Fight, Flight or Flex Response 💪

Strain gage Advanced Sensors Technology, as a key internal component of finished sensor designs, is a long-recognized industry standard. The new flexible Advanced Sensors Technology strain gages detect the slightest change in electrical resistance, occurring in response to an applied force. In addition to their reliability, strain gages are relatively compact and low cost. This has facilitated their widespread adoption into many of today’s force, load, position, pressure, tension, weight, and strain sensor designs.
With many options of gage configuration and flex connections, we can provide sensors for location on even the smallest high-density PCBAs for class-leading test capabilities.

As sensor count increases, so does the wiring complexity and with that reliability problems. Each individual wire / connection, manually created is a potential source of noise and failure. Additionally, the labor costs for making such intricate gage bonding and wiring assemblies are becoming increasingly prohibitive; however, there is a solution to all these problems. Micro-Measurements Advanced Sensors Technology offers the load cell / transducer manufacturers a solution by providing custom sensor / flexible circuit assemblies. These sensor / flex circuit arrays, designed by our staff of engineers working with each customer, provide a single, complete assembly incorporating Advanced Sensors gages, resistors and other sensors. The sensors are precisely located to meet the required tolerances with all electrical connections already completed under very precisely controlled conditions. This assembly is then bonded to the transducer element in a single step ready for cable attachment, protective coating application and final electrical check / balance.
