Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, commonly referred to as ADAS, are becoming far more common in modern-day vehicles. Key to enabling ADAS functionality is the cooperation of cameras, radar and LiDAR (Light Imaging, Detection and Ranging) as well as multiple ultrasonic sensor systems, all of which work together to identify objects, pedestrians and potential hazards for the driver, and thus ensure the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians. According to the measurement accuracy of the driver assistance systems used and the ultrasonic sensors, the recorded data is transmitted directly and immediately to the vehicle’s on-board computer. On the basis of this data, the connected control devices can trigger the necessary actions in real time.

Today’s vehicles have up to 8 distance sensors at the front and rear in the standard vehicle and 10 to 12 sensors in the premium vehicle. The sensors used today can calculate the distances even more accurately which is crucial for the safety of modern mobility and traffic systems, especially self-driving cars.

In order to ensure that your ultrasonic sensors can calculate distances with the highest degree of precision, the piezo is encapsulated with a special FERMASIL silicone foam to dampen the vibration impact.

The properties of FERMASIL silicone foams, tailored to requirements, are critical in ensuring reliable and functioning ultrasonic sensors.

Our fully automatic mixing and dosing systems ensure highly accurate processing and dosing of these.

Are you also faced with the task of encapsulating distance sensors with extreme accuracy in high quantities and at high process speeds with very small material quantities? We are able to do this with our dosing technology. Within the cycle times specified by our customers, we can apply even the smallest quantities with a highly repeatable accuracy of +/- 0.01 mm into the sensor housings.
