- Full Description
-
The German company is a pioneer of innovation in the world of sensor technology. Their electro-active polymer (EAP) based platform technology serves as the foundation for a wide range of applications and services. By leveraging this technology, they obtain data for AI-based systems and services, optimize machines and robots for new functionalities, and enable new applications in smart textiles. They also enhance equipment availability through condition monitoring and provide innovative, easy-to-use sensors for geo and structural health monitoring.
Their EAP platform technology, built on intelligent elastomers, allows for standardized and customized sensor solutions and forms the basis for true customer innovation. Their services encompass both standard products, which can be adapted to specific requirements, and tailored solutions where they address measurement challenges by customizing their sensor and actuator technology.
Their product portfolio includes strain, position, force, and tactile sensors.
The company is interested in technology and research partnerships. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company’s robust and cost-competitive sensors enable position, displacement, force, and tactile measurement across a variety of applications. Made of rubber, these sensors tolerate installation misalignments while compensating for any measurement errors caused by such misalignments, making them ideal for retrofitting or use in structural health and geo monitoring with a simple mounting process. Furthermore, the sensors are highly flexible and can endure strains of up to 100%.
Equipped with an in-built adaptable electronic system, the sensors provide both standard analog output and digital communication IOs. The digital IOs allow for the adjustment of measurement range and alarm criteria on-the-fly, eliminating the need for mechanical adjustments.
