Lamination Press
Lamination PressLamination
The Tactilus® press surface analysis system is designed to allow the engineer to measure actual contact forces and pressure distribution between platens of any type of pressing or forming machine. Unlike conventional pressure transducers and load cells, Tactilus® is extremely thin and is designed to be placed directly upon the active pressed surface — yielding unprecedented visualization of your surface pressure profile. Even a slight warping or misalignment of your press surfaces will result in yield reduction, product defects and misregistration leading to products returns and failures. Tactilus® cures that problem!
Tactilus® Technology
Tactilus® is a matrix-based tactile surface sensor. Essentially an “electronic skin” that records and interprets pressure distribution and magnitude between any two contacting or mating surfaces and assimilates that data collected into a powerful Windows® based tool kit. Each Tactilus® sensor is carefully assembled to exacting tolerances and individually calibrated and serialized. The architectural philosophy of Tactilus® is modular allowing for portability, easy expansion, and simultaneous data collection of up to 4 discrete sensor pads. Tactilus® employs sophisticated mathematical algorithms that intelligently separate signal from noise, and advanced electronic shielding techniques to maximize the sensor’s resistance to noise, temperature and humidity.
