Wireless waves at Lake Faak
The SAW Symposium in the “Hotel Karnerhof” on the shore of Lake Faak puts wireless sensors employing surface acoustic waves, and their application for rough industrial uses in the focus.
Es funkt am See! – CTR organisiert international besetztes Symposium
Beim SAW-Symposium vom 11. bis 12. November am Faakersee (Kärnten) steht die Funk-Sensorik basierend auf Oberflächenwellen (engl. Surface Acoustic Wave – SAW) und ihre Anwendungen für raue Industrieeinsätze im Mittelpunkt. Experten aus Forschung und Industrie aus Europa, USA, Russland und China haben sich angekündigt.

Ultrafast temperature reading for high-speed motors
How do you manage to measure a rotor’s temperature when it rotates 15,000 times a minute? CTR researchers achieved the impossible. High-speed, high-voltage motors are used to power high-speed drive units, such as compressors, high-pressure fans and certain centrifugal pumps. High speed here means up to 15,000 rpm with voltages of up to 6.6 kV!
Radio smartens up fireproof plate
Refractory components have always been in the hot seat. SAW sensors now ensure that they also transmit valuable information by radio even under the most extreme conditions.
Sensoren bleiben cool bei 1000 Grad Celsius
CTR erprobt SAW-Transponder in der Stahlpfannen- und Walzenlogistik. (RFID im Blick)
Wireless SAW sensors get into F1
Transense Technologies plc, UK based technology transfer company, have developed a new non-contact SAW torque sensor for Formula 1 Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) in collaboration with McLaren Electronic Systems Ltd.

An European Project aims to demonstrate wireless SAW sensors operating in an unprecedented temperature range. (www.sawhot-project.com)
Sensors for monitoring power lines
An innovative sensor technology is able to monitor high voltage power lines and provide information on load-oriented power flows.
New Tags Use Crystal , Not Silicon
An RFID System containing a piezoelectric crystal is able to operate in extreme temperatures.
SAW-Sensoren funken auch bei 400 Grad Celsius
Kristall sorgt für klare Verhältnisse Stahlpfannen, Karosserien in Lackierstraßen, Isolierung in Industrieöfen – ein Piezokristall als RFID-Tag liefert auch unter Extrembedingungen wertvolle Informationen, wie Temperatur und Identifikation. (RFID im Blick)
