Precision has been a long-time supplier to generator manufacturer Onan Corporation, now called Cummins Power Generation (CPG), according to Precision president Dave Anderson. "We've done projects with them since the early 1960s. Both Onan and Precision are based in the Twin Cities, and our engineering and production capabilities complement each other. So when the opportunity arose to acquire CPG's magnetics unit, it was a natural fit for us." "By selling our non-core assets to Precision, Inc. and entering into a supply agreement with them, we gain a strategic benefit," said Steve Wardleworth, Executive Director--Global Supply for Cummins Power Generation.

Precision, Inc. manufactures custom-engineered and standard magnetic components ranging from surface-mounted inductors to transformers for industrial controls, instrumentation, and medical applications. Based in Minneapolis, Precision has U.S. facilities in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Seattle, Washington; and international operations in Mexico and China.

Precision will continue production of CPG's Blue Chip° (left) and Ladybug° wide band transformers, used primarily for military and aerospace voice and data communications. Both transformers offer frequency response up to 100 kHz; with power handling of 50 mW to 5W by the Blue Chip and 50 mW to 2W by the Ladybug. The Blue Chip transformer is available in 71 standard designs and six PCB-mount packages. Ladybug comes in 45 standard designs and four PCB-mount packages. Precision can customize either product to meet specific application requirements.
