Gentech News

Gentech Sensors has been selected to provide Interlocking solution for JCB Backhoe Machine.

The Gentech Sensors, “PSS vane sensor” range offers ready-made solutions to switching and interlock applications in construction equipment, vehicle and industrial applications.

Gentech PSS range sensors are extensively used as handbrake lever switches; stabiliser leg indicators/interlocks switches and swivel seat interlock switches in backhoe and other construction applications.

The PSS vane sensor offers the key advantage of combining the actuating magnet and switch in one single housing, hence eliminating the need for the design engineers to select and match the actuating magnet and the switch assembly.

A simple “ferrous metal shunt”, brought into position between the magnet and switch on the sensor housing, is all that is required to change switch status. A suitably shaped chassis member, or linkage to perform the necessary switching function can conveniently supply this “magnetic shunt”.

Brian Russell of Gentech has been given specific responsibility for distributors throughout the UK and Scandinavia. The position recognises the important input that distributors make in supporting Gentech customers throughout.

With over 13 years working for Gentech there’s not too many technical issues that Brian hasn’t come across. As Gentech’s Sales and Technical Supervisor, Brian is able to provide the best advice and recommendation for a wide range of applications.

“I believe that well informed distributors are able to work more pro-actively with our customers by understanding their application issues and applying solutions. At Gentech we see our role, with distributors, as sharing information to ensure the customer always gets the best service and products to meet their requirements.”

There are currently 10 distributors in the UK and Scandinavia and a further 2 in Germany which benefit from the many enquiries received from users that regularly request information from their local distributor.

Gentech is currently enjoying increased business levels and interest throughout Europe on its entire range of sensors. In particular from the automotive and truck and bus sectors as their design engineers strive to meet the stringent demands of Euro 4 / Euro 5 emission standards.

To make sure we maintain the high levels of support we’re known for, Janice Marriott joins the European Team as European Sales Manager. Janice is no newcomer to Gentech having been UK sales manager for the past four years.

A strong engineering background – Janice was a Rolls Royce technical apprentice and became a quality engineer – and a proactive approach to customer issues allows Janice to work with OEM design engineers to identify the most effective solutions to problems.

A key area for Janice and the Gentech Team is providing support for its extensive European distributor network. “Our distributors are very important to us – they ensure we make Gentech products readily available to all customers and in the volumes required. Continually improving our distributor partnerships will further enhance customer service,” commented Janice.

Gentech's new optical liquid level sensor range offers one of the widest choices available on the market today.

They've been designed to provide cost-effective solutions to applications in most sectors including:

• Automotive
• Medical
• Industrial
• Construction
• Agriculture
• Materials handing
• Vending
• HVAC
• Commercial

The range is designed with OEMs in mind and covers most fitting and environmental requirements. Four main groups cover most requirements from basic commercial and industrial requirements - the Gentech OS-30 series, to specialist automotive sensors with connectors manufactured to AS standards - the Gentech OS-60 series. The Gentech OS-40 series is the ideal product for off-highway and truck applications and the Gentech OS- 50 series is the ideal solution for volume users demanding high reliability and cost-effectiveness.
