Welcome to the MasTec Website

Our focus this month is on Micronor, our superb Swiss manufacturer and supplier of Automation Products.

Micronor is first and formost a high precision engineering company.

They are well known world wide for their broad range of precision rotary incremental and absolute encoders. They also make a wide range of other automation products.

MasTec's has worked with Micronor for 15 years as their distributor for NZ and much of Oceania.

MasTec ships many hundreds of Micronor products throughout Oceania each year.

Micronor make a full range of Industrial Encoders and other products for many vertical markets

The list above is Micronors.

Micronor products are also used in these NZ verticals

  • Geothermal and Hydro Generation
  • Saw Mills and Board Plants
  • Plastic Molding
  • CNC
  • Robotics
  • Machine Builders
  • and many other situations

MasTec doesn't stock the complete range of Micronor products, as it is too large and diverse.

Micronor products are highly reliable, and MasTec have very few RMAs with the factory.

Micronor also make safe encoder products suitable for Class I explosive areas. The ZAP Free light encoders and a range of gas sealed enclosed encoders.

If you are needing a steady supply of Micronor products or just one unit, please talk to our sales engineers.

For OEM supply MasTec will set up with the Micronor factory, forward orders to make you production smooth.

If you are needing medium to long distance Linear Encoders, the best there is comes from Micronor's neighbouring country, France.

Vectral make Tape Encoders with no moving parts except the head which doesn't rotate but just slides on a precision machined slotted tape.

Tapes can be up to 400 meters long with an accuarcy of 0.1 mm on that length.

To connect a moving carriage or moving head to a rotary encoder through wheels, gears or other means is expensive and high maintenance.

Linear encoders are simple, just roll out the slotted tape, tension it with springs, just clip or bolt on the encoder head to the moving carriage and then cable directly to a standard Quadrature Encoder Input on a PLC, PAC, Industrial PC or Counter system.

Head velocities can be up to 10 meters/sec or 36kph

The prefect solution for many machine builders.

LabVIEW Tips for the month

No Tip this month, sorry, our programmer is busy programming a large system.

Maybe next month.

LabVIEW Development Work

We are still accepting LabVIEW development, programming, teaching and coaching for 2014.

We already have several major LV projects for 2014 - 2015 but always have room for a few more.

LabVIEW - Cleaning up Code or Updating Code

MasTec can also pull code from LabVIEW 3 up to LV 2013/2014 if required, or anything in between.

LabVIEW Training Read our training page

We are especially interested in teaching Software Design and Style Skills in LabVIEW, besides just how to use all the LV tools, functions and structures.

We can teach Bloom layout styles or LCOP Design.

We feel much of the programming techniques taught in LabVIEW courses, do not bring programmers to a professional level of Software Design.

Opportunity -- Sales Consultant - This is still open

MasTec is currently looking for a new sales person to join our professional sales team.

We are looking for a new graduate from a university or technical school that wants a career in Sales.

We will also consider sales people who have been in the business for a few years.

Training will be provided and an excellent support system we have instituted in MasTec will be put in place for the successful candidate to assist them to be successful inside the team.

The applicant must have a degree in Electronics, Computing, Instrumentation or similar, to apply.

Please send an email with CV to our Director Rob Maskell. Include any relevant information that will assist you in being considered. All applicants will be contacted. Possible applicants will be asked for interviews and further discussion.

MasTec staff are paid above market rates and are rewarded for performance.
