KISTLER REMAINS WORLD MINIATURIZATION CHAMPION
19 January 2007 - Kistler Instruments
| Kistler launched the smallest (front diameter of just 1 mm) direct measuring mold cavity pressure sensor in the world (type 6183A...) back in 2003. Two new cavity pressure sensors in current production are also extremely small: with a length of 4,4 mm the new indirect measuring pressure sensor Type 9210A… is only slightly bigger than a single granule. |
Kistler launched the smallest (front diameter of just 1 mm) direct measuring mold cavity pressure sensor in the world (type 6183A...) back in 2003. Two new cavity pressure sensors in current production are also extremely small: with a length of 4,4 mm the new indirect measuring pressure sensor Type 9210A… is only slightly bigger than a single granule.
The new direct measuring pressure sensor Type 6184A… has a front diameter of 1,2 mm and length of just 6,4 mm. Even under extremely tight mounting conditions the new sensors can measure the cavity pressure for extremely small moldings reliably. The side cable exit allows radial or axial mounting in molds. At the heart of the sensors are the PiezoStar crystals developed and grown in-house. Their high sensitivity makes them the only way of achieving such extreme miniaturization. The new sensors naturally exploit single-wire technology to enable for multi-channel cabling. This method allows connection of up to 8 sensors to the CoMo Injection process monitoring system Type 2869A… or the DataFlow analysis system Type 2865A… with a single cable.

About: Kistler Instruments
Kistler is one of the world's leading suppliers of measurement technology. Kistler pressure sensors, force sensors and accelerometers use the piezoelectric effect for precise measurement of mechanical properties. Kistler is a privately-owned Swiss company which develops and manufactures sensors and electronics for measuring pressure, force and acceleration. Additionally, the functionality of electronics plays an increasing role when defining a measuring system and even more frequently, electronics in fact becomes part of the sensor itself. Most of Kistler's products have been developed in close cooperation between leading universities or research facilities and Kistler's engineers. Investments in Kistler's research department have led to the development of new crystals which enable reliable measurements to be taken under the most extreme environmental conditions. The results of our in-depth crystal research will give us a leading edge in advancing the state-of-the-art. |
