Testimonials:
I was looking for a thin, flexible film to measure force in my [medical] device; something that would not interfere with its size. We looked at some competing thin film force sensors but your FlexiForce™ product was more accurate in terms of feedback and linearity. The technical expertise and product quality were also important for us since we needed to get through the FDA approval process. I would recommend FlexiForce sensors to any design engineer who is looking to measure force feedback without compromising the size or weight of the device.
-Hank Daniecki, RGD Technologies
Tekscan came in for a demonstration, and within five minutes we were watching a live output from our system and our jaws hit the floor. It literally made the pressure sensitive film we had been using look like bear skins and knives. It was that much of a quantum leap improvement. The Tekscan system paid for itself in the first five minutes. We got almost priceless information from it.

"The tire contact patch is markedly different on a curved drum compared to a flat surface. But by performing the measurements on our flat-belt tire test machine, we can accurately, repeatably and efficiently measure the contact patch in real-world situations. Thanks to this new jointly developed technology we can for the first time make the connection between contact patch behavior and real-world tire performance, which ultimately help our customers develop better tires.”
