Minco has been building sensors for over 60 years, and we have a reputation for providing solutions that are accurate and absolutely reliable. Often times these sensors are quite large, like the stator sticks that monitor the coil windings of a power station generator, sometimes reaching twenty feet in length.
As humans we’re kind of picky about temperature, so we use thermostats to control the heaters and air conditioners that maintain our relatively narrow comfort range. Similarly, many chemical, biological, electrical, and mechanical processes work best at specific temperatures and use sensors to help maintain those temperatures. In some applications, medical and aerospace in particular, maintaining a specific temperature is so critical to life and safety that redundant sensors are used to ensure reliability.
In most heating applications, the heating itself would be pointless without some kind of control. Typically, that process entails a controller and a sensor connected to the heater to create a feedback loop.
Measuring the temperature of fluid flowing through a pipe can be critical in a variety of applications. But deploying the necessary sensors can be a challenge. There are several ways to get a sensor into the pipe, but those can be costly and complex, especially if they involve retrofitting an existing system.
In the heavily regulated medical field with lives at stake, device development is always challenging. Medical devices can operate in laboratory settings or inside the human body; they serve in applications from diagnostics to imaging to surgery.
For more than 60 years, Minco has designed and manufactured heating, flex circuit, temperature sensing and instrumentation solutions for some of the world’s most demanding applications.
