Exergen's IRt/c's are used in a variety of applications from measuring a flywheel in space to measuring tire temperature on the ground. The microIRt/c, which is the world's smallest infrared temperature sensor, allows for mounting in places that no IR device has gone before, at ¼ in. diameter and 1 in. long.

QuadTech's Meridian Wire and Harness Analyzer incorporates many advanced features that benefit the aerospace industry, including the Kelvin Method for resistance testing.

This method is extremely useful for high-accuracy resistance measurements, especially for products with sensitive components.

Download "Improving Resistance Measurements" to learn more about the advantages of the Kelvin Method.

The TP-L Series is a compact Infrared Thermo Imaging/RadiometricCamera, utilizing a low-cost, high-sensitivity, thermopile array detector.

This CHINO developed detector allows the camera to measure real time temperature (Radiometric Operation) and provide zone alarms. Ethernet connectivity allows the camera to communicate with a PC running CHINO Imaging Software or customer's LAN network.

The new PXI ARINC 608A switching solutions provide more compact and cost-effective implementations than alternative approaches, and provides simpler software control. The 40-569 is a BRIC module that integrates the Resource Distributor and Bus Matrix inputs and the 40-618 provides the general purpose SPST switches and four channel multiplexers.

Celebrating our 90^th year, our company has produced quality products for all major leading aerospace companies. If your specifications fit our capabilities, we'll produce it. We're known in the industry for our round washers and shims. We have expanded our line to specialty flat stampings. No tooling charge ever.

Eccospheres® hollow glass microspheres are providing the basis for lightweight, strong, thermally insulating materials for aerospace. NASA, Boeing, Airbus, and others use Eccospheres in adhesives, core materials thermal barriers, and ablatives. Whether you are looking to reduce density, add functionality (speciaty coatings, carbon microspheres) TEC has solutions for your applications.

Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) allows Rapid PSI customers to "grow" aerospace plastic parts that meet all FR requirements. Complex multi-piece assemblies can be combined into one unit — reducing lead times, cost, and paperwork. Virtually eliminate tooling and make engineering changes immediately with DDM!
