Evaluating Sensor Performance Shouldn't Be a Guessing Game We at Tekscan manufacture our sensors for maximum durability to provide you with the best performance for your investment. However, over time and through repeated loading, individual force sensing elements will eventually start to vary in...

It's October, the month of the year where people all over the world proudly wear pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Cancer is a disease that has affected all of our lives in some way. Words cannot do justice to the long and arduous journey that the fight against cancer can be for the...

Success knows no borders when it comes to capturing pressure insights. "Insights Around the Globe" is our new periodic blog series featuring real-world application stories direct from Tekscan's global team of channel partners. Our first installment in the series comes from John Guy of Stress...

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...

Isn’t it satisfying when two connecting parts *snap* perfectly into place? Single moments like the *click* of a buckle or a padlock, and even the *pop* a sealed jar makes when opened for the first time, are clear audible indicators of a robust and secure product design. For design engineers of these...

Part 4 of 5: Comfort & Ergonomic Assessment Pressure mapping helps R&D teams target opportunities to produce a more comfortable end-user experience. In this next edition of "Pressure Mapping: A Design Engineer's Magnifying Glass," we'll explore how pressure mapping technology can help determine peak...

Pressure film products, like Fujifilm Prescale, are one of the more common methods used for testing interface pressure between two surfaces. When pressure is applied, tiny microbubbles burst within the film to show various degrees of pressure, through color density, that corresponds to the pressure...

Part 3 of 5: Machine Design & Setup Precision Pressure mapping helps R&D teams standardize machine design & setup processes to ensure consistent product, run-after-run. In this next edition of "Pressure Mapping: A Design Engineer's Magnifying Glass," we'll explore how pressure mapping technology can...

While its roots are in R&D, pressure mapping technology has more uses to help deliver machine alignment insight, either as an in-field service tool, or an embedded application. The video below shares some unique ways pressure mapping technology can be used outside of the R&D lab. Companies today...
