While even the smallest available gyroscope may still be too large for certain applications, and sensor wiring can pose significant challenges, RVmagnetics offers its passive MicroWire sensor as an alternative. With dimensions ranging from 30 to 70 µm, it effectively overcomes size limitations and wiring constraints while also withstanding chemically aggressive environments, such as acidic conditions found in car batteries or alkaline environments like concrete.
MicroWire sensor is based on magnetic principles and enables contactless measurement of an object's position, orientation, displacement or movement, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.
For applications requiring precise position sensing, the MicroWire sensor is ideal for detecting the tilting of large structures, such as bridges, as well as for tracking the exact position of miniature diagnostic devices inside the human body, thanks to its biocompatible properties. Additionally, position detection can be performed from distances of up to 5-6cm from the MicroWire, with the potential for extended range in more complex setups. MicroWire sensors can also be used for triangulation or for simple verification of whether a piece of equipment or construction component is in its designated place.
Non-invasive position sensing with Seamless Integration & Real-Time Monitoring
The video showcases a white plastic bar with a MicroWire sensor attached to its surface. As the plastic bar moves, our sensing system detects the change in the MicroWire sensor's position. The displacement data is sent via Bluetooth and displayed on the tablet’s screen.
Conclusion:
With this experiment, we prove the feasibility of the MicroWire sensor to act as a linear sensor and demonstrate that the measurements take place in a contactless manner. The system is highly adjustable and scalable to the custom needs of our clients; however, as each case is unique, we are happy to prepare a custom Proof of Concept for your company.
DemoKit is a compact, user-friendly solution designed to demonstrate the capabilities of our MicroWire sensing technology in real-world applications.
