Process lets sensors be applied by machine

September 29, 2016 By Patrick Curran

kurz-touch-sensor

Until now, plastic parts have predominantly been manually equipped with sensors using mainly the expensive OCA (optically clear adhesives) technology. Integration processes developed by Kurz, however, enable sensors to be applied very quickly and economically by machine. The sensors, including electrical connection (tail), are permanently bonded to the component and are immediately functional. This has […]
