Virtus and ACUTRONIC collaborate on MEMS testing tools

Sept. 11, 2008
Virtus Advanced Sensors (www.virtussensors.com) and ACUTRONIC USA (www.acutronic.com) said they are working together to develop advanced tools for the testing of 5- and 6-axis Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) inertial sensors based on VIRTUS' proprietary sensor technology.

Virtus Advanced Sensors (http://www.virtussensors.com/) and ACUTRONIC USA (http://www.acutronic.com/) said they are working together to develop advanced tools for the testing of 5- and 6-axis Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) inertial sensors based on VIRTUS' proprietary sensor technology.

The firms said that an affordable high-speed 5- and 6-degree-of-freedom test capability is not currently available commercially and that the development of such a system would spark the growth of new high performance, low-cost MEMS-based products, including automotive stability controls.
