Key Developments

In October 2023, Kistler, a global leader in dynamic measurement technology, launched the new KVC 621 SE compact automated testing system for mass-produced stamped parts. This system features a compact width of only 600 millimeters and can inspect up to 4,000 stamped parts per minute, ensuring fast throughput times.
In August 2023, ATI Industrial Automation, a leading provider of robotic tooling and sensing solutions, announced the compatibility of its Multi-Axis Force/Torque (F/T) Sensors with FANUC Robots and FANUC's Force Control Software. ATI's F/T Sensors are renowned for their ability to provide accurate measurements of forces and torques in multiple axes, enabling robots to have a sense of touch and perform delicate tasks with dexterity.
In March 2023, Sensor Technology Ltd, a leading manufacturer of torque sensors, launched a new low-capacity model in its TorqSense series - the SGR 510/520. This new sensor covers capacities ranging from 0.2Nm to 1Nm, expanding Sensor Technology's overall torque sensor range to 0.2Nm to 13,000Nm.
In October 2022, Infineon Technologies, a leading semiconductor manufacturer, launched the new XENSIV Connected Sensor Kit (CSK) - an IoT sensors platform for rapid prototyping and development of customized IoT solutions. The CSK combines Infineon's high-performance and power-efficient XENSIV sensors, including radar, environmental, and pressure sensors, with the PSoC 6 microcontroller. This integrated platform enables advanced IoT use cases and significantly reduces the time-to-market for IoT product development.
In December 2020, Sensor Technology, a U.K.-based sensor manufacturer, announced a new generation of non-contact torque sensors. These new sensors are based on a four-element strain gauge bridge design and complement the company's existing non-contact torque sensors that utilize surface acoustic wave (SAW) detection technology. The new sensors offer improved accuracy at the same price point as the previous SAW-based models.
