Current transducers maintain accuracy
A new series of DC current transducers provides tighter accuracy to 1.0% full-scale for more stable operation over a wide temperature range from -40 to +85C.
Current transducers handle speedy waveforms
A new series of bidirectional current transducers is capable of accurately following extremely fast (DC and/or AC) current waveforms.
The ISO9000:2000 certification is recognised as one of the premier standards for quality management in several different industries.
The company received accreditation in December 2004, following a successful surveillance audit by its chosen registrar, Perry Johnson Registrars Ruth Roberts Gitlin, President of AAC noted: "We place significant emphasis on providing our customers with high quality transducers, and achieving these newest ISO certifications puts us in an elite group of qualified suppliers".
"In fact, most of the major aircraft engine manufacturers are already requiring registration to AS9100".
The ISO9000:2000 standard has become an international reference for quality management requirements in business-to-business dealings.
It focuses on the customer's quality requirements and applicable regulatory requirements, while aiming to enhance customer satisfaction, and achieve continual improvement of a company's performance in pursuit of these objectives.
The AS9100 standard was developed by a committee of procurement, purchasing, and quality executives from major US aerospace manufacturers as a way to reduce defects in the supplier chain; continually improve quality; boost customer satisfaction; and considerably reduce the number of hours spent on audits, requirements and documentation.
Aerospace industry suppliers and subcontractors now need to comply with a single aerospace standard that is accepted throughout the industry.
