Within the scope of contract development, inoson supports all ultrasonic technical work on the way to the product. This begins with the development of solution approaches and the demonstration of feasibility and ends with support in the development of production technology or even the realisation of production on behalf of the client.

We see ourselves as partners and endeavour to fully understand the application and customer requirements, while at the same time imparting the necessary ultrasonic knowledge. In this way, we achieve synergy effects together with our customers and reduce the development risk. If our customers wish, we can accompany the entire project, but also take on partial tasks.

Results are documented and presented, but the important thing for a joint team with the client is the co-operation.

Ultrasonic waves are mechanical, i.e. elastic waves that can propagate in gases, solids and liquids and are also influenced by the propagation medium. Using suitable ultrasonic transducers, these can be converted into electrical signals or generated from them. Ultrasonic signals can be analysed excellently, allowing sound propagation times to be determined, reflection coefficients to be calculated or attenuation properties to be determined. An outstanding feature is that ultrasound can penetrate walls and is reflected at interfaces of different density and modulus. For this reason, and also because the electronic implementation of signal processing is becoming increasingly powerful, ultrasound has become more and more important in recent years. In addition to the classic use of ultrasound in sensor technology, i.e. for measuring distances, positions, flow velocities, as well as for characterising material properties and structures, there are therefore more and more new applications that provide additional results such as air detection, viscosity estimation, media differentiation, temperature measurement and much more.

So far, so good, but what's the catch?

You need a lot of experience and knowledge of physics to create ultrasonic sensors. There are many cross-sensitivities (such as temperature) that need to be taken into account and the type of wave used also depends on the application.

The knowledge required for this is a mixture of experience, existing solution approaches, physical understanding and, of course, the ability to master the most critical component - the ultrasonic transducer - in terms of design, function and manufacture. There are few resources in this system-technically weighted environment.

With the wealth of experience we have acquired over many years and the application knowledge of our clients, we create synergy that results in the creation of outstanding sensors.

Our motto is: Innovation results from the combination of experience, knowledge, imagination and courage.
