The TactArray Pressure Sensor Pad

TactArrays are a flagship pressure mapping sensors and cover a larger area than DigiTacts. TactArrays are a new approach to tactile sensing, designed to perform in even the most complex situations. Taking on the form factor of a thin sheet, they can be molded and stretched around complex shapes and operate even in extreme temperatures and pressure requirements.

What is a TactArray Sensor PAD?

The TactArray instrumentation solution includes a flexible pressure sensing pad that captures pressure distribution between two objects in direct physical contact, representing a broader category of innovative pressure sensors. TactArray solutions have given the “sense of touch” to many products or tools for their development, enabling PPS customers around the world to create many successful products.

Designed for engineers, researchers, and product designers that have a need to capture contact pressure distribution in their applications, PPS’s patented TactArray sensor technology enables a two-dimensional array of pressure sensing elements in a thin, continuous sheet. By placing TactArray sensors between objects, wrapping them around shapes, or applying them to a flat surface, customers measure and visualize pressure information in their applications. Using this simple but powerful capacitive sensing approach, the TactArray provides a platform for the most repeatable and sensitive tactile sensors in the market today along with a wide variety of options for design.

All TactArray instrumentation solutions consist of TactArray sensors accommodating up to 8,192 sensing elements together. Using the included T4500 electronics with USB 2.0 interface to attach to a computer, TactArray solutions run PPS’s Chameleon image capture and analysis software. This industry-leading software is fully featured which means it can export replay, save test data, and perform analysis functions. Chameleon can also record and playback video with your data results for even greater insight and analysis.

Comfortable Tactarray - flexible pressure sensor pad

適合性のあるタクタレー

The Conformable TactArray (CTA) is an ~1mm thick flexible sensor designed as a pressure sensor pad. Its construction from soft, conductive cloth allows the CTA to adapt and conform to various surfaces, including complex 3-dimensional and multi-faceted shapes, making it ideal for attaching to different body parts to improve comfort and fit. Available in multiple sizes and configurations.
