Tekscan Grip System

Tekscan Grip System

Grip System - Determine the force with which the human hand grips objects.

Grip™ System
Tactile Grip Force & Pressure Measurement
The Grip TM system measures and evaluates static and dynamic pressures from grasping objects. Grip measures interface pressure for human hand and finger gripping applications to assess comfort, design, and ergonomics. The system is used to improve design for a more ergonomically sound product, study carpal tunnel and repetitive motion syndrome, or analyze the human hold on various tools and sports equipment. It is an ideal tool for collecting vital information and insight to enhance product design, manufacturing, quality, and research.

Key Features & BeneFits SyStem
• simultaneous measurement of left and right hands
• numerous independent sensing elements for localized detection of pressure points
• One subject can grip several objects, in many ways once the hand is instrumented
• High scanning rates of up to 750Hz (tethered version) SenSor
• sensor form factor allows for full range of hand motion
• Paper-thin sensor does not affect the grip “feel”
• One size fits all
• Durable and reusable

Types of Tekscan pressure mapping systems:

- I-Scan
Measure and analyze the interfacial pressure between any two surfaces. Many applications, such as energy storage.

- In-Depth Tire Analysis
Improve tire design from the inside and out with systems that analyze static and dynamic tire footprints, as well as tire bead seating and sealing.

- BPMS (Body pressure)
Optimize designs for bedding, padding, positioning and seating.

- Nip Measurement
Checking the uniformity of the pressure rollers and eliminating errors in machine settings.

- Grip System
Determining the force with which the human hand grips objects.

- Wiper System
Assessing the profiles of the pressure force on the wipers and the pressure distribution at the contact.
