Sensor specialist joins the UK-based team of Charcroft field engineers
C
harcroft Electronics, a specialist distributor and manufacturer of electronic components, has appointed sensor specialist Matt Fellows to expand the range of skills offered by the UK-based team of field engineers.
Fellows will deliver design solutions for customers using sensors, load cells and strain gauges for force measurement in industrial, aerospace, defence, oil and gas, process manufacturing, and off-road transport applications.
The sensors, load cells and strain gauges are used to measure pressure, force, position, current and voltage, as well as temperature, speed, liquid level, liquid flow, weight and tilt or incline. Manufactured by leading names on the franchised linecard, there are standard and custom sensors from BEI Sensors at Sensata, BI Technologies from TT Electronics, The Fredericks Company and VPG Force Sensors.
Based in the East Midlands, Fellows spent nine years in the Royal Navy as
an aircraft engineering technician, gaining experience in hands-on technical roles, before taking on the role of test engineer, and then applications engineer.
A passion for helping customers to achieve individual solutions led Fellows to a role in sales, with a focus on sensors, load cells and force management. “I have seen the issues which can affect sensor-based systems, and this is vital for finding a solution for each design,” he said. “Years of experience as an engineer have
VIAVI expands SecurePNT portfolio with edge grandmaster clock
V
IAVI has launched EdgeGM 7000, a highly resilient edge grandmaster clock, building on the SecurePNT portfolio.
EdgeGM 7000 offers up to 25G Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and multi-orbit SecureTime altGNSS for the most comprehensive assurance of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services used in critical infrastructure operations worldwide. Essential networks throughout the world – including 5G/6G telecommunications, AI hyperscale data centres, defence, public safety, transportation, aviation, energy
and finance – rely on publicly available GPS and GNSS signals for efficient data synchronization based on timing and location. These vulnerable and single- source signals are occasionally unavailable or at risk of being jammed or spoofed, or satellites themselves can be attacked, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Governments around the world have begun mandating that critical infrastructure providers improve resilience of their networks through more responsible use of PNT services.
According to VIAVI, SecurePNT and
given me a deep understanding of how sensors react in tough applications and how selection and design can help customers to avoid these issues.”
