About us
Thomas Wahl Automatisierungstechnik is a company founded in 1992 in Spraitbach, Baden-Württemberg, specializing in control technology and automation for presses, stamping and peripheral equipment. The focus is equipping new and used machines with powerful control technology – from software and hardware design through control system construction and electrical assembly to commissioning. In the field of automation technology, the company develops control solutions for coil lines, transfer and handling systems, feed and stacking systems as well as tasks from special machinery engineering, with a focus on Siemens products. Another pillar is the press retrofit: upgrading to PLC controls, replacing outdated assemblies and electric motors, and the use of frequency converters to increase efficiency. In addition, the company offers service and maintenance including remote maintenance, statutory accident prevention (UVV) inspections, press force measuring systems, safety inspections of light curtains and measurements according to VDE and BGV A2. After conversions, the company carries out hazard analyses with validation procedures including conformity with the EC Machinery Directive.
