Interactive case presentation

The Delft University of Technology is well known for its successful student teams. These TU Delft | Dream Teams are solely managed by the motivated students themselves. During their annual Partner Day, our Sander presented three interactive project cases that sparked curiosity and enthusiasm among students and partners alike:

  • Smart Brick – our solution for intelligent infrastructure monitoring.
  • 3D Wheel+ System at HTM – a cutting-edge application for tram weighing and wheel profile monitoring.
  • Vibration Monitoring with an ASC 4311LN Capacitive accelerometer– highlighting how high-precision accelerometers can optimize machine health and predictive maintenance in production environments.

After the cases, there was time during a pop-up event in the Dream Hall for all students and other partners to talk afterwards and exchange views at length.

Other partnerships at the Dream Hall

Our team enjoyed engaging discussions with students, exploring how measurement technology plays a crucial role in solving real-world engineering challenges. Althen is also proud to sponsor two of TU Delft’s renowned Dream Teams:

  • Delft Hyperloop, supported with our custom FDRF603-25/25-RS485-U-IN-AL-CC-4-vacuum-special laser sensors, enabling accurate distance measurement under vacuum conditions critical for high-speed pod testing.
  • Eco-Runner, once agian equipped with an Althen RWT 410/420 torque sensor to help them maximize drivetrain efficiency in their mission to build a car powered by an extertally fired gas turbine. 
Althen Sensors was invited by Project March during TU Delft's annual Dream Hall Partner Day.

Sensors for Project March

Project MARCH, the innovative exoskeleton team, received six ATF336-Z static torque sensors (360Nm) and two ALF255-Z5398-3KN-Digital miniature diaphragm load cells. These sensors help Project MARCH measure joint torques and structural loads in their advanced wearable exoskeleton system, contributing to improved mobility solutions for people with paraplegia.

What we did last year

Deadlines and achieving goals

We are grateful for the warm invitation from Project MARCH and truly energized by the enthusiasm, curiosity, and professionalism of all the students we met. It’s always inspiring to see how young talent is shaping our future with innovative engineering.

To Project March pilot Daan, but also to all the Dream Teams: best of luck in the coming weeks as you finalize your projects. We look forward to your results and are extremely proud that you let us be part of your journey.
