Ultrasound in motion
"In parking aids and reversing sensors as well as in cash dispensers and on wind turbines, ultrasonic transducers are critical for the function, because they enable fast and exact measurements. In the development and production of ultrasonic transducers, SECO Sensor...
1000 batches – a new record
A year of superlatives is drawing to a close. But even in the last days of 2022, SECO still breaks a record: Our fitting material team produces the 1000th batch of our unique, in-house material, which is used to couple the vibrations of the piezoceramics to air. Never...
Our smallest vs tallest
From installation in the smallest assemblies to the largest ranges, SECO offers a suitable solution for every measurement task. Our smallest ultrasonic transducer SC049 has a diameter of only 6 millimeters with an installation height of 5 millimeters. This means that...
Building is in progress…
There is a lot of hammering, digging and working going on in front of our Coburg headquarters: SECO is being connected to the local district heating network. Zukünftig we will then get our heating energy from the nearby waste-to-energy plant. This protects the...
What a typical SECO workplace looks like?
The daily work routine in our transducer manufactory consists of a varied mix of different manual activities. For the production of an ultrasonic transducer, a piezoceramic disk is typically bonded with our in-house fitting material. The transducer is then contacted...
The sun is smiling…
...and of course the large photovoltaic system on the roof of our Coburg headquarters is happy about that. We already draw a large part of our energy requirements at both production sites from renewable sources. And we are constantly working to improve our carbon...
