Tekscan offers over 200 standard pressure mapping sensors, which can be a bit intimidating if you're just familiarizing yourself with our technology and its capabilities. Over time, however, we've noticed that certain of our sensor designs tend to lend themselves better to a broader range of general...

As battery technologies evolve to meet growing demands for electric vehicles, energy storage, and portable electronics, effective monitoring becomes crucial for improving performance and ensuring safety. Among the various aspects of battery monitoring, pressure measurement is often overlooked...

Testing experimental battery designs and chemical compositions is not without risk. Innovators in this field know that finding the sweet spot of performance, safety, and lifespan is a delicate balance. Optimizing charge and discharge cycles of a new electrochemical battery design is a true...

What is a pressure sensor? The term pressure sensor includes a wide variety of different mechanical devices for distinct kinds of pressure measurement. Most pressure sensors (commonly referred to as pressure transducers) often have a diaphragm interfacing with pipes or tubes to measure the pressure...

If you follow our blog, you may have seen our recent post about how pressure mapping complements force measurement in gait analysis. That post explains how Tekscan’s systems can enhance other gait lab equipment with additional data. Capturing something as complex as human movement or gait is...

Composite materials have been and will continue to be essential to the future of aircraft design. In general, composites materials like carbon-fiber and ceramic compounds offer benefits of being sturdy, lightweight, and resistive to high-temperature or corrosive environments. However, they often can...

Just like many other industries today, the medical field is adapting more automated technology and systems to improve efficiency and eliminate guesswork. Some diagnostic systems, such as ones used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) processes, have been around for many years and are available in a...

As you may recall from an earlier post, running I-Scan Evolution software from a Windows ® tablet can provide a lot of flexibility in data collection. This includes giving users greater freedom to use their I-Scan pressure mapping systems for remote data collection in complex or potentially...

Part 5 of 5: High-Speed Impact Testing Pressure mapping helps R&D teams develop products that stand up to the rigors of everyday use. In our 5th and Final edition of the "Pressure Mapping: A Design Engineer's Magnifying Glass," we'll share how capturing quantifiable drop test data with pressure...

Adjustable sensitivity (also known as adjustable gain) has been a standard in Tekscan pressure mapping systems for years; but what does it actually mean? To begin answering this question, let’s take a closer look into how Tekscan pressure mapping sensors work. Each pressure mapping sensor is...
