BEI Kimco Magnetics Announces New Stocking Program for Faster Voice Coil Actuator Delivery and Improved Design Process Management


VISTA, Calif., − BEI Kimco Magnetics, a brand of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), announced today the Voice Coil Actuator (VCA) Stock Program. Designed to reduce lead time, the new stock program offers customers express VCA delivery.

"The new program identifies the most frequently used products and defines the safety stock quantity for each model," explains Gareth Yiu, Product Marketing Specialist. "The ultimate goal is to provide customers with the confidence that the product they need is in stock and can be processed within hours of order entry."

Engineers can now have the product in hand for prototyping, beta testing, and pilot production without waiting the standard 12-week production time. Delivery can be shortened by up to 80%.
