing accurate measurement of flow, pressure and temperature, engineers can make informed decisions based on real operating data. One of the company’s latest innovations is its third-generation Digital Hydraulic Multimeter (DHM), a portable instrument that combines flow, pressure and temperature measurement in a single rugged unit. Designed for workshop and field use, the DHM enables engineers to carry out comprehensive hydraulic performance testing quickly and safely, helping to reduce diagnostic time while improving confidence in maintenance decisions. A key feature of the latest DHM is its integration with the Webtec QuickCert®+ App for iPhone® and Android™ devices. Using Bluetooth connectivity, engineers can monitor live test data remotely from different positions Webtec Products Limited Nuffield Road, St Ives, Cambridgeshire PE27 3LZ tel: 01480 397444 e-mail: sales-uk@webtec.com website: www.webtec.com Contact loggers. To support customers throughout the product lifecycle, Webtec also offers comprehensive repair and calibration services from its dedicated World-wide service centres. Recognising that every hydraulic application is different, the company also offers its Make it Blue® customisation programme. Rather than providing costly consultancy, this structured four-step process brings together the expertise of the company’s sales, engineering and manufacturing teams to tailor products to specific customer requirements. The result is a practical, collaborative approach that helps maximise machine performance while reducing development time and complexity. Webtec is committed to developing engineering skills through apprenticeships, industry partnerships and educational initiatives, including sponsorship of the Arkwright Scholarship Trust. Its co-authored guide, by industry experts Steve Skinner and Webtec’s Managing Director Martin Cuthbert, ‘An Introduction to Practical Hydraulic System Maintenance’, supports technicians entering the fluid power industry. Webtec also provides a free online education hub featuring webinars, training videos, whitepapers, technical guides and fault-finding resources at www.webtec.com www.webtec.com Company Profile around a machine, making it easier to observe equipment safely while tests are underway. Another significant development is Webtec’s TrueFlow® technology, which provides clear digital indication of hydraulic flow direction. In many hydraulic circuits, particularly those using reversing motors or hydrostatic transmissions, understanding flow direction is just as important as measuring flow rate. TrueFlow® removes the uncertainty associated with traditional measurement techniques, enabling technicians to diagnose problems faster and with greater accuracy. Safety also remains central to Webtec’s design philosophy. The DHM incorporates the company’s integrated loading valve, allowing smooth and progressive pressure loading in either direction. Its Interpass® safety protection system uses replaceable burst discs that automatically relieve flow to the return line if maximum pressure is exceeded, protecting both the equipment and the operator during testing. Alongside its diagnostic equipment, Webtec manufactures an extensive range of hydraulic control valves for mobile and industrial applications. These include pressurecompensated flow control valves and zero-leak rotary shear directional valves providing reliable control solutions across a wide variety of hydraulic systems. The company’s measurement portfolio extends well beyond portable testers, encompassing digital and analogue hydraulic testers, turbine and positive displacement flow meters, pressure gauges and transducers, tachometers and portable or industrial data
