MALT Magnetic Alignment Localisation & Tracking System
ROXTAR Project
Magnetic sensors offer potential for contactless detection techniques. These magnetic sensing technologies are recurrently exploited by CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES (CTEC) to provide innovative solutions, either as components or as complete systems:
• Its Eddy Current Sensors products are used for high precision motion control on distance up to 3mm. They are used in its actuators or for making customised
force & torque sensors.
• Its Inductive Sensors are used for distance measurements up to 100mm, and find applications for example as tyre wear sensors.
• Longer range electromagnetic detection systems, from 0.1m to 0.5m, have been shown feasible for localisation and for identification of objects via SURGIMAG and MUSIC projects.
Using this background, and in the frame of ROXTAR project, CTEC has developed an accurate Magnetic 6 DoF Alignment Localisation & Tracking (MALT) device with a detection range larger than 1meter.
