MALVERN, PA — (Marketwire) — 02/08/12 — Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that its VPG Process Weighing division has unveiled a new video highlighting the features and capabilities of the G4 modular high-speed instrument for weighing and force measurement and control applications. Based on more than 60 years of experience, BLH and Nobel Weighing Systems have developed the G4 for multi-channel operations and for today-s communications requirements. The new five-minute,
MALVERN, PA — (Marketwire) — 01/19/12 — Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that its VPG On-Board Weighing division has expanded its offering to include TruckWeigh, a new overload monitoring and payload maximization system for medium- and high-capacity vehicles greater than 8.3 tons (7.5 metric tons). Designed for easy installation, TruckWeigh is the industry-s first such system with a low-weight construction to maximize payload capacity, and solid-state axle deflection
MALVERN, PA — (Marketwire) — 01/18/12 — Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors division (VFR) has released a new video that demonstrates the thermal EMF characteristics of four resistor technologies: thin film, thick film, metal strip, and Bulk Metal® Foil. The short video demonstrates how a slight temperature rise can introduce significant thermal EMF error voltages in the thin film, thick film, and metal strip resistors, but causes pract
MALVERN, PA — (Marketwire) — 10/12/11 — Vishay Precision Group (NYSE: VPG) today unveiled a new video that presents a demonstration of the ESD-withstanding capabilities of two resistor technologies: thin film and Bulk Metal® Foil. Using an ESD testing system and 10 kilohm 1206 resistors, the demo shows that, while a single 3,500 V ESD pulse results in a relatively minor 1520 ppm resistance change to a thin film resistor, it also causes several cracks to its resistive element under the e
MALVERN, PA — (Marketwire) — 10/06/11 — Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced the opening of a new Precision Center in Japan for its Alpha resistor brand. VSMP and VSM series resistors made in Japan will ship from the Precision Center with finely tuned custom resistance values within a few days. As with all Vishay Foil resistors, specific "as required" values (e.g. 998.995 ohms vs. 1 kilohm) can be supplied at no extra cost or delivery time. Now, engineers can o
MALVERN, PA — (Marketwire) — 08/03/11 — Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors division (VFR) has enhanced the RCK and S series of high-precision Bulk Metal® Foil (BMF) resistors. The devices feature an improved design and manufacturing process resulting in improved power dissipation, fast thermal stabilization of less than 1 second, low thermal EMF of 0.05 microvolts/°C, resistance tolerance to 0.005% (50 ppm), and increased performan
