Advanced Photonix, Inc.® API -1.02% today announced that it has signed a value-added reseller (VAR) for its T-Gauge® industrial terahertz gauging system with Automation and Control Technology, Inc. (ACT).
The T-Gauge® measurement system builds on the company’s long history of terahertz products dating back over 10 years with the introduction of the world’s first commercial terahertz system. This new system is ruggedized for deployment on the manufacturing floor for quality assurance and process control. The technology is very adaptable to different sensor configurations, including robotic controls, to support many different applications. The resulting innovative gauge will help manufacturers to improve quality and reduce costs.
Charles Totel, President and CEO of ACT stated, “The terahertz technology is the next generation of sophisticated measurement sensors that are destined to eventually displace many nucleonic and x-ray sensor applications. This next generation of safe sensors are capable of measuring multiple layer products and providing high precision measurements for each layer of a product. ACT is excited about the opportunity to provide this new technology to our valued customers.” David Pond, EVP & COO of ACT noted, “ACT delivers complete industrial gauging solutions (measurement, control and data management) which now include API’s revolutionary T-Gauge® sensor technology. We are proud to be the first VAR in the world to have integrated and placed into production a terahertz sensor in an industrial multi-layer web based process application.”
Rob Risser, COO of API commented, “We are pleased to welcome ACT to our growing VAR partner network. Manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to reduce cost and improve quality. The industry expertise, application development, and established sales channels capability of our VARs, like ACT, will enable us to more rapidly deliver the improved quality and cost reduction capabilities of terahertz technology to the factory floor in a shorter time horizon.”
Both companies are exhibiting at The International Plastics Showcase, NPE, the largest plastics exposition in the Western Hemisphere, in Orlando, Florida from April 1-5, 2012. Each company has their full line of products on display, Picometrix in booth #32055 and ACT in booth #33066.
