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...

Force Sensing Glove by Applied Fitness Between work, family, school, and hobbies, we squeeze so much into our daily routines that finding time to get to the gym or fitness center can be a difficult, if not impossible task. Applied Fitness has incorporated Tekscan's FlexiForce™ sensors into their DX...

In Physical Therapy, Too Much Force Can Be Dangerous The amount of force applied by physical therapists in manual therapy techniques and evaluations is important. However, it can vary greatly among practitioners (as much as 500%) and can, at times, reach potentially dangerous levels. Therefore...

Study: In 2013, a study was conducted to investigate the accuracy of the HIT system used in football helmets. The study focused on the helmet fit in high school aged football players and the assessment of the appropriate helmet size for the Hybrid III, the gold standard dummy used for impact testing...

Force Sensor Embedded in Golf Training Device When the makers of ShotWatch (Grip & Rip Technology), were seeking a thin, economical, repeatable and reliable force sensor to incorporate into their golf-training device, they found Tekscan. Once they incorporated a FlexiForce™ sensor into their...
