History and Profile of KUBE Electronics AG
On the historic day of July 10, 1981, KUBE Electronics AG was founded by the visionary infrared specialist Walter Kuster and business executive Gianni Berardi. Thus the name KUBE.
KUBE started producing window materials for the passive infrared industry in Schmerikon, Switzerland. Since then, KUBE supplies these important materials to the manufacturers of intruder alarms and motion detectors. Beyond that, KUBE developed equipment to detect passive infrared radiation in industry, traffic control, security and military.
KUBE's equipment and components are esteemed for their high performance, quality and reliability.
KUBE was affiliated with
Eltec Instruments, Inc. of Florida, a
manufacturer of pyroelectric sensors, and still maintains a close
cooperation, and represents Eltec products.
In the 1990ties, KUBE pioneered in the development of compact, integrated passive infrared sensing systems. This new technology, mainly the introduction of cone optics to replace fresnel lenses, allows applications in many new fields of industry, consumer products and in energy conservation. Todays detectors are easy to use and low cost.
The new technology is patented worldwide, but licenses are
offered at fair rates.
