Rotary sensors can help determine the position of a moveable
body in relation to an axis. They are essential to the smooth running of car
engines in the automotive industry, for example. Fraunhofer researchers have
developed a new kind of sensor that combines precision measurement with
flexible handling, allowing it to be customized to specific measurement tasks.
The scientists will be presenting their prototype at the Sensor + Test trade
show in Nürnberg from June 3 to 5 (Hall 12, Booth 12-537).
