TFP Technology GmbH

Seamlessly integrate innovative features into your product or component.

As functional and sensor threads, optical fibers, LEDs, thin single wires or glass fibers 

with a layout perfectly tailored to your application

on a material-homogeneous carrier material for your further processing.

Tailored Fiber Placement with Functional Integration
Textile sensors and integrated functions for your fiber preforms and sensor mats

Do you want to collect and use real-time data from your product or component to improve the health, performance, safety, comfort, and efficiency of your applications?

Textile sensors can be seamlessly integrated into fiber preforms and sensor mats.

At TFP, we work with you to develop a custom-fit sensor mat in terms of shape, size, sensor layout, and data transmission method. We embroider the sensors and conductive traces onto a substrate that you can easily process further and that best meets the requirements of your application.

Capture environmental data, monitor processes, or improve the user experience to ensure the performance, efficiency, and safety of the products and processes in which your components are used.

Textile sensors and functional threads perfectly complement your product because they:

We process the finest strands down to 0,04 mm, coated threads, and other sensitive materials that are difficult or impossible to process using conventional manufacturing methods. When integrated into smart textiles, our washable textile sensor mats offer a high level of wearing comfort and impress with their textile feel.

No matter what challenge you are currently facing with your product or component, let's work together to find a way to integrate innovative features.

Integrate functions with sensor elements and functional threads or illuminated surfaces.

Together with you we will develop a Sensor layout for fiber composite materials, which meets all the requirements of your specific application and ensures that the sensors monitor all critical areas in the fiber composite, in which damage can occur.

The sensors integrated into the fiber composite mats detect changes in certain parameters, such as Pressure, tension, temperature, humidity, or other relevant physical or chemical quantities, which could indicate possible damage to the material.

Detect potential damage to fiber composite structures early, before it causes serious problems. Reduce maintenance costs while simultaneously increasing your customers' safety.

Integrate these and other functions using embroidered functional threads:

  • Damage detection (damage sensing, wire mesh)
  • Recording of load conditions (e.g. deflection of elements)
  • Transmission of information (data transfer) as well as
  • Construction of sensor arrays using flexible conductor tracks
  • Integration of light and light surfaces.

Benefit from the integration of functional threads or textile sensors into your fiber preforms.

Economically

Cost-efficient production of complex preforms

Complex structures

Complex patterns, layers, or arrangements of fibers in preforms for pinpoint reinforcement

Light & stable

Lightweight fibers and carrier materials, but high stiffness due to optimal fiber alignment

Hybrid

Individual combination of lightweight fibers (carbon, glass fiber, aramid, basalt, …) and metals

Multifunctional

Seamless integration of heating wires or sensor threads into fiber preforms

Reproducible

Manufacturing with high repeatability in small and large series.

Minimize the number of individual components and save work steps.

We manufacture complex preforms and sensor mats with customized functional integration, precisely tailored to your industrial application. Integrate our finished semi-finished products into your systems. only one step into your production. Save working time for the placement of many components and Reduce sources of error in the production process of your components or products. Replace many work steps with a preform with integrated functions or a sensor mat.

Textile sensors and sensor mats for your industrial application

We embroider various sensors, such as pressure and strain sensors, onto a textile substrate. This creates material-homogeneous fiber preforms with integrated functions or semi-finished products for your sensor mats, which you can seamlessly embed into your product.

Sensor arrays and textile sensors from manufacturer TFP Technology

Capture data in real time

Sensor arrays with conductive traces

Sensor arrays with conductive traces offer precise monitoring and data transmission in various applications. These arrays consist of an arrangement of sensors, for example, mounted on... Fiber composite with integrated conductor tracks are positioned. The data, captured in real time, is output simultaneously by multiple sensors.

We integrate strands or wires for data acquisition using sensors directly into your fiber preforms.

Capture data from multiple sensors simultaneously and obtain comprehensive information to make data-driven, sound decisions.

Submit information

Highly flexible textile sensors

Our highly flexible sensors can be integrated into a wide variety of substrates to create smart textiles. These textile sensors can be used for applications such as pressure measurement, RFID identification, and as temperature-resistant NFC antennas.

The data collected by the sensors is transmitted in real time, e.g. via:

  • Cables
  • NFC
  • RFID or UHF RFID

The type of data transfer depends on your desired application.

Functional and sensor threads complement components and products in these and other applications.
