We have forged the company around the philosophy of controlling the entire design and manufacturing process; from sensor engineering, electronics development, component machining, to final assembly and testing. Our engineers use the latest tools for design, analysis and documentation. Our machining capabilities include five-axis milling and eight-axis turning. Our electronics development capabilities include circuit design and analysis, PCB development and layout, and firmware/software development. In manufacturing, we are certified to the highest level of space grade soldering, qualified in TIG and laser welding, certified in configuration control practices, cleanliness practices, and traceability control. Our total quality system is registered as an ISO9001 quality system with supplemental quality requirements added for specific customers’ needs. Our service department is designed to repair and calibrate both Stellar Technology products and like products from other companies. We believe we are the only sensor manufacturer in the United States with a dedicated field service technician responsible for same day on-site customer assistance.
The Stellar Technology high-mix/lower volume business model is tailored to provide both a broad offering of standard products and uniquely engineered custom solutions.
