Ultrasonic Welding: Content Lens Packaging Solution

Background Ultrasonic welding machines are used to create uniform seals, which are vitally important for containing products like contact lenses. In the ultrasonic welding process, thermoplastics are bonded together through the use of heat and applied force. A damaged seal can result in leaky...

Embedding Higher Standards in Arthritis Diagnosis

Background Many rheumatologists perform joint assessments by manually exerting pressure on an area with their thumb or two index fingers to elicit a response. It is generally assumed that fingers will "blanch" at around 4 kg/cm 2 of force, which is then used as a benchmark for the physician to...
PressureQC InLine

PressureQC: Embedding Greater Control of the Packaging Process

Background In high-throughput processing – such as in bottling and food packaging industries – there are several twists, turns and other impacts a product encounters on its way to completion. Quality control personnel take precautions to make sure their systems are running as smoothly...

Joint Analysis System in Action!

Tekscan's joint analysis system can be found in clinical and research settings worldwide. See how the Cleveland Clinic BioRobotics Lab used the K-Scan™ to evaluate dynamic joint pressure...

Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) Therapy

DTR Therapy software images: Before and After treatment DTR Therapy uses T-Scan™ digital occlusal analysis data to measure the impact of excursive movements on the occlusal plane. The goal is to identify contacts that may be overly engaging during excursive movements, a problem that can lead...
Force Feedback Glove for Motorbike Riding

Force Feedback for Grip and Riding Safety

Background As motorbike riders control the majority of a bike's functions with their hands (steering, adjusting the throttle, and using the front brake or clutch), hand dexterity performance is crucial for safe riding. Even minor changes to control inputs can cause a rider to lose control of their...

Force Feedback Crutches for Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Background Following leg injuries and surgeries, it is critical for patients to reduce weight-bearing activity on their recovering leg and to gradually increase the weight they put on that leg over time. Taking these precautions helps bones and tissue heal correctly. Physiotherapists often help...
