Force Sensors for Sports / Fitness Sports and fitness devices designed with force sensors result in real-time, accurate monitoring devices that can measure both force feedback and pressure distribution. Our thin and flexible sensors allow for a non-intrusive design that can measure both small and...

Background Having proper nip roll alignment is crucially important for high-volume printing press machines. Five minutes of run time on misaligned rolls can result in thousands of dollars in damaged product. Depending on the size and location of the nip, taking nip measurements can be difficult...

Background Most electronic assembly processes are performed by high-precision robotic systems. These systems are tasked to properly move and insert delicate components onto a circuit board. As a result, the assembly robots must be checked frequently for changes in alignment that can occur with...

Background The food packaging industry must always maintain high standards for their packaging seals. These standards are to protect the consumer from tampering and/or receiving damaged product. Sealing bars are used to properly seal two parts of a package in a high temperature environment, and...

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...

Fox's Sport Science uses Tekscan's in-shoe and grip systems to measure the performance of Chris Lowery, Jordan Farmar, and Santonio Holmes in three separate skill tests. Here's the video: Want more information on our Sports Performance applications? Download the flyer now!

Balancing Squeegee Pressures Using Pressure Measurement Challenge A misaligned squeegee can lead to poor print quality, inconsistency, and considerable product defects, increasing costs and product waste. Solution The I-Scan™ force and pressure mapping system is a key diagnostic and machine set-up...

Pressure Distribution of Printer Ink Cartridge Seal Challenge Ensuring a proper seal between an ink cartridge cap and cartridge body is vital for proper performance of a printer. A weak seal can cause leaks, clogging of pen nozzles and overall poor printing performance, resulting in high warranty...

Pressure Measurement Improves Packaging Machine Sealing Jaws Performance Challenge A poor quality seal produced by a packaging machine can result in large quantities of product waste for a manufacturer. This can be a result of uneven bars, low forces or worn parts in the clamp sealing assembly...

Pressure Measurement Improves Packaging Design and Sealing Identifying defects in product packaging, as well as optimizing their manufacturing process, is essential for keeping products fresh, sanitary, and free of damage. The I-Scan™ pressure mapping system can be used to measure the effectiveness...
