Sherborne Sensors selected by DaVinci Aircraft Inc. to supply accelerometers for the US Military

July 9, 2013 - PRLog -- London, UK – Sherborne Sensors,a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of sensors for military, aerospace and industrial applications, has been selected by DaVinci Aircraft,  a company that specialises in sourcing obsolete aircraft parts, to supply customised accelerometers for the US military.

The Defence Logistics Agency for the US military approached DaVinci Aircraft to source a number of highly customised accelerometers to extend the life of some of its older military aircraft platforms. DaVinci Aircraft soon discovered that the companies that originally supplied the sensors for these aircrafts have now gone out of business or no longer manufacture the required parts.

Being able to safely extend the life of military platforms such as aircraft to address future threats within the budgetary constraints that exist has become vital and being able to continue to supply the parts for these, even if they are no longer being manufactured is critical.

Leonardo Parra, founder and president of DaVinci Aircraft Inc. is a DOD Defence contractor that supplies aircraft components to the US Government, he explains, “Before speaking to Sherborne Sensors we had all but given up hope of being able to source the highly customised parts. Luckily Sherborne Sensors are experts in the design and build of customised high performance sensors and despite the specialised nature of these products it could turnaround the order extremely quickly.”

“Customised products are Sherborne Sensors’ speciality,” said Mike Baker, Managing Director, Sherborne Sensors.  “We are able to design, develop, test and deliver customised sensor products and systems across a variety of markets and employ a number of experts in mechanical prototyping, electrical circuit design, accessory design and integration, and sensor packaging who are extremely adept at designing robust, accurate and repeatable products, in a cost-effective and timely manner.”

Sherborne Sensors can customise any of its wide range of products to conform to specific customer requirements. All Sherborne Sensors’ products are thoroughly tested and calibrated to international standards at the factory prior to shipment and are accompanied by a Guaranteed On‐Time Delivery programme.
