Touch Sensor for Preh volume control: technology and accuracy. A case study about capacitive sensors in the automotive industry.

NOSSO DESAFIO

To meet the requirements of the automotive industry

The volume control of the new Audi A3 needed to overcome the technical and esthetic limits. KURZ accepted the challenge and participated in the solution with its unique technologies:

 

  • Integrate to the sophisticated design inside the sedan without compromising the functionality.

 

  • Allow easy operation, either mechanically or by touch, driver, and passenger.

 

  • Meet Volkswagen’s (VW) strict standards and the standards of other premium manufacturers.

 

  • Offer total freedom of design, including backlighting, room lighting, and deadfront design, which reveals its functions only by touching.

Solution: PolyTC® Sensors for high performance and flexibility

The solution was found with PolyTC® sensors of subsidiary POLYIC of KURZ.

Built with a razor-thin silver metal mesh on a clear PET substrate, sealed by a second layer of PET, such sensors are:

<b>Produced in roll-to-roll</b>

Produced in roll-to-roll

This production model delivers high efficiency and reliability even in large volumes.
<b>Flexible for your project</b>

Flexible for your project

They offer high flexibility, allowing adaptation to curved surfaces without compromising the functionality.
<b>Sustainable</b>

Sustainable

They replace the conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) by the silver microstructure, offering higher performance and sustainability.

Result: Functionality and design to the future

The PolyTC® sensors deliver strong and efficient solutions to Pech and Audi A3:

 

  • Durability
    The absence of splices between the sensor and the electric connection part increases the stability and shelf life of the product.

 

  • Conductivity
    The silver metal mesh assures that the sensor remains responsive even under thicker materials.

 

  • Flexibility
