The FlexiForceTM Sensor Characterization Kit is a time-saving, affordable tool enabling engineers and designers to understand how FlexiForce sensors perform in a controlled loading environment. Users will gain a baseline understanding for sensor performance before moving into prototyping and more advanced design stages.
Benefits
- Test and characterize FlexiForce sensors with the same methods used by Tekscan application engineers.
- Be more confident in FlexiForce sensor Performance as you proceed to prototyping and later design phase.
- Save time without having to build loading fixtures and circuitry from scratch.
- Program custom loading profiles through the open-source software.
- Desktop loading fixture allows users to apply controlled loading profiles to sensors and characterize performance.
- Interchangeable analog circuit modules allows to test and characterize the functionality of their FlexiForc sensors with ease.
- Open-source software interface allows users to control loading, record sensor data, adjust sensitivity, and calibrate the sensor.
- Available in two loading varieties:
- 1 lb and 10 lb
