About TecSense
TecSense develops and sells optochemical sensor systems for measuring oxygen and other gases in industrial processes. The product portfolio includes the TecPen sensor series (Weld, MAP, Fluid, Fibre, Dot), the compact Ox100 inline measuring system for packaging lines, the TecMicro process control system and the TecSense HSA headspace analysis system. The systems work with sensor spots or glass fiber optics and enable non-destructive, repeatable measurements without gas sampling. Fields of application include modified atmosphere packaging with automated 100% process control, monitoring of shielding gases during welding, quality control in beverages, and process control including explosion-hazard areas. The measuring devices are factory-calibrated, SIP/CIP-stable and insensitive to magnetic and electric fields.
