Electronic Pressure Mapping Systems, Tactilus


Tactilus® real-time dynamic Electronic Pressure Mapping Systems, offered by Sensor Products are commonly used throughout the automotive industry to quickly and accurately map pressure distribution between any two contacting surfaces. Tactilus® is increasingly viewed as an effective and cost efficient way to quickly assist engineers in R&D, failure analysis and quality control efforts. This system is ideal for assembly line assessment for OEM’s and aftermarket product manufacturers. Tactilus® is an electronic sensor system that evaluates tactile contact pressures in real-time. The Tactilus® system comes equipped with all components necessary to collect data for comprehensive analysis, including a matrix-based sensor mat, controller, and user-friendly software. Not only is Tactilus® conformable to highly curvaceous surfaces and intolerant environments, but is portable and runs on a standard laptop computer. The upgraded feature-rich software for Tactilus® offers 2-D and 3-D imaging, region-of-interest viewing, longitudinal and latitudinal analysis, graphical displays of data in bar, pressure vs. time, line scan, histogram and isobar charts, statistical analysis of average/minimum/maximum pressures, total force over any selected area and more. The data may also be exported to virtually any third party software.

The most common applications and corresponding examples revealing how real-time pressure mapping aids the automotive industry are listed below:

  • Brakes – Verifies consistent compressive force across brake shoe; assesses squeal and fugitive noise. Used for quality control in calliper design and development.
  • Clamping – Authenticates circumferential uniformity on cylindrical clamps and determines appropriate tensioning.
  • Door seals – Confirms uniform sealing of mouldings and weather stripping for fuel efficiency and road noise reduction.
  • Impact – Determines the location and force of impact during airbag deployment and controlled crash tests.
  • Seat   - Assesses critical points of pressure to aid in more comfortable seat design. 
  • Lamination – Offers assistance in maintaining desired plate pressure for the reduction of scrap rates.
  • Tire tread footprints – Evaluates congruity of footprint and rib patterns. Helpful in research of tread wear patterns and development of rubber compounds and tread designs.
  • Wiper - Evaluates for even surface pressure to maximize wiper effectiveness.
