Original Press Release:
MTI Instruments Introduces a Strategic New Product
- The First System that Combines Precision Non-Contact Measurement Technology with Complete Data Acquisition and Analysis -
ALBANY, N.Y., June 18 -- MTI Instruments, Inc. (MTII) of Albany, NY, a worldwide leader in precision measurement solutions, and a subsidiary of Mechanical Technology Incorporated (MTI) (NASDAQ:MKTY), announced the launch of their newest, data acquisition system branded as EVE.
EVE is designed to help users solve complex measurement problems by providing precision non-contact measurement, advanced data acquisition, data analysis, touch screen user interface, and intuitive operation. EVE is 100% compatible, out-of-the-box, with virtually all sensors from other manufacturers along with the entire line of MTII's precision non-contact displacement sensors providing a complete solution to customers.
"EVE is the culmination of research with end users, system integrators and distributors and representatives in our sales channel," said Gordon Reid, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing. "Our product development research indicated a strong desire for requirements including flexibility, processing speed, analysis capabilities, and ease of use. Today, I am happy to announce that we have exceeded these requirements with the introduction of EVE."
EVE is able to accept data from multiple analog and/or digital channels allowing numerous variables to be measured and correlated in real-time. The data can be stored internally, on USB memory sticks or transmitted via Ethernet to any IP address on a particular network.
Eve utilizes a powerful concept called the "recipe." Designed for ease of use and interpretation of results, the user can configure the system based on their needs and save the recipe for future use. The recipe guarantees exact replication of tests and dramatically reduces set-up time. Specific knowledge of software is not required as EVE's user interface guides the operator through set-up and use.
"We believe EVE is the first system that incorporates precision non- contact dimensional measurement technology within a complete and scalable data acquisition system," said Robert Kot, Vice President and General Manager of MTII. "EVE represents our strategic approach in bringing system level products to market providing our customers with cost effective, turnkey solutions. In addition, EVE should allow us to sell more of our existing products including sensors."
MTI Instruments is now accepting orders for EVE and will commence shipment to customers in the fourth quarter of this year.
