Mechanical engineering

In mechanical engineering, precision, reliability, and efficiency are essential. Whether in development, quality assurance, or series production, accurate measurement data forms the foundation for safe processes and innovative products. Althen provides sensors, measurement systems, and complete solutions specifically developed or customized for mechanical engineering applications. Whether in the chemical industry, food processing, plastics, metal, wood, paper, or textile manufacturing – our systems measure force, pressure, torque, temperature, displacement, vibration, and more, ensuring optimal control, monitoring, and documentation of your processes.

Modern defense systems rely on precise and reliable sensor technology throughout development and deployment. As sensors must operate under extreme conditions such as temperature fluctuations, shock, vibration, moisture, and contamination, dependable measurement data is critical for safe, fast, and risk-minimized decision-making. Althen provides robust sensor solutions for measuring angular rate, pressure, dynamic pressure, weight, and inclination in land, sea, air, and space applications—proven with leading manufacturers in the defense and security industry.

Whether in beverages, food, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals: our sensor technology enables precise and robust automation of dosing, filling, and packaging processes. Load cells, signal conditioners, position and vibration sensors, as well as data loggers ensure continuous monitoring and control. In transport applications such as cranes and elevators, our weighing modules provide maximum safety and process stability—delivering solutions that not only measure, but create measurable added value.

The construction industry requires robust and long-term stable measurement systems for harsh environments. Althen provides high-precision sensors and measurement solutions for construction and monitoring tasks in infrastructure projects such as bridges, tunnels, dams, foundations, and high-rise buildings. Parameters such as pressure, vibration, inclination, concrete strain, and soil and rock pressure are recorded. Combined with data loggers, autonomous multi-channel systems are created for reliable long-term monitoring—for example in structural health monitoring, geotechnical applications, and structural analysis.
