Custom Sensor Solutions From Stellar Technology
What We Do For Our Customers
“Custom Transducers, Custom Load Cells, or Custom Products” can have many meanings;
- Customizing or modifying an existing standard transducer, force sensor, load cell, LVDT, or temperature transmitter
- An purpose-built or application specific product requiring special features
- A new product made from exiting standard subassemblies and parts
- A one-of-a-kind & one-time design
- A customer proprietary sensor solution that requires NDA’s between Stellar Technology and the customer
- A first-time design requiring close interaction between the customer’s engineers and Stellar Technology’s design engineers
Stellar Technology takes pride in providing customers with this broad range of “special” possibilities, including custom pressure transducers and custom load cells. The business model uses a “ low-volume/high-mix” strategy that resources are made to support. Stellar Technology is more than willing to provide special sensor solutions.
The definitions above comprise “custom engineered special products”. Each of them need varying degrees of manufacturing capability and engineering design expertise. Which we fulfill for our customers.
How We Help Our Customers Succeed
Stellar Technology’s ability to provide “Custom Engineered Special” pressure transducers, load cells, force sensors, temperature transmitters, and LVDTs can be defined with one word: “Capabilities”. This is HOW we execute our high-mix/low volume strategy. It takes experience, know-how, commitment, and well-structured resources to provide customers with such a high percentage of engineered to order special products. By forging our sales, engineering, manufacturing, quality, and administrative capabilities into a flexible and responsive enterprise, we provide our customers with a unique capability in providing special sensor solutions.
