From the Sector

Montalvo, an international specialist in Web Tension Control and Web Handling, publishes an article educating users on how to troubleshoot and test Load Cells. Load Cells play an integral role in measuring the Web Tension throughout the process, and as such, they must be accurate and function properly at all times. Furthermore, they are required to perform in every environment, which, at times, can present numerous challenges to their functionality, and thus knowing how to troubleshoot Loads Cells could shorten machine downtime. In this brief article, Montalvo explains why Load Cells fail and provides four ways to troubleshoot, diagnose and solve any missed performance features.  
 
Doug Brockelbank, Director of Technical Sales and Service, says, “Providing high-quality products is one thing; but providing technical support 5, 10, and even 20 years after the products were installed is entirely different. Montalvo’s technical support and services are one of our known key differentiators in the market, and we pride ourselves on it. Our Load Cells are designed to work in the roughest environments without any difficulties. But as rare as it is, Load Cells can start to miss perform, and in this case, our customers know that Montalvo is here for them. The goal of our internal sales support and technical services team is to provide our customers with the support they require, whether that be videos, technical articles, or in-person or over-the-phone support.

Montalvo has promoted Bryon Williams to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Having previously served as Montalvo’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mr. Williams will continue to develop, expand, and execute Montalvo’s short-term and long-term growth strategies expanding into new markets, developing Montalvo’s product line, strengthening Montalvo’s international presence, and growing Montalvo’s market.  

Mr. Williams says “It has been such an honor working at this company over the past 11 years, and I only see greater success for the company as Montalvo has one of the strongest teams in its history, with a focus on innovation and achieving our vision of becoming the global leader in Web Control Systems and solutions. We are expanding our reach into new industries and will be coming out with new products and solutions that reset expectations on Web Control, while at the same time branching out to offer customers complete solutions for their Web Handling needs through in-house capabilities and a strong partner network. We continue to provide one of the highest levels of application, product, and process knowledge, and are constantly recognized by our customers for providing levels of support and service that others simply can’t.”
