Electronic pressure measurement systems
Tactilus sensor systems are essentially comprised of a thin, conformable sensor "skin" that collects data from discrete sensing points positioned beneath its surface.
Engineers in all industries arguably spend the majority of their time identifying, defining and solving problems From those involved in design and assembly, to those performing maintenance, solving problems and finding solutions are at the heart of a job well done

Often, erroneous pressure is a culprit in the event of a project's failure.
Sensor Products' Tactilus electronic pressure measurement systems make pressure profiling simple and efficient for engineers, thus saving time and preventing costly mistakes and waste.
Tactilus is an indispensable aid in product development, design analysis, quality control, failure evaluation and troubleshooting for professionals involved in diverse industries such as automotive, aerospace, transportation, medical equipment, consumer goods, plastics and textiles.
Tactilus sensor systems are essentially comprised of a thin, conformable sensor "skin" that collects data from discrete sensing points positioned beneath its surface.
Instantaneously, the data is sent to comprehensive statistical software.
The systems produce rapid and accurate mapping of interface pressure between any mating, contacting or impacting surfaces.
Providing users with unprecedented adaptability and flexibility, these systems can easily adapt to any measurement modality or application.
Pressure distribution and magnitude can be assessed in plantar applications, tire tread footprints, impact, heat seals, fuel cells, printed circuit board manufacture, flat panel displays and much more.
Additionally, Sensor Products' next-generation technology detects a more expansive range of pressures with powerfully enhanced software that permits maximum customization to reduce instances of human error, more rapid data sampling and smoothing and includes digital data recording of critical information.
Through its Windows-compatible software, Tactilus provides an array of viewing options including isobar and region-of-interest, graphical displays of data in bar charts, line scans and histograms, statistical analysis of average/minimum/maximum pressures, total force over any selected area, pressure vs.
time and more.
An upgraded 8 to 16- bit technology yields greater internal sample speed and filtering.
