Quantify Grip Forces with FlexiForce™

Accurate grip measurement has become increasingly important in today’s world of continued ergonomic improvement and robotic grip applications. Historically, there have been limitations with grip measurement. Load cells are expensive and bulky; pressure films relay only relative measurements reflecting the maximum pressure experienced over a given sequence. For these reasons, more and more product designers and engineers are turning to FlexiForce™ to solve their grip measurement needs.

FlexiForce force sensors are ultra-thin (0.008"), flexible, non-obtrusive printed circuits. Their construction allows for easy maneuvering and an exclusive fit, even during the most delicate of surgical procedures. FlexiForce sensors are fully customizable to suit your unique OEM grip application. Standard sensors are also available for proof of concept, or for a quick, low quantity, R&D solution.

Our sensors have been used to prototype cutting edge grip force sensor tools in extremely delicate applications, from surgical robots to berry picking.
