FEMTO Gripper, Grasper, Inline Force Sensors
FBG-powered Sensors for Harsh Environments
With a focus on precision, reliability, and miniaturization (femto!) of embedded sensing technology, LILIKOI Innovation and partner Micronor Sensors now introduce groundbreaking product families of Femto force sensors: Optical Inline Force Sensors for harsh environments, Optical Finger and Grasper Force sensors for robotic applications, and Smart Bracket Strain Guage Sensors tailored for the T-slot automation extrusion market.
LILIKOI‘s Fiber Bragg Grating-based Optical Force Sensors represent a leap forward in sensing technology because they can deliver precise force measurement in harsh environments, even in extreme conditions characterized by high temperatures, corrosive elements, and electromagnetic noise. The sensors target the challenging conditions found in medical, industrial and aerospace applications.
