FOGALE Sensors

FOGALE Sensors is a French maker of sensing and measuring systems. It is based in Nîmes, France. The company says it builds sensors for harsh conditions, from cryogenic tanks to turbines at 1400 degrees Celsius. Its customers work in aerospace, robotics, energy and infrastructure, so aviation is one of several markets.

The company was founded in 1983 by engineers from CEA and ONERA. The site describes about 40 years of work in extreme measurement settings. In 2023 it joined Texys Group, a European group in embedded measurement for motorsport, automotive and aerospace. In December 2025 the group added ThermoEst, a specialist in temperature measurement.

FOGALE groups its products into named measuring systems. LYSENO does non contact distance measurement. CAPABLADE monitors blades in rotating machinery. SENSKIN is an anti collision system. KRYON measures level and mass in cryogenic tanks. BARYS inspects bores in gun barrels. Other systems cover gap measurement, alignment and structural monitoring, nanopositioning, displacement, rotation speed and thickness.

The site also sorts its work by industry, by measurement type and by use case. Latest news items include SENSKIN Modular, a retrofit version of the SENSKIN family, and a show appearance at Automate 2026. Visitors can send a message through a form to ask for a custom solution.
