Peratech

based on patented, award-winning quantum tunnelling composite (qtc®) technology, peratech’s force sensors bring a new dimension to tactile, or force-touch controls. qtc materials change from being an almost perfect insulator to becoming increasingly conductive in proportion to the amount of force applied to them. the materials are very robust andresilient, so that changes in resistance due to even the slightest pressure are both predictable and repeatable over more than a million cycles.for designers of human machine interfaces (hmi), qtc technology offers unrivalled creative freedom and opportunities for product differentiation in both ergonomics and aesthetics. it makes touch buttons, panels and displays far easier to use.peratech’s award-winning, thin and flexible qtc sensors come in single-point, 3d single-touch, and 3d multi-touch versions. they can be used above, below or around rigid or flexible displays, or under metal, plastic, wood, or glass surfaces. the qtc touch experience is intuitive, consistent, precise, durable and reliable, whatever the environment, even when using gloved fingers or in the presence of moisture.the diverse applications for qtc force sensors include consumer and automotive electronics, smart home systems and appliances, and industrial controls. over a million devices around the world now employ the technology. peratech’s custom design and integration service minimises both cost and time-to-market. the company also offers a range of standard products. in 2017, peratech's 3d multi-touch matrix sensor won a british engineering excellence award and an ecn impact award. peratech holdco ltd. is a privately held company based in richmond, north yorkshire, uk.
