Tekscan systems are used across manufacturing environments to control process forces, improve product quality, and reduce scrap. From nip rollers to sealing jaws our pressure and force sensing solutions help engineers validate setup, troubleshoot variation, and ensure repeatable output.
Nip & Pinch Roller Optimization
Measure pressure across roller interfaces to diagnose uneven loading, web wrinkling, print defects, or coating variation. Ensure optimal tension, alignment, and material handling in converting, printing, laminating, and calendaring processes.
Packaging Design & Manufacturing Assessment
Assess and improve packaging design and sealing effectiveness by using pressure mapping to identify poor seals, leaks, and uneven contact. This supports design validation, process optimization, and reduced waste across manufacturing and R&D.
Roll & Web Alignment
Visualize side-to-side pressure imbalance caused by roll skew, crown defects, or misalignment. Quickly validate setup after roll replacement and minimize scrap during changeovers.
High-Temperature Sealing & Bonding
Optimize sealing bar force distribution in high-temperature processes such as flexible packaging and thermoforming. Improve seal consistency, reduce leakage, and minimize burn-through.
Machine Sealing Jaws
Measure pressure distribution between sealing jaws to identify uneven force, worn parts, or heat variability that can lead to poor seals and product waste, and use that insight to optimize machine setup, improve quality, and reduce scrap in packaging operations.
Sealing Jaw Pressure
Ultrasonic Welding: Contact Lens Packaging Solution
Ultrasonic Welding & Thermal Joining
Characterize force profiles and contact uniformity during ultrasonic welding and thermal bonding applications to improve weld integrity, validate process parameters, and eliminate costly scrap.
Embedded Force & Condition Monitoring
Incorporate thin-film force sensors into machinery or fixtures for load feedback, predictive maintenance, and intelligent control loops.
