RVmagnetics is a sensor manufacturing startup company from Slovakia. They essentially provide Research and Development services with the application of their
I have written about microwire sensors before (see “Measuring temperature inside composites and bondlines”). However, at that time, in 2018, I did not realize the long history of this technology, the wide breadth of published research on its development, nor the rapid rise of magnetic materials worldwide for a variety of measurement and sensing applications.
What I did understand was the disruptive possibilities of being able to measure, without contact, temperature from underneath 25 millimeters of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) inside a bondline or laminate during parts production
and afterward, while the part is in service. Equally disruptive, was the potential to use a contactless microwire sensor instead of thermocouples to measure temperature
