PSIF continues to play an active role in supporting spaceport complexes and related defense operations, delivering reliable motion control solutions tailored to the high standards of military and aerospace applications.
The mobile machinery market includes vehicles and equipment on wheels or tracks, designed for both on-road and off-road use. PSIF supports a wide range of customers in this space, from small startups to large-scale OEMs. We provide everything from full system design and integration to individual component specification.
Our experience spans a variety of applications, including off-road tracked drill rigs, mobile conveyor systems, and on-road emergency response vehicles. In many cases, we have helped customers enhance performance, improve reliability, and simplify design through collaborative engineering support. This market also includes several of our agricultural clients, particularly those developing specialized harvesting vehicles.
PSIF’s ability to adapt to diverse machine types and customer needs makes us a valuable partner in mobile equipment design and motion control solutions.
The packaging industry is typically served through the supply of carefully selected components that meet a wide range of pneumatic, electrical, and safety requirements. PSIF supports this sector by providing both low and high flow pneumatic valves, air preparation units, and safety valves tailored to meet machine-specific demands.
Our expertise also extends to safety system integration. Working in coordination with TUV-certified guidance and Ross Controls, PSIF helps customers design systems that enhance safety and meet industry compliance standards.
In addition to pneumatic solutions, we offer a broad range of electrical and electro-mechanical components. Temposonics linear position sensors are commonly used in this sector for high-accuracy motion control. We also supply closed-loop motion control solutions, such as Delta RMC products, to help ensure precision and repeatability in packaging machine operations.
PSIF supports the process industry through a range of specialized products from trusted manufacturers including Burkert, Haskel, Butech, and Noshok. Our offerings are well-suited for applications involving gas, air, and fluid intensification, enabling the practical use of compressed air and other drive media in high-pressure environments.
Gas intensification skids are used across a variety of markets where elevated process pressures are required. These include plastic injection molding, space ground support, medical, and bulk gas handling. In such systems, Butech products such as valves, fittings, and connectors can be essential for safe and reliable operation.
Burkert is a leading provider of valves that address diverse requirements for air, water, gas, and specialized fluid applications not typically encountered in standard applications. Burkert offers comprehensive automation systems for closed-loop control of pressure, flow, temperature, and other process parameters.
The metals market for PSIF encompasses recyclers, primary metals producers, and extruders. The aluminum extrusion industry serves as an example of a sub-market within this sector that heavily relies on hydraulic systems and controls. PSIF has a long history of working with customers in this market, supplying components and retrofitting systems for upgrades and improvements.
Steel producers, as well as those involved in rolling and plate production, are primary users in this market.
