Hamilton Precision Metals, a manufacturer of specialty metals, has provided metal foils to a project that is providing self-service food machines in poor areas in Asia, according to a press release.
The company is providing foils for strain gauges to operate as gravity sensors in the machines. The precision foils separate the products stacked within each of the machines' independent grids and automatically calculate weights in order to process payments.
"We are pleased to support this innovative and highly practical pro-consumption project and help those in poor rural areas affected by poverty," Michael Zhu, China regional sales manager, said in the press release. "Our precision resistor alloy foil is engineered in a range of alloys and is custom-made to meet highly specific criteria for applications like the gravity sensors inside these crucial vending machines."
Hamilton Precision Metals is part of Ametek Specialty Metal Products.
