Innovative manufacturing processes, high-performance sensors for a wide range of measured values, and special solutions for the challenges of hydrogen applications: This is what STW from Kaufbeuren will be presenting at Sensor+Test, 11-13 June in Nuremberg.
Thin-film technology has a number of advantages over alternative manufacturing processes in sensor technology, especially for applications with demanding environmental conditions. The measuring cells have very high media compatibility and work very precisely even at very high pressures. STW has more than 30 years of experience in thin film technology and will be using high-performance pressure sensors to demonstrate the advantages at Sensor+Test.
The pressure sensors from STW are characterized in particular by their suitability for H2 applications. Hydrogen is one of the most challenging media in sensor technology, as it diffuses through many materials, and can result in those materials becoming brittle. STW has developed a special measuring cell design that meets these challenges.
In addition to the pressure sensors, the newly developed SMX.igs-a inclination sensor in both non-safety and safety variants will be a major focus point. Thanks to a newly designed housing with two integrated M12 connections, it is straightforward to integrate into new and existing system architectures. The non-safety version features an innovative Kalman filter that merges the sensor data and calculates the further development of the measured values.
STW will also be exhibiting the SMX.dms-a strain sensors at Sensor+Test. The sensors record mechanical deformations in static structures, typically in bridges, chassis, steel girders, railway tracks or wind turbines for example. This makes them an important tool for monitoring the condition of safety-relevant systems and for preventing unplanned machine downtimes.
Like all STW products, the recent innovations from the modular sensor system are suitable for use in the harshest conditions. They have the highest protection classes and are ready for use in a very wide temperature range: from extreme cold to extreme heat. STW products are compatible with STW’s open-source software platform openSYDE, with which the sensors can be configured, integrated and monitored in a user-friendly way.
STW will be displaying their latest innovations at Sensor+Test in Nuremberg, June 11-13, in Hall 1, Stand 508.
