Karma Sensors is flying

September 2014 News

Karma Sensors, a division of Atlas Electro-hydraulic Systems, recently introduced its wide range of process control and automation products at a special event held on board a Boeing 747 at the SAA Museum. Here the company showcased some of its process measurement products and services which are offered to all industrial sectors. Karma represents a range of carefully chosen agencies to meet most applications in manufacturing processes. These include ABB, AI-tek, ASM, KBK, Kriz Sensors, Honeywell, Flowline, Rittal and Yudian. In addition, Karma provides system integration solutions and also designs, builds and installs electrical and process control panels to meet customer requirements. These are all backed up by Atlas’s fully equipped in-house workshop for support and repair. “We are a specialist designer, manufacturer, assembler and installer of electric and process control panels,” said Karma Sensors MD, Richard Mayr.
