Engineering a Stable Battery Housing Challenge During early module testing, a battery manufacturer observed localized housing deformation and edge-seal failures after repeated charge/discharge cycles. Post test inspections revealed subtle swelling and misalignment in the cell stack—but the root...

Thermal Mapping Tekscan’s Temperature Mapping Solution addresses a crucial need in the industrial sensor market by offering a new level of thermal insight that enhances design, process control, and quality assurance. This innovative solution provides dynamic, high-resolution thermal data, making it...

Pressure Welding or Resistance Welding for Medical Devices Challenge A manufacturing assembles their device with a pressure weld and wanted to validate the pressure and load. They had tried using prescale film but didn't get the data them wanted. Solution After testing the I-Scan system with a 5051...

Setting Nip Pressure for High Volume Newspaper Printing Using Pressure Measurement A major Newpaper publisher and printer recently contacted us for help with maintaining their printing quality and efficiency. Challenge Nip pressure, uniformity, and setup are critical factors in the newspaper...

Pressure measurement is vital for gasket design because it ensures seal integrity, helps select the right material, verifies performance, maintains safety, and optimizes the design. Some common gasket materials used in pressure-sensitive applications: Rubber: Ideal for low-pressure applications 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...

Optimize Medical Device Functionality Challenge Manufacturers and researchers continuously strive to validate or improve efficiency and accuracy of medical devices and precision tools. Whether evaluating the effectiveness of a surgical apparatus or ensuring the fit of a health-monitoring device...

Evaluate Coil Spring Pressure Distribution Engineers can take many approaches to designing coil springs. Some designers will clip the end of the spring "square"; creating a small high-pressure point at the end of the spring that transfers load eccentrically. Other designers bend the last coil to be...

High Speed Impact Testing Using Pressure Distribution The I-Scan™ force and pressure mapping system can be used in crash test dummy studies to capture the dynamic pressure and impact force that are exerted during an impact. I-Scan can identify the temporal, local, peak, and spatial pressures of two...
