About SAL

Insights into SAL’s mission, values, research activities, and contribution to Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

Indspeed

The INDSPEED project is developing a new ultra-precise magnetic encoder system based on TMR sensors and SmCo pole wheels….

Project goals

  • Develop cost-effective low-field TMR sensing by optimizing SmCo layers and leveraging TMR advantages such as robustness to stray fields and low energy consumption.
  • Reduce system tolerances through advanced sensor and pole writing design as well as AI-supported compensation techniques.
  • Enabling high-speed industrial sensors (e.g. for CNC spindles) without back-bias magnets and as a replacement for expensive high-speed elastomer solutions.
  • Provide precise absolute position measurement with true power-on and multiturn capabilities for robotics and collaborative robots.

Mag-MEMS

The „Mag-MEMS“ project aims to develop a miniaturized 3D tactile sensor as a proof-of-concept demonstrator that can detect shear and normal forces with high spatial resolution and a large dynamic range. This will be achieved by integrating tailored arrays of anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors, which allow for tracking the three-dimensional motion of a permanent micro-magnet embedded in a flexible frame in the sub-millimeter range….

MM-SENS & ACT

The project „MM – SENS & ACT“ developed an innovative MEMS micro-mirror based on magnetic and piezoelectric quasi-static actuators with an integrated magnetic sensor for closed-loop control. The micro-mirror combines large angular deflections and mirror sizes with low-voltage operation, compact design, and high-precision real-time position monitoring….
