Knitronix offer formable textile sensors based on our proprietary wire knits. By combining fine metal wires with non-conductive fibers we design and manufacture high duty cycle fabric sensors to detect temperature, pressure and the presence of liquid.

PRODUCTS

Temperature and Pressure Sensors

TEMPERATURE

Ultra-linear 225° - 400°K continuous

Breathable, formable, stretchable single layer which can be placed in direct contact with skin. RTD principle: temperature is averaged over the entire sensor surface. Very low thermal inertia and hysteresis.

BASIC PRESSURE

Preset threshold limit switch

Dual-layer contact switch combining conductive and non-conductive fabric. Embed in mats, seating or other surfaces to signal bodily contact. Tested to 1MM cycles – a flexible limit switch or occupancy sensor.

MATRIX PRESSURE

0.1 kPa ~ 130 kPa  continuous

Utilizes piezoresistive elements in a matrix configuration yielding dozens or hundreds of continuously varying values across the entire sensor surface. Flexible, lightweight broad-range pressure monitoring. 

FROM FINE KNITTED METAL FABRIC

MADE OF COPPER, BRASS OR STAINLESS STEEL WIRE

Knitronix produce textile sensors detecting pressure, temperature and the presence of liquid. Our target markets are industrial safety and occupational health, patient monitoring and performance tracking. Our proprietary knitting machinery and material combinations are protected by EU and US patents.
