About ASC GmbH
Advanced Sensors Calibration
Supplying the “sensory organs” for our high-tech world
ASC is a leading manufacturer of high-quality accelerometers. Sensors of that type are the
"sensory organs of the modern high-tech world", and have numerous applications: they are used to measure the
vibrations on buildings and machines, to help predict earthquakes, to prevent hard disks from sustaining head crashes, and are used in the sensor mechanism of digital cameras. In addition to that, the sensors are
used by the development departments of the automobile industry to test vehicles, and in crash tests, as well as in motor sport racing.
Quality made in Germany
In addition to being a specialist for
the production of custom-made accelerometers, ASC also sells customer-specific cable processing and connector solutions, as well as individual complete solutions. At ASC, based in Ingolstadt, Germany, producing high
quality products and being close to the customer are of critical importance: ASC produces its products directly at its Ingolstadt facility, and provides customer-specific solutions and quick delivery times, even for
small production quantities. ASC only uses high-quality, innovative sensor elements of renowned European and American manufacturers in its sensors. For the German auto industry, both of those aspects are of decisive
importance, and provide a competitive advantage for ASC's customers.
ASC specializes in small series production that are then used in the development departments at companies. For that reason, the sensors are
remarkably compact and very robust and shock-resistant, in addition to being extremely heat resistant. As a result of those properties, the sensors are very flexible in their applications, and can be used in many
different areas, from the automobile industry, to agriculture, aviation and aerospace, and in geophysical applications. The company constantly works on new technologies in order to cost-effectively build even
smaller products in future, and to be able to always improve in meeting customer requirements.
Renowned customers, throughout the world
Renowned companies from diverse industries value ASC's high
quality-products and customized solutions. Automobile manufacturers including BMW, Audi, Daimler, Porsche, MAN, Temsa and Shanghai Volkswagen value ASC's sensors. The sensors are also used in tractors and other
agricultural machines. ASC's customers in the tractor and agricultural sector include: Fendt, CASE, New Holland, and Alois Poettinger. ASC sensors are also used in geophysical applications, for measuring ground and
building vibrations, and in deep drilling.
Comprehensive service package
ASC offers not only a broad range of products that can be customized for specific customer requirements, but also provides
comprehensive service for maintaining the sensors: maintenance, repairs, and calibrations of ASC products, but also for products made by other companies. The company thus is able to provide comprehensive customer
service and advice that extends beyond the purchase and implementation of its sensors.
Strong partners worldwide
Customers from numerous industries value not only ASC's comprehensive service
package, but also ASC's network of sales and distribution partners, which is constantly being expanded. At present, ASC is working with partners in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Turkey; Japan and France will soon
be added to the list.
ASC is also the exclusive distributor of Honeywell accelerometers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Those sensors are used by EADS (the European Aeronautical Defense and Space
Company) in helicopter tests, and in its satellites.
Know-how and Tradition combined
Peter Bay is the chief executive officer at the company, and has over 20 years of experience in vibration and
oscillation measurement technologies. He was also the owner of MWS Sensorik, a sensor company. In January 2008, Bay became chief executive officer at ASC after working as a product manager at ASC. Thanks to the
contacts that he brings with, and ASC's first-rate products, ASC is already the worldwide leading manufacturer of high-quality, customer-specific sensors, and is the first place that leading companies in numerous
industries turn to, when they need sensors.
Portfolio
ASC produces two types of accelerometers: one comprises capacitive accelerometers with a strengthened output signal, which allow extremely small
vibration measurement ranges to be read. The other type consists of piezoresistive sensors, which do not have signal amplification, but rather have a bridge output signal and are used almost exclusively in crash
tests. ASC continuously meets the requirements of customers with its solutions, and uses high-quality materials to adapt the sensors to the requirements of individual cases and individual uses. ASC not only provides
customer-specific cable processing and connector solutions, but can also provide customers with complete solutions. In addition, ASC offers its customers a comprehensive service package that extends from sensor
calibration to the maintenance and repair of ASC accelerometers, and even includes sensors made by other companies.
