Temperature Mapping Sensors
Tekscan's thin-film temperature mapping sensors can track real-time temperature data changes between almost any two mating surfaces.
Introducing the T800 Temperature Mapping Sensor from Tekscan.
This thin, flexible, and trimmable sensor provides direct surface contact for accurate, high-resolution temperature mapping with 192 sensing points across a 0-120°C range. Unlike thermal cameras, it works in enclosed, obstructed, or reflective environments, making it ideal for complex applications.
- High resolution: 192 sensing points in a 16x12 array
- Overall Sensing Area:254 mm x 182 mm sensing area (trimmable)
- Temperature Resolution:Accurate to within ~2°C
- Technology: Thermoresistive polymer
- Interface: Compatible with Evolution Handle and I-Scan Software, minimum version 9.5.
The T800 has the same dimensions as our 7800 pressure mapping sensor, and both are trimmable, making them ideal companion sensors to get temperature and pressure data in the same fixture.

Use in Conjunction with the 7800 Pressure Mapping Sensor
The T800 temperature mapping sensor is designed to work in parallel with the 7800 pressure mapping sensor to collect and correlate pressure and temperature data simultaneously.
In the screenshot below, you can see how the I-Scan software uses the temperature map and pressure map connected to each sensor delivering real time data. he Temperature legend uses a unique color scale from the pressure map as you can see from the side-by-side windows.
