Sensor Products Inc., a developer of tactile pressure sensing solutions, has released the Tactilus heat-sink analysis system for testing surface contact and pressure distribution between the heat sink and heat source.
The Tactilus sensor measures 2 x 2 inches and 0.015 (0.38 mm) inches thick with a scan speed of up to 1,000 Hertz and an operating pressure range of 0 to 100 psi (0 to 7 kg/cm2). The accompanying Windows-based software provides data analysis, including pressure versus time graphs and histograms, image rendering and region of interest scaling. The Tactilus heat-sink analysis system also provides the pressure data needed for FEA simulation predictions.
