Press

The Tactilus^® press analysis system is designed to allow the engineer to measure actual contact forces and pressure distribution between platens of any of type pressing or forming machine. Unlink conventional pressure transducers and load cells, Tactilus^®  is paper 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 return and failures.

“Our primary proposition is to offer the client precisely what they require or need. Everything we design with respect to the physical sensor element as well as our GUI and DLLs can be completely tailored to your unique situation”
-Jeffrey G. Stark, CEO

Tactilus^® Technology

Tactilus^®  is a matrix-based tactile surface sensor. Essentially an “electronic skin” that records and interprets pressuredistribution 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.

System includes

• Sensor element
• Electronic controller
• software and cable
