Through a joint venture, measurement technology manufacturer WIKA, and the mechatronics group Wittenstein, are looking to open up the future market for haptic sensors.
The aim of the joint venture, Resense, is the development, production and marketing of miniaturised six-axis force-torque sensors for industry.
WIKA is participating in the joint venture with its extensive expertise in the high-tech production of sensor and chip components. The latest silicon bonding technology comes to the fore here.
Wittenstein brings its patented design concept, with which the smallest six-axis hollow-shaft sensors currently available can be realised. This innovation enables high-precision measurement of forces and torques in the tight installation environments of robotics.
Both companies each hold 50% of the shares in the new Resense GmbH. The company is headquartered in Klingenberg am Main, location of WIKA’s headquarters.
