Sensors Teaching Lab FHNW

This laboratory is used in particular for teaching measurement and sensor technology, which is characterized by the fact that many different sensors can be tested “hands-on”.

Our offer

We offer sensors for many measured variables, which can be borrowed for initial preliminary tests.
