Group3 Technology's primary business is the design and manufacture of electronic equipment of two types - scientific instruments for measuring magnetic fields, and specialist control systems.
The company is 15 years old, and exports from New Zealand 99% of it's production. It currently has products in most of the world's prestigious physics research laboratories - over 120 organisations in 24 countries.
Group3 produces the worlds most accurate and cost effective Hall Effect Digital Teslameter, an instrument for measuring magnetic fields. A recent development is an accurate analog output magnetic field transducer. Design, manufacture, calibration and repair take place at the company's Auckland office.
For twelve years Group3 has supplied control modules to US manufacturers of Ion Beam Implantation equipment. These Ion Beam implanters are used in the manufacture of semiconductor circuits.
From this work, and a wide knowledge of particle accelerators in general, 8 years ago Group3 launched a new control system, with specific advantages for controlling high voltage equipment: fiber optic communications, high speed and high accuracy. This system is now being used in many universities and research institutes around the world, and is being used on the latest prototypes from a number of manufacturers of medical and industrial particle accelerators.
Group3 recently introduced an advanced controller & I/O module that communicates using the industry standard DeviceNet protocol.
Group3 is a small company of about eight people producing leading edge technology in a highly specialised field, exporting to many countries around the world. Its highly skilled staff have the flexibility to take advantage of new advances in technology and can respond to market requests much more rapidly then its large corporate competitors. The geographic distance from its primary markets is not important in these days of instant communication and rapid transport.
