Pressure indicating sensor. (Instruments).


The Xsensor is an electronic tactile tactile /tac·tile/ (tak´til) pertaining to touch.

 force and pressure indicating sensor. Xsensor allows an engineer to monitor precisely how force is disbursed between any two contacting or mating surfaces in real-time while the event occurs. Any application of testing where pressure lies between .25 psi and 12,000 psi is a viable candidate for Xsensor technology. Xsensor is said to be a valuable aid in determining drawing pressure in dies and molds used in the shoemaking industry, as well as in tire tread footprint analysis. Other applications are determination of effective placement of strain gauges strain gauge
