Sensor solutions target IoT & M2M applications

Based on printed polymer pastes, SensoInk is a 5V analogue solution that operates at 5V with low power requirements. Featuring polymer thick film technology, SensoInk can be printed as potentiometers, resistors, switches or keyboard contacts on circuit boards or electronic components. It enables device developers to quickly and easily implement individual specifications without sacrificing quality. When using the sensing technology, there are no negative electromagnetic effects. Only two components are required for signal transformation: a printed potentiometer track on a carrier material and a conductive wiper.

Sensofoil thin-film membrane potentiometers are claimed to be the world's most reliable membrane position sensors. SensoFoil offers a flat design of 0.5 to 1mm, repeat accuracy of 1mm to 10µm, easy to achieve redundancy and problem-free device integration. The standard linear Sensofoil is available in lengths of 50-500mm, 40mm wide rotary, and custom sizes and shapes. Sensofoil is available in PET, magnet or hybrid technology.

“To detect how the state of the internet-connected ‘thing’ changes, an electronic evaluation of the initial state must be conducted,” says Jens Kautzor, CEO, Hoffman + Krippner, Inc. “With our sensors you can very affordably and accurately measure changes, detect positions or count objects.”
