About Avtron
|
Avtron
is a Cleveland, Ohio based technology leader in providing automatic test
equipment, automation systems, and products to industries ranging from
aviation to paper mills. Avtron specializes in product development and
long term support. Our reputation is that of a State of the Art designer
and manufacturer who goes to nearly any length to ensure the customer
receives the value expected of us.
Financially secure and growing, Avtron has been in business continuously
since 1953, and currently occupies a leadership role in those customer
areas it services.
|
| Customers and Products |
Avtron's customers include 95% of the "Fortune 500" as well
as nearly every major airline in the world. Generally,
products/customers can be considered in four categories:
- Digital speed and length measurement and control products,
including encoders, tachometers or tachs, rotary pulse generators.
- Adjustable Speed Drives and Digital Drive Systems.
- Load Banks for testing commercial
generators and Industrial Power Resistors.
- Systems for testing aircraft components and
systems. These are often complex computer coordinated systems
for testing airborne electrical, fuel, and hydraulic components and
systems. These systems are installed by Avtron all over the world.

The diversity of technologies within Avtron creates high levels of
enthusiasm, growth, and responsibility among engineers. As the head of
electrical engineering at Cleveland State University once said upon
touring Avtron's facilities, "My graduates can see more
technologies under one roof in your building than any other company that
recruits in Cleveland." It is not uncommon for engineers to be promoted and transferred to
projects involving other product areas, and Avtron's engineering
management attempts to ensure a high degree of synergy. For example,
many reasons why Avtron's digital drive systems are reliable can be
traced to money spent by both the government and aircraft manufacturers
to determine how to make flying electronics reliable.
|
| Personnel and Technical Staff |
| Over one third of Avtron's staff are technical personnel with
four-year degrees or higher. The majority have backgrounds in electrical
and mechanical engineering, electronics or computers. Their expertise
includes electrical rotating machinery, power and hydraulics. Many
Avtron product design engineers come from Avtron's Field Engineering
Department, which provides excellent background in understanding
customer needs. Others are hired directly from colleges and
universities. |
| Field Engineering and Quality Control Capability |
| At Avtron, the head of quality control reports to the
CEO, not
to the manufacturing manager. This ensures that pressures to meet
shipments do not override the organization's quality control principles,
despite the tendency to do so "just this once." Quality has
long been the highest priority of our company. Avtron's quality system
is certified to ISO 9001 requirements.
Avtron has approximately 30 degreed field service engineers. On major
systems, the same service engineers who will start-up the system in the
field are charged with final testing at Avtron, developing a unique
degree of familiarity.
Since Avtron systems, whether aircraft
test systems or drive control systems, often involve high-tech
components installed at remote customer sites, where customer
maintenance personnel may not be as familiar with the equipment as
Avtron personnel, Avtron has developed methods to improve reliability
and ease of maintenance. In general, the most complex Avtron system can
be maintained on an emergency basis by an electrician with a telephone.
