Tactilus^® allows the user to capture and record pressure conditions occurring in between any two contacting or impacting surfaces in real time. The paper-thin Tactilus^® sensor is actually placed at the contact interface where it records and assimilates both pressure distribution and pressure magnitude on your Windows^® based computer.

The innovation

Exciting advancements in conductive textiles have allowed us to develop a sensor that conforms better to your surface than ever before. Not only does the sensor conform better to curved surfaces but it stretches to alleviate shearing affects caused by shifting contact surfaces - an innovation that no other sensor company can touch! By biomimicking human skin we've taken surface contact pressure measurement to a whole new level.

Tactilus^® now has all the electronics safely encapsulated on the sensor element itself. The Tactilus^® sensor consists of a series of interlaced lines that create a matrix with as many as 16,384 unique sensing points. Tactilus^® Windows^® based software communicates with the sensor up to a theoretical 1,000 frames per second - fast enough for impact force measurement. For users desiring direct interfacing with their own control software Sensor Products can supply an API.
