About imc Test & Measurement

imc Test & Measurement GmbH, headquartered in Berlin, develops and manufactures measurement, control and automation systems as well as telemetry solutions for the wireless, contactless transmission of measurement data from rotating components and moving machinery. The telemetry portfolio ranges from single-channel systems (T1, TEL1-PCM) for strain gauge and temperature measurements to modular multi-channel telemetry with up to 256 channels, data rates up to 10 Mbit/s and ranges up to 2000 m (MTP-NT, CTP, CTP-Rotate, Dx). The systems support strain gauges (quarter, half and full bridge), thermocouples, PT100/PT1000, IEPE sensors and voltage signals. The portfolio is complemented by sensor solutions such as torque measurement wheels (WTT), steering force sensors (CLSx) and wheel force transducers (WFT-Cx) from CAEMAX Technology GmbH in Munich, which was fully acquired in 2022. As a solutions provider, imc offers project consulting, calibration, strain gauge application, custom housings, electronics development, system integration, test bench automation as well as device rental and training (imc ACADEMY). Customers come from the automotive, mechanical engineering, rail transport, aerospace, wind energy and marine shipping industries. Founded in 1988, the company employs around 200 staff and is part of Axiometrix Solutions.
