Highly integrated electronic components for use in industrial environments have to withstand extreme pressures or temperatures. In its HE-Lab, Fraunhofer IPM tests the sensors at pressures of up to 2500 bar and temperatures of up to 250°C.

For use in harsh environments, sensors must be particularly robust. Fraunhofer IPM has a specially developed measurement laboratory for the development of such sensors and systems. In the »HE-Lab«, we test individual components and complete systems under extreme conditions, e.g. at high temperatures and pressures, on behalf of our customers.
