Sensors & Measurement Solutions
We make companies smarter by providing them high-quality sensor solutions. Our solutions enable our customers to automate, save costs, solve problems or develop new technologies. We provide standard and customized sensors, measurement systems and instrumentation for Test & Measurement, OEM and IIoT applications and provide additional services such as calibration, prototyping, training, consulting and rental.
Custom Load Cell Solutions
You are designing a new product or machine, and somewhere a force or weight must be measured. The standard product range of force sensors and load cells don't offer a suitable solution. What now?
Then you probably are looking for a customized load cell that exactly fits your machine or application. By strategically looking at mechanical components in your application, we can change passive components into active sensors.
We offer custom load cells for OEM or Test & Measurement applications in which force, reaction torque, or weight must be measured based on strain gauge technology.

We offer a wide range of standard products but have the ability to fully customize a sensor or measurement system to meet your specific needs. Known for our flexibility, experience and quality in creating innovative measurement solutions, we are ready for your future measurement challenges.
