MTS Systems Launches New Sensors Division Website


CARY, N.C. (February 15, 2007) - MTS Systems Corp., Sensors Division has unveiled the first phase of its world-wide website redesign, which features a common layout and functionality across all regional Sensors Division websites. The site adds secure value-added information access for customers, including a product generator.

MTS Sensors Division's new website design creates a global look and feel with the use of top and left-hand navigation menus, which make the site easy to use while retaining quick access to information and downloads. Content is customized for each region, maintaining the local business culture of each major geographical region.

The new MTS Sensors website also provides customers with value-added information access through a secure site that features a new online product generator. The new tool is powered by 3D PartStream.NET® from SolidWorks Corporation and enables customers to access an interactive online 3D part catalog. With the product generator, customers can build a product, view it, then download 2D or 3D computer-aided design (CAD) drawings of the product in virtually any format currently used by CAD systems worldwide. The product generator also provides a part number and allows the customer to directly request a quote with the click of a button. The first products available for the generator are the Temposonics Model R-Series linear-position sensors; remaining product lines will be added throughout the next few months.

"The new website design reinforces our worldwide capabilities for product design and development, sales and technical support, and manufacturing, helping us build and solidify the MTS brand globally," said Drew Smedley, Director of Global Marketing for MTS Sensors. "Creating the secure portion of the website helps us deliver new value-added services for our customers and provide them access to a greater range of support material."

The first phase of the launch includes the Americas, Europe (available in German and English), and Asia (Japanese) regional sites. Italian, Spanish and Chinese language translations will follow in the coming months.
