3D-MEMS devices open new sensing applications
Ulf Meriheina, Business Development Manager at VTI Technologies in Finland, predicts a bright future for 3D-MEMS sensing technologies in both industrial and consumer sectors.
This technology is passive, obtaining its operating power from an external reader or interrogator.
The advantage to this system is that there are no batteries, power sources, or wires.
VTI's measurement philosophy provides an easy and cost-effective approach to measuring pressure, especially in extremely harsh environments.
VTI develops sensors for applications in automotive, medical and sports as well as in instruments and handheld terminals.
Robust manufacturing processes have made it possible for VTI to develop products that can be used in systems where low power and good temperature stability are essential.
"The demand for tyre pressure measurement applications is growing".
"VTI can offer pressure measurement solutions that are based on capacitive measurement principle providing a very low power solution with parallel resistance higher than 10Gohm".
"These features are highly appreciated by the aircraft industry".
"VTI's pressure platform not only offers good temperature stability but also provides extremely high resolution, particularly for those applications where minor pressure changes need to be measured", says Rick Russell, Director of Sales and Marketing, VTI Technologies.
