What is SST Sensing’s expertise? Do you provide customized services within your own scope? Yes, we provide customized magnetic flap level gauges. SST Sensing Ltd. designs, manufactures, customizes and configures magnetic flap level gauges and switches for gases and liquids, especially for oxygen monitoring, CO2 magnetic flap level gauges and liquid level detection.
Last year, we produced more than 390,000 magnetic flap level gauges in a 1,400m 2 factory in Scotland. The products delivered to customers on time were impressive, reaching 98.5%. We have shipped them globally. As an ISO9001:2015 certified company, our products are designed and manufactured in accordance with strict standards, and some of our magnetic flap level gauges have been approved for aerospace applications.
SST was established in 2002 and has a long history of project-based success. From design to mass production, we have been cooperating with customers. Doing so is very important to maintain a high level of customer service, technical support and established design principles. Our magnetic flap level gauges are used in many different applications in the medical, industrial, pharmaceutical, transportation, marine, aerospace and telecommunications industries. What is needed for a customized magnetic flap level gauge solution? How can customers be sure that they have a magnetic flap level gauge suitable for their application?
First, it works with customers to understand the application, ask the right questions, and jointly develop the specifications of the magnetic flap level gauge. Communication is crucial to this. SST’s understanding of our products, their functions (and their limitations) can help you choose the correct magnetic flap level gauge for the application. SST provides a variety of products that we design and manufacture. These are divided into general sales items and customized solutions. Our background as a design and manufacturing company means that we have the ability to create a custom magnetic flap level gauge prototype for testing within a few days. When will customers come to SST to find custom magnetic flap level gauge technology? Customers often choose SST because of technical or supply chain issues.
A common response we heard was that the customer was using a substitute product that failed on-site, or the other supplier was constantly changing the price, causing the delivery time to fail without seeking technical support. In today’s global economy, this is unacceptable, and this is where customers need something to adapt to their products without any changes. We can use custom to fill that space for them.
Sometimes someone is entering a new company and looking for engineers to communicate with them technically and provide suggestions for implementing their designs. Usually, we find that the task of mechanical engineers is to find solutions in unfamiliar liquid and gas fields. The main solution is to provide our standard products, but the discussion can easily become a new concept of custom magnetic flap level gauge technology.
What process must SST take to ensure that customers get the best customized magnetic flap level gauge for the application? SST has a dedicated team of engineers responsible for the daily management of customized magnetic flap level gauge projects. The customer engineering team is led by technical director Patrick Shannon. As a veteran in the engineering field, he draws on his own experience and understands very well. The secret of success requires a dialogue between engineers and engineers, and has fast turnover and a high degree of flexibility. It is this team that provides the clear communication needed for the transition from concept, design to production. The result is that the customer has obtained the right customized magnetic flap level gauge at the right price, thus shortening the time to market.
The experience collected in the SST of each project will loop back to our NPI (New Product Introduction) process. The review process can keep our roadmap competitive and, where appropriate, allow the introduction of competing products in standard line cards.
Can you give examples of the types of customization available?
The general summary of the customized functions of the gas and liquid magnetic flap level gauges is:
Connectors and cables: We can manufacture customized magnetic flap level gauges with specific terminals. This may be a trademark requirement, or it may be an option to transform it into an existing space or a source of goods. Special output: Many liquid detection magnetic flap level gauges may require special programming to cope with specific application conditions. Their microcontroller means that it can be factory programmed and adjusted to respond to conditions that contain foam or condensate. The time delay can be used to switch the previous confidence. Narrowing the high/low output between the voltage rails will add a certain degree of failure protection behavior to the magnetic flap level gauge.
Some of our oxygen magnetic flap level gauge control panels can have different analog output ranges or specific startup requirements to integrate into existing boiler systems.
Customized housing: We already have a variety of materials to choose from, but sometimes other materials are needed due to the environment in which the magnetic flap level gauge is located.
One of the successful cases of SST zirconia magnetic flap level gauge measuring oxygen in boiler flue gas. The customer requested the use of M18 threaded magnetic flap level gauge, similar to the popular LSU 4.9 Bosch Lambda magnetic flap level gauge. Now, SST’s “screw fit” type housing can easily replace the Lambda magnetic flap level gauge, and allows customers to take advantage of our zirconia technology.
The above content actually covers most of what we classify as simple customization.
Usually, the initial stage will be to see if there are general sales items that can test the applicability of the technology. And responsive technical support to understand its implementation.
What are the customized examples you have recently provided to your customers?
SST soon provided many customers with an alternative solution to replace the outdated Honeywell magnetic flap level gauge.
A new series of SST “alternatives” that directly match Honeywell’s LLE and LLN product numbers has been implemented to save customers’ painful product redesign experience. Not only that, but also using our knowledge of the product, the design of SST electrical design is more robust.
In this case, the customization of quick turnaround becomes crucial, which is where SST’s advantage lies.
One such customer is a food processing company that needs to equip its Honeywell magnetic flap level gauges LLE102000 and LLE103000 with specific cable terminations.
After confirming the detailed information of the application, it is obvious that they have successfully used the Honeywell magnetic flap level gauge in an unconventional way.
Since the original magnetic flap level gauge uses an old design, the LED is always on and consumes more power in most cases. The subsequent design of this technology changed the operating mode of the magnetic flap level gauge to consume less power and be able to operate in an environment with a high condensation level. Another part of their application requires the magnetic flap level gauge to work in high-fat milk, which is a large amount of solid fat suspended in a liquid. Problems can also be encountered when creating magnetic flap level gauges that require opposing reflective surfaces.
Usually, a simple customization of the SST software can solve any of these problems, but the customer wants to use a magnetic flap level gauge for these two applications. The solution is to provide software and hardware customization for the SST magnetic flap level gauge. The specification of samples, technical support and clear communication between the two parties are successful cases.
