Pacer adds Leister to Portfolio

Pacer has signed an agreement with Swiss company Leister Process Technologies to distribute their Axetris range of rugged infrared sources for advanced gas sensing applications in the mid-IR range.

Axetris IR sources are ideally suited for compact IR gas detection modules where a high emissivity, high reliability and low power consumption are key requirements. Axetris IR sources are micro-machined, electrically modulated thermal infrared emitters featuring true black body radiation characteristics, low power consumption, high emissivity and a long lifetime. The patented design is based on a resistive heating element integrated onto a thin dielectric membrane which is suspended on a micro-machined silicon structure. All products are manufactured at Axetris’ state-of-the-art micro-technology clean room facilities in central Switzerland.

Axetris is a leading provider of components and modules for gas sensing, gas flow and gas control, powered by Axetris’ proprietary platinum based Pt-microchip technology. The product range includes ultra-compact, high-accuracy and fast response mass-flow meters and controllers, rugged infrared light sources for advanced gas sensing applications in mid-IR and high-selectivity laser gas detectors based on tuneable diode laser spectrometry.

With broad and in-depth application know-how, Axetris supports its customers in many industries. Customers benefit from excellent product value, consistent high product quality and outstanding customer support. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) rely for customer specific solutions on Axetris as a competent partner from concept to volume production.

Axetris is a division of privately owned Leister Process Technologies which has over 60 years experience in the development, production and worldwide distribution of premium technical products.
