PTC Electronics Inc is a privately owned, New Jersey corporation, which was
incorporated in 1978 as Pneumatic Technology Company Inc. With the change to
electronic pressure measurement, we changed the name to PTC Electronics Inc,
in 1984.
At that time, the predominant products were digital pressure gages for test,
production and calibration. In addition to the PTC products, other products in
closely affiliated fields which we have taken on for representation in the NY
Metro area are high-precision pressure calibrators from the Mensor Corporation
and pressure sensors from AST.
In 1986, we became the North American agent for SCAIME SA, a high quality load
cell and force transducer manufacturer located in Annemasse, France, close to
Geneva, Switzerland. The SCAIME facilities are purpose built for load cell manufacture
with state-of-the-art equipment, especially aimed at high volume production of
high quality instruments.
SCAIME is the only manufacturer, world wide, who manufacturers instruments under
surveillance of the provincial (state equivalent) weights and measures jurisdiction.
Monthly evaluation of in-process manufacture is performed. Non-conformance means
drastic penalties such as shut down of the line until corrective measures are
implemented. SCAIME is ISO 9002 certified.
In 1997, we formed an association with American Sensor Technologies to develop
and market high performance industrial pressure transducers, aimed predominantly
at High Volume OEMs with an emphasis on price below $100 each in volume.
We have achieved this goal, and can now offer the AST series of instruments.
This series of instruments is stocked in our warehouse in New Jersey, for immediate
shipment of quantities of up to 50 units typically of any type, subject to prior
sale. For large volume orders, scheduled deliveries are negotiated for JIT or
whatever the customer requires. The USA stock gives a very useful "buffer" source
for unanticipated requirements, providing the standard configuration is acceptable.
Development is continuing on several types of sensors, using novel sensing methods.
These approaches are designed to yield industrial grade, OEM sensors, below $50
each in quantity.
