New rugged electro-optic level sensor from Gems
Gems Sensors and Controls has launched a new miniature, low cost Electro-Optic liquid level sensor, the ELS-950, a solid state unit for OEM use in demanding or high temperature applications
PreDyne valves and manifold assemblies will continue to be manufactured at its Connecticut, USA facility, and Precision Dynamics sales and engineering staff will join Gems to support the product line.
With Gems current leadership position in level, flow and pressure sensors, the acquisition gives OEMs a major new source for custom miniature solenoid valves.
This new option brings together 30 years of valve experience and the depth of Gems product development and manufacturing process.
OEMs can now select one company with extensive design and manufacturing capabilities to build complete custom gas and liquid handling systems.
"More and more our OEM customers and the marketplace are asking for custom pre-assembled solutions that integrate sensors and other components of a fluidic system such as valves and manifold assemblies" said Evan Berns, Vice President, Gems Sensors and Controls.
"Before the acquisition, both Gems and PreDyne customers had to go through numerous vendors, quality inspections, testing, and even design changes, which put sensitive lead times and cost control at risk.
The combination of Gems and PreDyne allows us to fulfill our customers needs with complete pre-assembled and tested fluidic systems, designed specifically to their application requirements".
Mr Berns continued, "The merger is a natural fit.
Both companies similarly meet OEM needs by providing, innovative tailor-made solutions driven by years of application experience and knowledge, and the personal attention that assures the critical requirements for each customer are completely and accurately understood.
Our combined manufacturing facilities and lean methodologies will reduce lead times and deliver cost effective, made-to-order systems for OEMs around the world exactly when they are needed".
