As a leading provider of quartz piezoelectric measurement technology, we are in full control of the entire manufacturing process at our Swiss headquarters. Disk-shaped crystals, the same size as a contact lens, are installed over the whole length of the sensor – and Kistler even operates its own facility for growing crystals according to a proprietary formula. Cutting-edge production equipment operated by highly qualified specialists ensures that potential fault sources are excluded at the earliest possible stage; in-depth final inspections include a tightness check and various function tests; uniform sensitivity throughout the sensor’s entire length is verified on the calibration system. Over 50,000 Lineas sensors for Weigh In Motion (WIM) have already been manufactured in-house and shipped from our plant in Winterthur, Switzerland. Systems based on Lineas sensors have regularly set global benchmarks for accuracy, reliability, lifetime, and ease of use.Learn more about our sensor production.
