Sensor Components
Heraeus Sensor Technology develops, manufactures and markets products whose function is based on structured thin films of platinum (Pt). With such an orientation the company is intentionally positioning itself at the start of the added value chain, i.e. the manufacture of components.
The customers of Heraeus Sensor Technology are generally manufacturers of equipment for process measurement technology, the life science sector, the complete bandwidth of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or subcontractors for mass markets such as household appliances and motor vehicles, just to name a few as examples.
Since nothing can be better or more reliable than the sum of its parts, Heraeus Sensor Technology today leads the world market for long lasting Pt temperature sensors in thin-film technology for accurate and reproducible measurements. The reason for the market leadership is not only the control of material properties and coating processes, but also of production processes with reliable process management and well-conceived quality assurance with a high throughput.
Apart from some millions of temperature sensors, with its expertise in Pt thin-film technology, Heraeus Sensor Technology also manufactures gas-mass flow sensors for exhaust gas recirculation systems and platforms for the construction of multi-sensor systems. In this respect the company philosophy is to always develop new product variants together with customers and end users and to master the associated tasks for widening the knowledge base.
