The IPH – Institut für Integrierte Produktion Hannover gGmbH is developing a method for contactless detection of rotational angle and torque on unmodified steel shafts in the "Modimo" research project. This approach utilizes natural surface features of the shaft, employing optical methods to determine the rotational angle. The phase shift of the rotational angles allows for the calculation of the applied torque. This technique aims to enable precise monitoring and control of drives and generators without the need for elaborate mechanical modifications to the shaft.
