Optimize Medical Device Functionality Challenge Manufacturers and researchers continuously strive to validate or improve efficiency and accuracy of medical devices and precision tools. Whether evaluating the effectiveness of a surgical apparatus or ensuring the fit of a health-monitoring device...

Automotive Door Pressure Wind, noise, and water leaks in a new vehicle can be a significant source of customer dissatisfaction, create a perception of poor quality, and cause warranty expenses. Proper adjustment of hinges and door latches while the car is in the factory and the doors are being...

Evaluate Coil Spring Pressure Distribution Engineers can take many approaches to designing coil springs. Some designers will clip the end of the spring "square"; creating a small high-pressure point at the end of the spring that transfers load eccentrically. Other designers bend the last coil to be...

High Speed Impact Testing Using Pressure Distribution The I-Scan™ force and pressure mapping system can be used in crash test dummy studies to capture the dynamic pressure and impact force that are exerted during an impact. I-Scan can identify the temporal, local, peak, and spatial pressures of two...

Wafer Polishing Pressure Measurement Wafer or Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) requires that an even surface is achieved or subsequent manufacturing steps will be adversely affected, costing your company money. The I-Scan™ pressure mapping system provides instantaneous insight into the pressures...

Balancing Squeegee Pressures Using Pressure Measurement Challenge A misaligned squeegee can lead to poor print quality, inconsistency, and considerable product defects, increasing costs and product waste. Solution The I-Scan™ force and pressure mapping system is a key diagnostic and machine set-up...

Spray Pattern Pressure Measurement Challenge Distribution of the spray from a nozzle is important, but difficult to quantify. A nozzle manufacturer needs to meet their customer's needs. Selling a too high pressure nozzle might cause damage to property or injure people. Developing a low pressure...

Semiconductor Clamping Pressure Distribution Challenge Unknown clamping forces during computer chip and heat sink mounting or wafer probe testing can cause considerable product defects and quality issues. This can lead to lower yields and increased costs and product waste. Solution The I-Scan™ force...

Improve Seat Belt Design & Comfort With Pressure Measurement Challenge Seat belts are a very important safety device in a vehicle but ineffective if not worn properly. Studies of why people don’t use their seat belts highlight comfort as a critical factor. Solution The I-Scan™ pressure and force...

Pressure Distribution of Printer Ink Cartridge Seal Challenge Ensuring a proper seal between an ink cartridge cap and cartridge body is vital for proper performance of a printer. A weak seal can cause leaks, clogging of pen nozzles and overall poor printing performance, resulting in high warranty...
