Understanding the Science Behind Pressure Mapping

From biomechanics to manufacturing, pressure mapping is transforming the way we understand and enhance performance. Systems like Tekscan’s I-Scan offer real-time insights into pressure distribution, force, and load balance across surfaces.

Whether you’re optimising the comfort of seat designs, improving medical devices, or enhancing the efficiency of industrial seals, this technology provides critical data that can significantly enhance performance.

At Techni Measure, we’re proud to offer a variety of options to suit your pressure mapping needs. Besides the I-Scan system from Tekscan, we also offer other solutions like the Tirescan, body pressure measurement systems, nip measurement, battery systems, and more.

Insights into the TireScan System

Optimising tyre performance begins with understanding how tyres interact with the road. Tekscan’s TireScan System provides high-resolution insights into pressure distribution, allowing engineers to analyse critical factors such as traction, wear, and load balance.

By capturing detailed data in real time, TireScan facilitates better decision-making in tyre design, testing, and performance enhancement. It aims to improve safety and durability while enhancing fuel efficiency. TireScan is truly revolutionising our approach to tyre technology and vehicle dynamics.

Body Pressure Measurement System (BPMS)

Are you in search of a reliable system to measure body pressure for your upcoming project? Tekscan’s BPMS system is here to help!

If you’re aiming to boost comfort, improve ergonomics, or advance healthcare solutions, getting accurate info on how pressure is spread across the body is key.

Tekscan’s Body Pressure Measurement System (BPMS) offers a close-up look at how pressure is applied and distributed, making it a must-have for anyone looking to create better seating, bedding, or cushioning.

Applicable across various fields, the BPMS provides data-driven insights that can be translated into practical, real-world applications, helping to address everyday challenges effectively.

Tactile Grip Force & Pressure Measurement

Over the years, the Grip system has been put to great use in a variety of applications, and one of its standout features is helping to improve the comfort of steering wheels. After all, how drivers feel while behind the wheel can significantly influence their decision when buying a car!

Assessing driver comfort can be a bit tricky, especially with all the advanced features in today’s vehicles. Modern steering wheels come with a bunch of buttons and controls designed for convenience, but it’s essential to ensure they meet the ergonomic needs of drivers.

The Grip Pressure Mapping System from Tekscan is a fantastic tool designed to measure and analyse the pressure and forces your fingers, thumbs, and palms experience. It even helps you understand how much pressure you feel when reaching for those touch points. Plus, it can identify vibrations that drivers encounter, whether they’re on the road or just idling. This information can really help enhance the driving experience.

How Does The Nip Pressure Alignment Tool Work?

In precision-driven industries, achieving optimal nip pressure is crucial for ensuring product quality and performance. Tekscan’s Nip Pressure Alignment Tool (NPAT) provides high-resolution pressure mapping that empowers engineers to analyse and optimise nip pressure across various applications.

From enhancing the performance of rollers in printing presses to optimising lamination processes, NPAT enables real-time insights into pressure distribution, helping to identify imbalances that can lead to defects. By integrating NPAT into testing protocols, manufacturers can significantly reduce waste, improve efficiency, and elevate overall product reliability.
