Squeegee Leveling Sensor System
The single greatest squeegee improvement since the squeegee!
The Tactilus® squeegee leveling sensor is designed
to allow the user to collect pressure position and
magnitude data. An improperly aligned squeegee results
in misregistration, uneven dispersion of solutions and
possibly serious product defects. All of which lower yields
and raise costs. The Tactilus® squeegee leveling sensor
is physically placed right at the interface where contact
occurs assuring a greater degree of accuracy, repeatability
and validity than any other pressure transducer or load
cell could provide.
Tactilus® software is so user-friendly that even
an inexperienced user will quickly benefit from
its powerful features. Within minutes Tactilus®
reveals precisely where the weighted average
center of mass is along the squeegee surface.
When this is dead center, you know your
squeegee is perfectly aligned.

Tacilus® 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, yet user-friendly, 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 6 discrete sensor pads. Tactilus® employs sophisticated mathematical algorithms that intelligently separate signal from noise, and advanced electronic shielding techniques to maximize environmental immunity to noise, temperature and humidity. Our proprietary sensor design ensures the most robust sensor in the industry - an investment that will sustain thousands of uses.
